Q 1:
A lonely and old woman owns a house and she wants to bequeath it to the sons of her maternal brother, bearing in mind (Part No. 16; Page No. 307) that she has paternal brothers. Who are most entitled to this bequest?
Please advise, may Allah reward you!
A:
It is permissible to bequeath to a non-inheritor up to one-third of one's wealth. If a will specifies more than this portion, the matter should be referred to the competent inheritors because it will be taken from their shares. If they agree, this is all right; if not, it should not be executed. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
