Bismillāhi Raḥmāni Raḥīm 
Date:   15th Dhul-Hijjah, 1441 A H / 5th August, 2020
Subject:   Al-Farā’id (The Islamic Law of Inheritance) 
Lesson:   76
Topic:  Al-Waṣiyyah (Sharī‘ah-Compliant Will/Bequest): Part 5
Sub-Topic:  Types of Al-Waṣiyyah in Islām
Dear Participants,
Alhamdulillāh, in our previous classes, we have deliberated on the meaning, origin, legal standings and Rules and Conditions guiding Al-Waṣiyyah in Islām. Today Inshā’ Allāh, we are looking at the types of Al-Waṣiyyah as enshrined under Islamic law. According to scholars, Al-Waṣiyyah can be classified as follows: 
i.  Compulsory Bequest (Al-Waṣiyyah Al-Wājibah): This is a bequest that must be made by the testator if he has liabilities to discharge such as given one-third of estate to non-Muslim parents, non-Muslim children, non-Muslim wives and non-Muslim husband or non-Muslim relatives who are all presumed indigents. These are also bequests that can be made as regards someone’s arrangement for burial, or bequeathing one-third of someone’s assets to charitable works if the testator made it obligatory upon himself.
ii.  Permissible Bequest (Al-Waṣiyyah Al-Mandūb): This is a bequest which requests a certain permissible religious acts to be performed on the testator by whomever he chooses. Example of such bequest is writing a Will about certain scholars who should conduct Ṣalāt al-Janāzah after someone’s demise.
iii.  Unlawful Bequest (Al-Waṣiyyah Al-Mahrūm):  This is a form of bequest requesting a forbidden act to be done after the demise of the testator or a bequest made to prejudice the heirs’ portion of the estates or meant to contribute to harām activities.
Inshā’ Allāh we continue in the 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...
