Depriving Wealthy Heirs
Question
An individual has passed away leaving behind 1 wife, 3 daughters and 2 brothers.
Can the brothers be overlooked in this scenario as they are really well-off and rich?
Answer
No, they cannot be deprived of their rightful share. If they do, however, gift their share of their own accord, it will be permissible.
