Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32823 — Those who said: it is returned

Ibn Tawus said that Tawus did not consider it permissible to make a bequest for anyone other than needy blood relatives (dhawu al-arham). He held that if someone makes a bequest for anyone other than them, the wealth will be taken from those people and given to the blood relatives; and if there are no needy people among the blood relatives, the wealth of the bequest will be distributed among the poor, whoever they may be, even if the testator named the people for whom the bequest was made.
