Inheritance of the Wife's Daughter
What is the ruling for a widow after her husband's death and the distribution of inheritance? If she has no children, can she give her share of her husband's inheritance to her husband's daughter? Does this mean she has deprived her own heirs, such as brothers and sisters, from that inheritance (the wife says this is her father's money and she does not want anyone to share it with her after her death)?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: It is a right for the wife, and she is not required to give it to the husband's daughter. However, if she chooses to do so, it is permissible, but she should be cautious of her children disliking her because of that. And God knows best.
