The ruling on endowing all of one's wealth in a bequest
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This is from the Holy City of Madinah, may Allah send the best of prayers and the most perfect of salutations upon its inhabitants. Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) says: Is it permissible for a father, may Allah have mercy on him, to make the entire inheritance an endowment?
Answer:
No, Allah did not permit him more than one-third. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "One-third is a lot." So it is better to reduce it from one-third. We advise giving one-fifth or one-sixth. If you leave behind, he said (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan al-Bayhaqi 10:31 then you will be rewarded for what your relatives inherit from you.

If you leave your heirs wealthy, that is better for you than leaving them poor, begging from people
