Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second and third questions from Fatwa No. ( 15923 )
Q2: Is it permissible to take one-fourth of the wealth of a deceased person who has wealth and did not make a bequest regarding it, or is it not?
A2: If the deceased did not make a bequest of any of his wealth, then all of it belongs to the heirs after paying off any debts he owed, unless they permit giving the deceased some of the wealth for charitable purposes, or some of them permit it without specifying a certain amount from their share, provided the one permitting is of sound mind, in which case there is no harm.
