Article 287 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

It is a condition of the bequeathed property that it not exceed one-third. If a person bequeaths more than that, it shall be void except with the heir's approval. If some heirs approve and others do not, it shall take effect in the share of the approving heir but not that of the other. If they approve some of the bequeathed property and reject the rest, it shall be valid as to what they approved and void as to the rest.
Arabic original
يشترط في الموصى به أن لا يكون زائدا على الثلث فإذا أوصى بما زاد عليه بطل إلا مع إجازة الوارث، وإذا أجاز بعضهم دون بعض نفذ في حصة المجيز دون الآخر، وإذا أجازوا في بعض الموصى به وردوا في غيره صح فيما أجازوه وبطل في غيره.
