I want to bequeath a fifth of my property to my young grandchildren whose father passed away and they are young

Q: I want to bequeath a fifth of my property to my young grandchildren whose father passed away and they are young. I hope you will give me Fatwa (legal opinion issued by qualified Muslim scholar) on this matter.


A: It is permissible for you to bequeath to your grandchildren, whose father died, a third or less of your property, because they are not your inheritors. Thus, there is no prohibition on this. (Part No. 11; Page No. 276) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
