Question:
Salih al-Yahya from Dammam says: A man gave his son a sum of money without giving to his brothers, and told him, "If you do not repay this amount, it will be deducted from your inheritance from me," meaning that if he dies, it will be deducted from his share of the inheritance. What is the validity of this?
Answer:
No, this bequest is not valid. However, he should be asked to repay it; he should pay it back, and he should not be singled out over his brothers. He should be asked to repay the loan he acknowledged. Yes.
