The ruling on depriving an heir of his legal right

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is another paragraph in which she asks about the ruling on depriving an heir of his legal right?

Answer:
It is not permissible to do this; it is obligatory that every heir be given the right that Allah has prescribed for him, for when Allah legislated the shares of inheritance, He explained them in His Book, saying:
These are the limits [set by] Allah, and whoever obeys Allahتِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ
[An-Nisa 4:13]
… and their Messenger. Leave it.
gardens [in Paradise] under which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein; and that is the great attainment.جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
[An-Nisa 4:13]
.
And whoever disobeys Allahوَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ
[An-Nisa 4:14]
. And he is a Messenger to him.
and transgresses His limits - He will put him into the Fire to abide eternally thereinوَيَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ نَارًا خَالِدًا فِيهَا
[An-Nisa 4:14]
, so encroaching in inheritance and depriving the heirs, or some of them, is encroaching upon the limits of Allah, and there is a severe warning for it. Yes.
