Allocating one-third of a brother's estate to build a mosque before the division

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
My father passed away, and after several years, one of my brothers passed away, and we had not yet divided our father's estate. Is it permissible to allocate one-third of my brother's share to build a mosque as an endowment for him? He passed away. His father passed away, and then his brother passed away, and they had not divided their father's estate.

The Shaykh:
Yes, and what?

The questioner:
And he asks: Is it permissible for me to allocate one-third of my brother's estate to build a mosque for him?

The Shaykh:
The consent of the heirs is required. If they agree to it, there is no harm.
