The question

The answer

The money left by the deceased is an inheritance to be divided among all his heirs; it is not exclusive to his daughter. The deceased's division of his house between his brother and his wife while he was on his deathbed is considered a will, and a will made in favor of an heir is not valid unless the rest of the heirs approve it, due to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Indeed, Allah has given every rightful person his right, so there is no will for an heir."
