The answer

If a mother waives her son's debt during her death sickness, it is considered a bequest to an heir and is only valid if the other heirs permit it. However, if the waiver occurs when she is not in her death sickness, and all heirs acknowledge or consent to waiving their right, then there is no obligation on the son. But if the heirs do not acknowledge or consent, then the son must return their shares of the debt.
