Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Abu Suqar from Yemen asking, may Allah preserve you. He says: What is the meaning of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding an heir?
Answer:
Yes, there is discussion regarding the hadith, but the consensus of all scholars is that a bequest to an heir is not permissible. For example, you do not make a bequest to your wife, or to one of your children, or to anyone whose inheritance is sufficient for them. You do not bequeath anything to him; the inheritance that Allah has prescribed for him is sufficient for him. Yes.
