A.Dear Client,
A husband (in the case of succession to the wife's estate) takes a half share in a case where the couple is without lineal descendants, and a one-fourth share otherwise. A sole daughter takes a half share. Where the deceased has left behind more than one daughter, all daughters jointly take two-thirds. Therefore a Muslim women can dispose off her share only.
Thankyou

A.Dear Client,
As per the provisions of Muslim law, a woman's share in the property of her deceased husband is one-fourth which lay down to one-eighth in the case of children. So, a Muslim widow can dispose of her share only.
