Is it permissible for a mother to bequeath all her wealth to her daughters, or must she allocate a portion of her wealth to her deceased brother's children to prevent God's wrath from descending upon her?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Bequesting money to an heir is not permissible, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There is no bequest for an heir."

However, giving money as a gift to daughters while the giver is in good health is permissible.
