Bequeathing money to a young son for his marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for a father to bequeath money to his young son for his marriage, just as he did for his brothers?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible. Marriage is a right for one who has reached the age and needs to get married. One who needs to get married is provided for, but one who has not reached the age of marriage has no right against his father, because he does not yet need it. And it is not permissible to bequeath to him, because this is a gift to some of the heirs or a bequest to an heir. A bequest to an heir is not permissible. Yes.
