Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the legatee does not accept the bequest, and the testator has died, does the legatee have the right to appoint someone in his place, or does he refer the matter to the judge?
Answer:
No, if he did not accept the bequest, he refers it to the judge, and his presence is like his absence. The judge appoints an agent in his place, and he does not have the right to appoint another in his place. Yes.
