Wasiyyah - Islamic will
What is an Islamic will?
An Islamic will is a legally-binding document that stipulates to whom a person will be leaving their assets (property, possessions, money) to upon their return to Allah (SWT).
This will take into account two groups of people:
Ascendants: Including your spouse (husband/wife) and parents
Descendants: Your children, grandchildren, and siblings (full siblings and half-siblings)
A will can also include bequests for charitable purposes.
Meaning of Wasiyyah in Islam
Wasiyyah or Wasiya in Islam is the declaration a person makes whilst alive regarding their property and the arrangements according to Islamic law to be carried out after their death.
What is the law for wills in Islam?
In Islam, a will must be made by the person whilst they are alive. A will is made for the purposes of arranging ones property and assets, after their death, for the benefit of others or for charitable purposes.
“It is the duty of a Muslim who has anything to bequeath not to let two nights pass without writing a will about it.” (Bukhari)
Therefore writing Islamic wills is incredibly important in an Islamic context.
