Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If the owner of the wealth used to constantly speak during his life about the virtue of making a bequest, but he died without making one, how should this be handled? Is it permissible to take one-third of his wealth and give it in charity?
Answer:
No. If they permit it and donate it on his behalf, there is no harm. However, it is not permissible to execute this without their consent. Yes.
