Question:
He says: What is the ruling on a bequest if the bequest is for someone who uses the bequeathed money in sins?
Answer:
It is not permissible to make a bequest to a person one knows will use it in sins; this is forbidden, because this is aiding in sin. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] So if he knows, or it is most likely in his opinion, that the beneficiary will use it in what is forbidden, then it is not permissible for him to do so, and he has no reward; rather, he is sinful. Yes.
