The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this person bequeathed one-third of his wealth for the education and marriage of all his sons. Is this bequest to be carried out?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
A man bequeathed one-third of his wealth for the education and marriage of all his sons?
The Shaykh:
If he did not specify any one of them, it is carried out; this bequest is executed. However, his sons are heirs, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "There is no bequest for an heir." One does not combine a bequest with inheritance, so it is an invalid bequest. Yes.
