The Meaning of the Hadith: There Is No Bequest for an Heir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Muhammad 'Abd Allah from al-Kharj says: What is meant by the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) for the heir?
Answer:
The meaning is that one does not make a bequest to any of the heirs, because his inheritance is sufficient for him, so he does not treat him unjustly by making an additional bequest for him. It is the consensus of the scholars that a bequest to an heir is not permissible, except if the heirs permit it after the death. If they permit it after the death, then it is valid; it is valid to execute it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
