Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The waiver mentioned before the death of the inheritee is not considered valid, and the heir has the right to take his share that he waived. He may waive it after the death of his inheritee if he is an adult and of sound mind. This waiver is considered a gift, and its validity is subject to the conditions required for a gift.
