Are the gold bracelets that the wife bequeathed to her six daughters before her death, and which her husband hid, claiming to have sold them and spent the money on the funeral, considered part of the inheritance after his death and the discovery that they were not sold, or is the wife's bequest to distribute them among her daughters to be carried out?

The bracelets are to be divided among the woman's heirs according to Islamic law. Her deceased husband receives a quarter of them, and his share passes to his heirs. The bracelets do not belong to her daughters because a bequest to an heir is forbidden by Islamic law, unless the other heirs permit it.
