Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it better for one who has an estate or wealth to divide it among his sons during his lifetime and before his death?
Answer:
This is permissible if he treats them equally according to the prescribed shares, where the male receives the share of two females. He may do this, but it is better that he does not. It is better that he holds onto his wealth and benefits from it for the duration of his life. Then, when he dies, they will divide it according to the Book of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
