The answer

If the house is owned by the mother, then her bequest of usufruct is permissible according to the majority of jurists, and its value is considered from one-third of the estate. Whatever exceeds this one-third requires the permission of the heirs. The heirs must execute a confirmed bequest, and whoever alters it is sinful.
