Is it permissible for a poor daughter, who inherited the house and whose father passed away leaving five daughters and two sons, to take from the quarter of the wealth and property bequeathed for charitable deeds, given that she does not possess what would enable her to pay her brothers' and sisters' shares?

The testator's daughter is not entitled to take anything from the money her father bequeathed for charitable acts, because she is an heir. Jurists have stipulated that if one bequeaths money as charity, it is not permissible to disburse it to any of his heirs, whether the heir is poor or rich.
