The ruling on selling one's house to his wife or daughter in a nominal sale

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a person, before he dies, to sell his house to his wife or daughter in a nominal sale so that they receive the entire inheritance?

Answer:
This is not permissible; it is a ruse. If a person falls into the illness of death, he is restricted from disposing of his property in order to preserve the wealth for the heirs; he may not dispose of his property while in a fatal illness. Yes.
