Subject of Will and its Validity | Muslim Law | in Hindi

Here I have discussed about the subject of will and its validity under muslim law with detailed explanation. #SubjectOfWill #WillUnderMuslimLaw #MuslimLawLectures #MuslimLawLecturesInHindi Conventionally, a Will, also called ‘testament’ is an implement which enables a person to dispose of his own property to someone whom he wants to give after his death. A Will comes into effect only after the death of the person who created the Will. A Will is a legal declaration of transfer of property by a person after his death. In Islamic law, a Will executed by a Muslim is known as ‘Wasiyat’. The person who executes the Will is called ‘legator’ or ‘testator’ and the person in whose favour the Will is made is known as ‘legatee’ or ‘testatrix’. A very famous Muslim scholar ‘Ameer Ali’ defined a Will from the point of view of Mussalman as a divine institution because its exercise is regulated by the Holy Quran. At the same time, Prophet had proclaimed that such testamentary powers must not exert any damage to the lawful heirs. There is a strict rule in Islamic law that governs the validity of a Will. According to this rule, a Muslim can make a Will in favour of anyone, only to the extent of one-third of his total property. If the Will is made beyond one-third of the property, the consent of the legal heirs is mandatory no matter in whose favour the Will is made. It can be hypothesized that a Will is a kind of gratuitous transfer of ownership made through a testamentary document which comes into play after the death of the legator. As far as the legal concept of Will is concerned, basically it is a gift testamentary. Essentials of a valid Will Please Like, Share and Subscribe for more!!!!
