Dividing property equally among children during one's lifetime
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it permissible for me to divide my property equally among my children while I am still alive, out of fear that my son might take his sister's share after I die?
Answer:
If he takes it after I die, there is nothing on you; it is not a debt on you. His sister has the courts, and, if Allah wills, she will take her right. So I see that he should leave the matter to Allah the Exalted and not burden himself. He should dispose of his property as he sees fit while he is alive, being generous with it, and after death, he should entrust all matters to Allah the Exalted. Yes.
