Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman left me a trust in the form of a bequest of one thousand eight hundred riyals. She instructed me that nothing from it be given to her daughter after her death, and she bequeathed the expenses of the funeral from it, with the remainder to be disposed of as I see fit. What should I do? And do I have any right to this amount?
Answer:
You have no right to this amount unless she stated that you are entitled to your fee from it, or that you may take from it if you are in need. If she did not mention anything to you, then you have no right to any of it. You are the agent, and the agent does not take for himself. The bequest is executed according to what the testator said. Yes.
