What is the ruling on income derived from bequeathed rented properties: Is it to be distributed among all heirs, or does it go to the legatee?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A bequest made to an heir is legally prohibited and does not take effect unless the other heirs consent to it. If there are heirs who do not approve of the bequest, they have the right to receive their full legal share of the bequeathed properties, and their rental income shall be distributed among the heirs according to Islamic law.
