بَابُ الْقَضَاءِ فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ فِي الثُّلُثِ لَا تَتَعَدَّىJudgment Regarding the Will in One-Third Not to Be Exceeded
Hadith 1471B2
قَالَ : وَسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا، يَقُولُ فِي الَّذِي يُوصِي فِي ثُلُثِهِ، فَيَقُولُ لِفُلَانٍ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلِفُلَانٍ كَذَا وَكَذَا يُسَمِّي مَالًا مِنْ مَالِهِ، فَيَقُولُ وَرَثَتُهُ : قَدْ زَادَ عَلَى ثُلُثِهِ : فَإِنَّ الْوَرَثَةَ يُخَيَّرُونَ بَيْنَ أَنْ يُعْطُوا أَهْلَ الْوَصَايَا وَصَايَاهُمْ وَيَأْخُذُوا جَمِيعَ مَالِ الْمَيِّتِ، وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَقْسِمُوا لِأَهْلِ الْوَصَايَا ثُلُثَ مَالِ الْمَيِّتِ فَيُسَلِّمُوا إِلَيْهِمْ ثُلُثَهُ، فَتَكُونُ حُقُوقُهُمْ فِيهِ إِنْ أَرَادُوا بَالِغًا مَا بَلَغَ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a person makes a bequest to several people, and then his heirs claim that the bequest is more than one-third, then the heirs have the choice: either each legatee is given his bequest and the heirs take the rest of the deceased’s estate, or they hand over one-third of the wealth to the legatees, however many they may be, and then divide it among themselves according to their shares.
