The ruling on a father’s bequest to one of his sons out of fear for him from his brothers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a father to bequeath to one of his sons before his death, fearing that his rights will be taken by his brothers, because he is weak?
Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to bequeath to a specific one of his sons. However, if he bequeaths to the poor one among his sons, there is nothing wrong with it, because he specified it by description and did not specify it by the person.
