Question
The deceased left a will which is in total conflict with the Shariah. What is the Shariah's view in this matter? What is the position of the children who refuse to rectify the distribution of the assets?
Answer
A person who leaves a will in conflict with the Shariah, will be encased in a steel coffin and flung into Jahannam, This is Allah's Law. The Shariah states that he will suffer great torment in the grave and in the Aakhirah. Those of the heirs who refuse to rectify the grave error committed by the deceased will also be punished equally. They will be displaying absolutely no sympathy for their marhoom father, and no concern for his plight in the Qabar and in the Aakhirat. They will follow suit into Jahannam.
