Does a husband inherit his deceased wife's jewelry and clothes, and is it permissible for the wife's daughters to dispose of some of the clothes that they do not inherit?
Your father inherits from his deceased wife all that she left, and none of the heirs has the right to prevent him from doing so. For all that the deceased owned becomes the property of the heirs, who may dispose of it according to their opinion if they are adults. And if the deceased had bequeathed some of her clothes for charity, then this will is to be executed if it is within one-third of the estate. In case of a dispute among the heirs, the matter should be referred to the Sharia court. However, if the deceased did not bequeath anything, her property may not be disposed of before it is divided among the heirs.
