The Ruling on the Deceased's Disposition of His Private Wealth
A sane man donated 130,000 dinars to a charity during his lifetime without his children's knowledge. Some of his relatives learned about it by chance, and some of his sons and daughters are poor and accept people's charity. How should these children act, given that they have nothing left from the inheritance?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: A sane adult can dispose of his money as he wishes, and no one can prevent him from spending his money on any cause. While he is alive, they can only offer him kind words and good advice to keep some of his wealth for his heirs. And God knows best.
