Is it permissible for the questioner to increase his monthly expenses from his deceased father's inheritance beyond the one thousand pounds his father stipulated for him before his death, especially with the rising prices and his study circumstances, or is he obligated to limit himself to the specified amount, or should he agree with the heirs on a new amount, and what portion of the money is permissible for him before the division of the inheritance?

The father's permission to take from his wealth becomes void upon his death, and the ownership of the wealth transfers to the heirs. It is not permissible to take from it without their permission and consent.

Therefore, whatever was taken from the estate after the father's death must be returned, or it should be counted against the share of the one who took it. If what was taken exceeds the share, the excess must be returned, unless the mature heirs absolve him from it.

And the appointment of heirs to manage property affairs for a fee requires an agreement with them on that matter.
