Is it permissible to change a bequest?

Question:
Ahmad is with us on the line, go ahead, Ahmad. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace. Peace and mercy. May Allah give you a good evening. Welcome. I have my mother, and I am listening to a piece of land that is rented out. Okay, move away a bit. Is it a need or something? I don’t know what to do with it. Its rent goes to my first [child], I haven’t received anything from it. And we don’t spend on it in any way. Because we can’t. Unless we ask the Shaykh or get the news from him. So we sell it and do good with it. Or we leave it as it is, and its rent goes to it. So I want, uh, uh, uh, I mean, an explanation on this matter, and may Allah keep you safe.

Answer:
My brother, you carry out the work of the one who made the bequest; you carry out what the one who made the bequest willed. This is the default, and this is the obligatory. And if there is a reason to change the bequest, you must go back to the judge in the court. You present the bequest to him and you present the problem to him, and he will, if Allah wills, guide you to what is most beneficial for you and for the deceased. Yes.
