What are the Qur’anic verses and Hadiths that can be recited to a person who wishes to disinherit some of his children, and what is the authenticity of the saying, "Whoever disinherits an heir from his inheritance, Allah will disinherit him from His Paradise"?
It is not permissible to deprive any heir of what Allah has ordained for them, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever cuts off an inheritance..." and "Whoever flees from the inheritance of his heir, Allah will cut off his inheritance from Paradise on the Day of Resurrection." Furthermore, a man or woman might perform acts of obedience to Allah for seventy years, then death approaches them, and they cause harm in their will, thus making Hellfire obligatory for them, in affirmation of the Almighty's saying: "from after a will is bequeathed or a debt, without causing harm; a bequest from Allah." It is obligatory to advise anyone who does this and remind them of Allah and the consequence of their action, and that inheritances are among the matters that Allah Himself has divided, and that whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger will be admitted to Gardens, and whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and transgresses His limits will be admitted to the Fire. The hadith mentioned in the question is not authentic, and other hadiths are weak, but it is permissible to act upon a weak hadith concerning virtuous deeds for the purpose of deterrence.
