Is it permissible for a mother to bequeath an apartment she owns to her only daughter, given the existence of other relatives of the deceased?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Alimony is obligatory for the wife from her husband unless she becomes disobedient (nashiz). A bequest to an heir is not valid unless approved by the other heirs. It is not permissible to favor some children over others in gifts unless there is a legitimate reason.
