Article 288 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

For a bequest to take effect, it is not required that the testator intend it to be from the third that the Lawgiver has allotted to him. Thus, if he bequeaths a specific asset, for example, without attending to that, and it is equal to or less than that amount, the bequest shall be valid.
Arabic original
لا يشترط في نفوذ الوصية قصد الموصي كونها من الثلث الذي جعله الشارع له فإذا أوصى بعين مثلا غير ملتفت إلى ذلك وكانت بقدره أو أقل صحت الوصية.
