Question:
The Shaykh (may Allah grant you success) said: If the one making a bequest says to the person he is bequeathing to, “I give you a third of my wealth,” and the bequeathed-to person gives it to his father, is that valid?
Answer:
It is not valid for him to give it to himself, nor to one whose testimony is not accepted for him, such as his father, his grandfather, or his children.
