Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I borrowed a sum of ten thousand riyals from my grandmother. She told me that when the full amount is in my possession, I should not return it to her, but rather make it a continuous charity. Then my grandmother passed away, and the amount is now in my possession. Should I carry out her bequest or return the money to the heirs?
Answer:
If the heirs permit it, then carry out her bequest. If they do not permit it, the money belongs to the heirs. Yes.
