No bar on your mother to dispose of her genuinely inherited property in any manner she likes.
Even she can change her will in favour of someone else any time during her life time, as per the Sharia Law.
But you have not stated, whether your mother is dead or still alive and how you have come across the will, if she is still alive?

The law on Muslim wills is different from the law governing wills made by Hindus or those made under Indian Succession Act, 1925. This is because, under Muslim Law, testamentary disposition of property is considered to be divine in nature and draws on the Muslim Personal Laws.

According to the Sharia law, a person can only leave one-third of their property to anyone they wish. The remaining two-thirds will, by law, go to their heir or heirs, equally shared between them. So, your mother can write a WILL only 1/3rd share of the property.

The Muslim law allows an individual with heirs to distribute only one-third of his wealth through a will. The rest two-thirds of the wealth is inherited according to the religious laws. The limitation does not apply if the heirs give their consent.

IF other 6 legal heirs consent to their share through relinquishment deed going to these two brother siblings then your . Mother's will gets valid.Otherwise the will is legally invalid.
