Executing a bequest if the estate is small and insufficient for the heirs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If the estate is small and not enough for the heirs, is the bequest executed, so that the heirs only receive the bare minimum?

Answer:
If it is within the limit of one-third or less, it is executed. If it is more than one-third, no, unless the heirs approve it after his death. Yes.
