Question
My mother wishes to give all her assets – her entire estate – to her daughters. She has no sons. She does not want her brothers and sisters to inherit. Is this permissible?
Answer
Your mother's intention for her desire to give her assets to her daughters is unholy and sinful. Her intention to deprive those whom Allah Ta'ala has designated to be heirs is like declaring war against Allah Ta'ala. May Allah Ta'ala save us from the evil of our nafs and the plots of shaitaan. Allah Ta'ala is our Creator. He knows best who have to inherit. It is not permissible to interfere with Allah's Law and then meet Him in a state of Wrath. Try to convince your mother that she should not leave this miserable world with Allah's Curse on her head. Does she want to meet Allah Ta'ala in the state of Divine Wrath?
