 Bismillāhi Rahmāni Rahīm 
You are welcome to today's class on inheritance law in Islām.
Date:   4th Rajab, 1441 A H /  28th February, 2020
Series 2:   Al-Farā’id (The Islamic Law of Inheritance): The Theories  
Lesson:   54
Topic:  Writing a Shari ‘ah-Compliant Will as a Muslim in non-Islamic State (The Concluding Part)
Dear Participants, we have been able to concisely analyzed the intrigues of writing a Shari ‘ah-Compliant Will which would be admissible in the Courts for those Muslims living in non-Islamic State. Once the Wasiyyah is written, we need to engage the services of Muslim lawyers who are conversant with both Islamic and Common law provision. He would then scrutinize the testament of our Wills and lead us to the Probate registry of the State High Court where we reside.
At the probate registry, your Will would be registered and scrutinized. Your lawyer as your attorney is obliged to fill and file the probate form of depositing your Will on your behalf in your presence. The Probate registrar has the legal obligations to admit your Will into the Probate Registry and ask you to sign for the deposit. A certified true copies of the Will endorsed with the Probate Seal of the High Court would be given to YOU (As Testator and Will Depositor) while you can duplicate such certified copy to be given to your lawyer and your chosen witnesses. 
At this juncture, we should not forget what we said at the beginning of this lesson. The  Islamic Will does not devolve your properties but only gives out one-third of your estates as wasiyyah to some beneficiaries excluding your rightful heirs according to your wish once it’s not anti-Islamic. It only include your pronouncement as the testament of the Will saying “I, ………..  pronounced that my Estate MUST be devolved after my demise according to the provision of Islamic Inheritance Law as enshrined in the Qur’ān and Sunnah”.  May Almighty Allah guide us aright.
Jazākumullāhu Khayran for reading today’s lesson. 
Yours in Islām

Inheritance of a Missing Person under Islamic Law by Abu Aisha (Part 2)

Bismillāhi Rahmāni Rahīm  Date:   21st Rajab, 1441 A H / 16th March, 2020 Series 2:   Al-Farā’id (The Islamic Law of Inheritance): The Theories   Lesson:   56 Topic: Inheritance of the Missing Heir (Mīrāth Al-Mafqūd): Part 2   You are welcome to today's class on inheritance law in Islām!!! In our last class, we defined who Al-Mafqūd is. He or she is someone whose whereabouts are unknown and it is not certain whether he or she is alive or dead. We also said that there are a lot of contentious debates among the four schools of thought and various jurists as regard whether the missing person can be a beneficiary of estate devolution as a potential heir or would he or she be inherited in absence by his legal heirs.  In solving these questions, the scholars propounded verdicts on the waiting period, Al-Mafqūd’s shares as heir, appearance of Al-Mafqūd and the Iddah of Al-Mafqūd’s wife/wives. However, due to limited space, we shall be discussing the verdicts one after the other: Waiting P

Similarities and Differences between Al-wasiyyah and Common law Will (Part 3)

Bismillāhi Raḥmāni Raḥīm  Date:  7th Muharram, 1442 A H /  26th August, 2020 Subject:   Al-Farā’id (The Islamic Law of Inheritance)  Lesson:   81 Topic:  Al-Waṣiyyah (Sharī‘ah-Compliant Will/Bequest): Part 7 Sub-Topic:  Similarities and Differences of Al-Waṣiyyah (Bequest) and Common Law Will (Lesson 3) Dear Participants, In our last class, we enumerated some similarities between Al-Wasiyyah and the Common law Will. Today,  Inshā Allāh, we are looking at the differences between the two and what distinguished the former from the latter as the most appropriate method of writing Will in term of content, application and appropriateness. In nutshell, some of the differences between the two are: 1. Al-Wasiyyah was divinely promulgated by Allah (See Q2: 180-182); hence, its uniformity while the Common  law Will world over was a product of man’s discretion; hence its discrepancy from a county to the other. 2. The maximum bequeathal a Muslim (Testator) can give out as testamentary disposition (
