Is it necessary to have a will stipulating one-third of the wealth for charity notarized in court and renewed annually, and what is the share of the wife and the only daughter from the inheritance?

A will is for a person to bequeath an asset, a debt, or a usufruct to another, and the legatee owns it after the death of the testator. It is legislated and recommended for anyone who possesses wealth. There is no objection to the questioner writing his will, and authenticating it in courts is better to avoid disputes. It does not need renewal if authenticated, and it is executed if he dies before revoking it.

After the will is executed (up to a maximum of one-third), the wife takes one-eighth due to the presence of a daughter, as per the Almighty's saying: "But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." The daughter takes half of the wealth, and the remainder goes to the 'asabah (agnatic relatives) if they exist. The matter of inheritances is serious and complex, and a mere fatwa is insufficient. Rather, it must be referred to Sharia courts for investigation and to ensure the rights of heirs, creditors, and bequests. Therefore, do not distribute the inheritance without consulting Sharia courts.
