I  intend to make a will with the conditions that all the property left  over by me after my death shall not be sold or inherited but the rental  income from the properties be distributed between my sons and daughters  in the ratio of 2:1. According to this will, the daughters can benefit  during their lifetime only and the offspring of my sons will be the only  beneficiaries after my sons\u2019 death. Finally in the event there are no  more heirs from the family, the whole property be given for public  cause. Can such a will be made? Is this proposal in accordance with the  Shari\u2018ah? Please advise.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>According  to the Islamic Shari\u2018ah the property of a deceased person has to be  divided among certain relations which include parents and spouses as  well. You have excluded them and also stopped the original benefit from  going to your daughters for the Shari\u2018ah prescribes that they are given a  certain share fully and permanently which cannot be limited to their  life. <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div>You  have also denied the full rights of your children. There are other  complications as well which can hinder the desired results to surface.  Someone has to own the property when you will not be there to own it.  Some board or any person can later decide exactly the opposite of what  you have set for them. You won\u2019t be there to see that your will is  implemented. Therefore, you should not make such a will. It is  unjustified and against the Shari\u2018ah as well. <\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-10<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"5829\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I  wish to establish a special trust for the benefit of my children.
