What is the ruling on the stepmother's disposal of the father's money and assets while he is afflicted with Alzheimer's, and her appointing herself as guardian over everyone?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The stepmother or any of his other children or wives do not have authority over the husband's wealth without a judge's ruling. It is the judge who appoints a guardian to manage the father's wealth in a way that serves the best interests of the interdicted person, both presently and in the future.
