What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding a father registering his trucks in the name of his female cousin's son instead of his own male children?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no blame upon your father for registering cars in the name of whomever he wishes. If he intended a gift (hiba), then it should be examined whether it occurred during a life-threatening illness or not, and whether possession was transferred or not. If he intended a bequest (wasiyya), then it is permissible within the limits of one-third (of the estate). However, if he intended another permissible purpose besides a gift or a bequest, then there is no blame, provided that measures are taken to safeguard the rights of the heirs.
