Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
An orphan girl from an orphanage, and the spirit of the most stingy orphan girl who made orphans, and those who are well-off, so I want you to understand whether I should bequeath half of what I own to this orphan girl, or must the heirs agree to that? And what is the limit of a bequest in Islamic law?
Answer:
Its limit is one-third or less, and if you bequeath to her more than one-third, then this is subject to the heirs' consent after death.
