The Bequest of Spending on a Disbelieving Family and the Endowment for a Disbelieving Relative

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And you were a gift to the sheikhs. A man was on the verge of death, so he bequeathed to his son to spend on such-and-such a family, which is a disbelieving family. The son complied with spending on this family, and his father said, “Spend on them,” so he spent on them until he died. What should I do regarding that after the father’s death? Does it count as a bequest?

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is a bequest to a disbeliever, because he bequeathed to a disbeliever from among the Jews or whoever else he designated for that, especially if they are poor and in need, then they are entitled to it. Yes.

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I worked and he asked me, and it was permissible for him to endow for his disbelieving relative, just as Safiyyah endowed for her Jewish brother. He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. If the father bequeathed to his son before his death. The father bequeathed with his permission before his death, but when he died, this father died with this son before his death, but at the time of his death, so this father died with this son in an accident. This son is excluded because he became the killer of his father. Does he inherit? Or is the bequest valid? The father bequeathed to his son before his death, but when he died, this father died with his son in an accident. Yes.
