Is it permissible to register a house as a charity (sadaqah) for one of the heirs?
If the intention behind registering the house to an heir is for them to own it after death, then this is a bequest to an heir, which is not permissible in Islamic law. However, if the intention is a gift (atiyah) or a donation () during one's lifetime, it is permissible for non-children, provided there is no intention to harm the other heirs. As for children, it is not permissible to give a gift to one of them without the others; justice must be observed among them. If one gives a gift to all their children with justice, or to their only child, then the gift is permissible and valid, provided there is no intention to harm the other heirs, and that the gift is executed immediately, allowing the recipient to take possession at once.
