The Shaykh : What is the meaning of?
The student: To donate something after his death.
The Shaykh : Either to a general entity, such as mosques, or to a specific person, such as Zayd or 'Amr.
The Shaykh : And what is a debt?

The Shaykh : Between the bequest and the debt, which takes precedence?
The student: The debt takes precedence over the bequest.
The Shaykh : What is the evidence?
The student: The statement of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) paid the debt before the bequest.
The Shaykh : What is the evidence that a bequest to an heir is not valid?
The student: The evidence is the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Then Allah specified the inheritance shares, and then He said: [Al-Baqarah 2:229].
Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females. But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of one's estate. And if there is only one, for her is half. And for one's parents, to each one of them is a sixth of his estate if he left children. But if he had no children and the parents [alone] inherit from him, then for his mother is one third. And if he had brothers [or sisters], for his mother is a sixth, after any bequest he [may have] made or debt. Your parents or your children - you know not which of them are nearest to you in benefit. [These shares are] an obligation [imposed] by Allah. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.
