The ruling on the gift of a dying person and his disposal of his wealth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man who was on the verge of death gave his wife a quick sum of one thousand riyals, a small amount, and did not bequeath it to any of his children. The scholar is a resident, and the husband's children asked her: What if it turns out that her husband had no money? This is a discussion about a straightforward matter.
Answer:
This goes back to the court; we have no say in it. This is a matter of dispute, and they must return to the judge for it. The well-known rule is that a person in his death throes has no valid transaction, no valid gift, and no valid disposition while he is in his death throes. This is the general rule. As for this specific case, I do not know about it; it requires the judge's review. However, when death approaches a person, his dispositions are taken away; it is not permissible for him to dispose of anything. Yes.
