Topic:  Al-Waṣiyyah (Shariah-Compliant Will/Bequest): Part 2
Sub-Topic: Is Al-Waṣiyyah an Abrogated Institution in Al-Farā’id ? (Lesson 2)
Dear Participants,
In our last lesson, we started a discussion on the legal standing of Al-Waṣiyyah as abrogated or not, and today Inshā’ Allāh we intend to conclude it. On this discourse, majority of Ṣahābah such as  Ibn ‘Umar, Ibn  ‘Abbās,  Ibn Zayd and some scholars believed that the obligation of  Q2:180-82 has been abrogated and replaced with inheritance verses; hence, Al-Waṣiyyah (bequest) remain recommendatory in as much it does not infringe upon the  rights of the legal heirs and does not exceed one-third of the estate.  
Muslim jurists also unanimously agreed that quantum of wealth or property of which a bequest or legacy can be bequeathed with  equity must be an abundant wealth in tandem with various aḥādith in which the Prophet advised the dying Companion  who sought his opinion on what to give out as legacy or bequest. He told him that leaving his heirs wealthy is better than leaving them poor. This was the views of our mother ‘Āishah, Khalīfah Ali bn Abī Ṭālib ,some Sahābah and jurists. It must also be noted that, invariably, according to Islamic law of inheritance, Al-Waṣiyyah’s  provision takes precedence over apportioned shares to be taken by the legal heirs, that is, the fulfillment of Al-Waṣiyyah is one of the preconditions of  al-Mīrāth  to be settled in reference to Allāh’s injunction in Q4 verses 11 and 12 where He says: “……after the payment of legacy (bequest) or debt…..” 
In conclusion, Al-Waṣiyyah is not abrogated but becomes a recommendatory act of inheritance to soothe non-heirs after the death of the testator.  Inshā’ Allāh, lessons on Al-Waṣiyyah as scheduled continues in our next class. 
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...

We intend to look at the validation of Nikkāh as the basic tool that legalizes inheritance between the spouses, the intrigues of inheriting spouses who are non-Muslims, the limitation of spouses’ inheritance power because of non-blood relation as upheld by  Sharī‘ah and so on.  To start with, we as Muslims must know that Nikkāh, that is marriage is a sacred institution sanction by Allah (See Q4:3-5). Its sanctity is...
