The Executor of the Will must Correct the Possible Violation of the Law in the Will
1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ رِجَالِهِ قَالَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَطْلَقَ لِلْمُوصَى إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُغَيِّرَ الْوَصِيَّةَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَكَانَ فِيهَا حَيْفٌ وَيَرُدَّهَا إِلَى الْمَعْرُوفِ لِقَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَمَنْ خافَ مِنْ مُوصٍ جَنَفاً أَوْ إِثْماً فَأَصْلَحَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَلا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from his people who have said the following: “He (the Imam) عليه السلام, has said that Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has given permission to the executor of the will to change a will into an acceptable form if any violation of the law exists in it. It is because of the meaning of the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious. ‘One who is afraid of the testator’s deviations and sin and settles the matter among the parties involved, he has not committed a sin. Allah is All-forgiving and All-merciful. 5 ” (2:182)
