The ruling on a father dividing his wealth while he is alive
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, may Allah reward you. This questioner says: What is the ruling if my father divided his wealth while he is alive and well, and may Allah prolong his life, and praise be to Allah for all the sons and daughters, but some of the children were not satisfied with that division?
Answer:
If he divides his wealth or gives to his children and is just among them according to the rules of inheritance, giving the male the share of two females, there is no harm in that. However, it is better that he does not divide his wealth and remains without money, or that he restricts himself; that is the best. But if he divides it with justice, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 2587 , if he divides it with justice, there is no harm even if some are not satisfied, unless he was not just, in which case it is obligatory for him to be just.
