Q: Can the wife of the deceased husband take ownership of the inheritance and withhold it from the children if she fears that her children will abandon her if they receive their share so she wants to withhold it till her passing?
A: This is not permissible. Once they reach of age, then the wealth that belongs to them cannot be withheld from them. If she withholds the wealth from them, then she is committing sin and oppression and will be taken to task for this in the Hereafter.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
