Does a father have the right to disinherit his daughter or reduce her share of an inheritance if she has taken money and gold from him and her mother, whether she was truthful in claiming that what she took was for her wedding preparations or not?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A father is not allowed to disinherit his daughter through a will, nor is he allowed to retract the expenses for her wedding preparations if they were customary. However, if it was a gift or an expense exceeding what is customary, he must give the same to his other children, or he may retract what he gifted her if it is still her possession and no one else has developed an interest in it, provided the conditions for retracting a gift to a child are met.
