Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a man bequeaths that his unmarried children be married off from his wealth after his death, which is harsh on the other children whom he married during his life from his wealth, what is the ruling on this bequest?
Answer:
It is not permissible, because it is a bequest to an heir. The one who wants to get married can do so from his inheritance, from his share of the inheritance, and from the wealth he has, including what he takes from the deceased’s partnership. The bequest to him is not valid because it is a bequest to an heir. Yes.
