What is the duty of a granddaughter whose grandfather bequeathed all his property to her without the knowledge of her disobedient mother, and is it permissible for her to take this money?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the grandfather wishes for the ownership of his properties to transfer to his granddaughter after his death, this is considered a will (). A will is only enforceable up to one-third of the estate. Anything exceeding one-third belongs to the heirs. If there are no heirs other than the daughter, then the remaining wealth is hers.
