What is the ruling on not carrying out a deceased person's will to prevent his daughter from entering upon him after his death, and what is the position of his daughter whose father died angry with her?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Part of the complete righteousness of children towards their parents is to execute their will after death, so long as it does not involve sin, severing ties of kinship, or violating Islamic law. The father's will forbidding his daughter or son from visiting his grave after his death is not to be executed because it entails an excessive severing of kinship ties and a violation of Allah's law, and it does not result in any benefit. Therefore, the daughter should frequently supplicate for her father, seek forgiveness for him, give charity on his behalf, and maintain ties with her relatives.
