Bequeathing the entire estate to one person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a person to bequeath, after his death, that all his wealth be given to another person?

Answer:
It is not his wealth to give. When he dies, it is not his wealth to give; it belongs to the heirs. It passes to the heirs. Yes.
