English
Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say in his sermon during the Farewell Pilgrimage: Allah has given every rightful person their right, so there is no bequest for an heir. [Narrated by Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah] Tirmidhi added: The child belongs to the bed, and for the fornicator is the stone, and their reckoning is with Allah. Ad-Daraqutni narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: A bequest to an heir is not valid unless the heirs consent. In another narration by him from Amr ibn Shu’ayb, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: There is no bequest for an heir unless the heirs approve.
