What is the ruling on disinheriting a legitimate son?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
You have not clarified how a man disinherits his son. However, Allah the Almighty has made inheritance a prescribed right concerning wealth. He has clarified the share of each relative, making the male's share double that of the female, and prohibited bequests to an heir. Similarly, it is not permissible to favor some children over others in gifts without a legitimate religious justification.
