The Ruling on Executing the Deceased's Will
A woman’s husband passed away, and he had two separate houses. He registered the first house in her name and informed her that the other house belongs to his brothers, so they are his heirs, as he has no children. However, he did not register the house in their names. Is the wife entitled to take her share of the inheritance from the second house or not?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is preferable for her to leave it to the brothers, acting upon what her husband said, even though she may claim her right to it, as long as the house is not registered in their names. And God knows best.
