The Ruling on the Agent Eating from the Sacrifice

Question
My mother gave me an amount of money before her death to distribute as charity and also to sacrifice from it. Is it permissible for me to eat from the sacrifice? Knowing that my siblings are not aware of this amount?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: This money is to be inherited by all, and it is not permissible for her to leave it with you, except if it is one-third of the inheritance or less, then your mother's will regarding it is valid; because a will is not valid for more than one-third. In that case, you must adhere to what she asked you to do, and it is permissible for you to eat from the sacrifice, as it is permissible to eat from it for the poor and the rich, the close and the distant. And God knows best.
