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?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
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.
