Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a person who possesses wealth to distribute it among his sons or daughters before his death so that the remaining heirs do not receive anything from it?
Answer:
If he distributes it with justice and does not favor one of his children over another, there is nothing wrong with it. As for his statement that he leaves his wealth to benefit from it and expand it during his lifetime, spending from it, giving charity from it, and preparing for his Hereafter, that is more beneficial for him. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan an-Nasa'i 3825Sahih (Darussalam) When he dies, his wealth passes to his heirs. Yes.

أمسك عليك مالك فهو خير لك.
