Preparing one's will according to Shariah
Question
I need to do my will but do not know what percentage the distribution should be. I am married, have 1 son and 2 daughters and a mother. Also with regards to my property, my husband has said that I can leave his share to the children. Is this allowed in my will?
Answer
The shares are already stipulated in the shariah. The husband has a stipulated share. You cannot cancel this nor can he cancel it in your lifetime.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
