Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. This says: A man gifted a building to his wife from his pure wealth, and he has a father.
The Shaykh : ... and he has?
The questioner : And he has a father. Does this gift take effect in the event of the wife's death, or in the event of the husband's death, or does it become part of the estate and be divided among the heirs?
The Shaykh : If the husband gifted this building to his wife during his terminal illness, its ruling is the ruling of inheritance, meaning the gift is not valid. This is because the husband is one of the heirs, and a gift to an heir during a terminal illness is void, unless the heirs approve it after death. However, if he gifted it to his wife while he was in good health, the gift is valid and does not enter into the inheritance. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. He asks: What is the ruling on hanging amulets?
The Shaykh : Do not touch it, do not touch it, and may your foot be broken from it. Yes.
