Question:
The questioner, Abu Sa'id, says: I have a relative who bequeathed the wealth he left behind and everything he owned for the sake of Allah, and he left nothing for his heirs and children.
Answer:
He has no right to do that. He has no right to more than one-third, or less. He may not make his entire estate a bequest or bequeath all of it. Rather, he should bequeath one-third or less. Yes.
