Is it permissible for a father to disinherit his disobedient and corrupt children, or to favor some children over others in giving, or to bequeath his house to children who are Muslim in name only?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A bequest to an heir is not valid. If a deceased person makes a bequest to one of their heirs, this bequest is not executed unless the other heirs consent. And whoever informed his father that this is not permissible, then he is a sincere and benevolent advisor, [even if] he did not adhere to gentleness and proper manners in addressing and advising his father.
