Depriving in will
It is an injustice not to include in the will some or all the heirs such that they stand to lose their lawful share. The Tafsīr of Qummi explains the verse,
“Whoever then alters it after he has heard it, the sin of it then is only upon those who alter it; Surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.”
(Surah al-Baqarah 2: 181)
Regarding this ayat Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) says,
“‘Haif’ in will is that one bestows more on some heirs and deprives others and ‘Ithm’ (sin) denotes preparing place of worship or to give order to prepare intoxicant (meaning will for unlawful activities).”
In the above two cases the legatee should disregard the instructions.
