Q: My father passed away recently. We are 7 siblings and 1 half sibling from my dad's previous marriage. My dad had bequeathed verbally that his car should be sold and the money should be used in building a musjid. My dad also bequeathed verbally that he has 50000 rands aside for his two daughters marriages and this money should be split between the two. My dad had income coming in from a rental property as well. And finally he has a paid house that my brother contributed to it. How is all this distributed? Can the verbal bequeath be accepted? Do gifts / bequeaths have to be only from his 1/3 of the total property? Is gifts and bequeaths separate? Do we have to first to subtract all the funeral expenses,debts fidya then distribute? I understand this should be done from the 1/3. Is this correct? How is the rental property going to be distributed?

Q: A popular non-Muslim bookshop is selling a single, second hand copy of a Qadiani book, "The True Islam." I fear that perhaps an un-wary Muslim, or a non-Muslim may purchase this deviated book.

(1) Would it be a good idea for me to purchase this kitaab for the express purpose of disposing it?

(2) Since deviated literature also contains the Name of Allah Ta'ala and Ayaats of the Quraan, it cannot be thrown in the garbage. This would apply to the deviated Modernist, Salafi, Berelwi, Shiah and distorted non-Muslim works on Islam as well. Like the Yusuf Ali Translation of the Quraan. How should such literature be destroyed?
