Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I have a large sum of money, and this sum belonged to my father, who has passed away (may Allah have mercy on him). I want to use this money for a charitable project. Should I build a mosque with it? Or should I say, I have a large sum of money, and this sum belonged to my father, who has passed away (may Allah have mercy on him), and I want to use this money for a charitable project. Should I build a mosque with it, or donate this sum for the benefit of the mujahideen in Chechnya, especially since they are in dire need?
Answer:
If this sum is a bequest of one-third or less, you must execute it according to what he bequeathed. We are on the east side of Mosul. Do not execute it according to your desire or your independent legal reasoning, but execute it according to the condition of the bequeather. However, if this money is not a bequest, and the deceased left it without a bequest, and the event of inheritance has occurred, it is not permissible to dispose of it at all? This belongs to the heirs of the deceased, if they divide it according to the Book of Allah the Exalted.
