Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters, who indicated her name as the mother of 'Abd al-Majid from Dammam, says that her mother had an inheritance from her father, which she renounced in favor of her brother. Do the children have the right to object and prevent this?
Answer:
No, they do not have the right to prevent that, because a person disposes of his wealth as he sees fit, unless there is a defect in her intellect or in her conduct such that she is under a legal interdiction; in that case, they may object. But if she is not under a legal interdiction by Shari'ah, she disposes of it as she wishes. Yes.
