How can I distribute the 100,000 Syrian Pounds bequeathed by my father, and when is the best time for that, knowing that he left 100,000 Syrian Pounds before his death, and a house worth two million Pounds, and he has four daughters and four sons, one of whom is a young, married, unemployed man, and three married daughters?

A will is the donation of money after death, and it is recommended within the limits of one-third, and it is executed before the division of the inheritance. If the will exceeds one-third, the excess depends on the approval of the heirs. If the testator specified a particular beneficiary for his will, it is spent for that beneficiary. If he did not specify it, or said: "for the sake of Allah" or "in the way of Allah," it is spent on acts of righteousness and charity, such as giving to the poor, building mosques, and establishing educational institutions. The execution of the will must be expedited.
