Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man bequeathed one-third of his wealth to be spent on righteous deeds. Is it permissible for his heir to trade with that one-third and spend from it on good deeds, or is it obligatory for him to spend it directly, and is there zakah on it if trading is permissible?
Answer:
As for zakah, there is no zakah on it because its destination is the same as the destination of zakah, which is righteous deeds. As for selling and buying with it, and likewise this matter, he should refer to the judge; he should present the document to him and ask him about what is needed. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah be your father.
