Is it permissible for the wife to take her mother’s bequest of gold after her husband told her: "If you take anything, you are forbidden to me," meaning money, and can she relinquish her share of the inheritance to her children, or relinquish the bequest?

A will made in favor of an heir is not valid unless all adult and sane heirs approve it. Therefore, the woman has no right to the gold bequeathed unless the heirs consent. As for her inheritance, it is her right to dispose of as she wishes. Regarding the husband's oath to forbid his wife, what matters is his intention. If he intended to forbid only money, he does not break his oath with anything else. In the event of breaking the oath, if he intended divorce, it is a divorce; if he intended ẓihār, it is ẓihār; and if he intended an oath or did not intend anything specific, it is an oath that requires expiation by feeding or clothing ten poor people. The husband should consult scholars directly to inquire about his intention. It must be noted that the lawful oath is swearing by Allah Almighty, and swearing by divorce or forbidding is unlawful.
