Wasiyyat

Wasiyyat is an Islamic legal term referring to a voluntary statement or will made by a Muslim before their death, dictating how their property and assets should be distributed after passing away. It allows individuals to allocate up to one-third of their estate to specific beneficiaries or causes, which may include relatives, charities, or others not automatically entitled by Islamic inheritance laws. Wasiyyat ensures personal wishes are honored while adhering to Islamic rules. It is an important aspect of estate planning, helping to provide clarity and fairness for heirs and beneficiaries after death.
