The acknowledgment by a (terminally) ill person in favor of non-inheritors is valid, but one in favor of an heir is not valid unless the other heirs concur. If he acknowledges (a right) in favor of an heir who later becomes a non-inheritor, the acknowledgment is not valid. However, if he acknowledges (a right) in favor of a non-inheritor who later becomes an heir, the acknowledgment is valid. 1767 His acknowledgment of an heir is valid. 1768
وَيَصِحُّ إِقْرَارُ الْمَرِيْضُ بِالدَّيْنِ لِأَجْنَبِيٍّ، وَلاَ يَصِحُّ إِقْرَارُهُ فِيْ مَرَضِ اْلمَوْتِ لِوَارِثٍ، إِلاَّ بِتَصْدِيْقِ سَائِرِ اْلوَرَثَةِ، وَلَوْ أَقَرَّ لِوَارِثٍ، فَصَارَ غَيْرَ وَارِثٍ، لَمْ يَصِحَّ، وَإِنْ أَقَرَّ لَهُ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ وَارِثٍ، ثُمَّ صَارَ وَارِثاً، صَحَّ إِقْرَارُهُ، وَيَصِحَّ إِقْرَارُهُ بِوَارِثٍ.
