The answer

The heirs must carry out their mother's will to wash her in her eldest son's house and to give out a portion of her wealth not exceeding one-third, as long as she willed it before her death. As for a will that comes after death, such as a dream, it is not obligatory to carry it out. You should explain this difference to your siblings so they may execute the obligatory will, for this is a part of showing devotion to their mother.
