The Ruling on Bequeathing the House and Properties to the Wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for me to bequeath the house to my wife? And is it permissible for me to bequeath my properties to her if she is trustworthy and upright?
Answer:
Yes, bequeathing to the wife or giving her something is fine. However, there is no bequest for an heir, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. As for the wife, if you give her something while you are alive, that is one matter; but a bequest to her is not allowed because she is an heir and falls under his statement that one should not bequeath to her. Unless you have divorced her. If she is still in your marriage bond, you do not bequeath to her because she is an heir. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
