My husband was away for four months and during his absence I went to the court and gave up my right to my share of my father’s estate willingly. My husband objected to that because before my father died he bought a piece of land from him, but the transfer of title was not done officially, and he is afraid that my brothers will deny him his rights. Am I wrong?.<\/p>","answer":"
A woman has the right to dispose of her wealth however she wants, if she is mature and knows what she is doing. This is the view of the majority of scholars. <\/p>\r\n
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: <\/p>\r\n
The apparent meaning of what al-Khuraqi said is that a woman who is mature and knows what she is doing has the right to dispose of all her wealth, by giving it in charity or by buying and selling. This is one of the two views that were narrated from Ahmad, and this is also the view of Abu Haneefah, al-Shaafa’i and Ibn al-Mundhir. There is another view narrated from Ahmad, which is that she does not have the right to dispose of more than one-third of her wealth for nothing in return, except with her husband’s permission. This is also the view of Maalik. <\/p>\r\n
