The Bequest to a Son and the Hadith: “There is no bequest for an heir”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We are confused by the statement of the female scholar (may Allah have mercy on her): If he bequeaths his wealth to his son, how is a bequest to a son permissible when the hadith states:
Answer:
He bequeaths all his wealth, all the wealth they build up for his sake. Between the heirs and the beneficiary, and the beneficiary does not take more than the largest share, so there is no prohibition in this. Also, if he bequeaths to all the heirs, there is no danger in this, because there is no injustice in this. If he bequeaths to all his heirs, we specify a portion for them, so there is no injustice in this.
