The necessity of a Will

The discussion emphasises the Islamic obligation of having a will, as instructed by Allah and supported by the teachings of the Prophet. A will ensures that a Muslim's assets, debts, and obligations are distributed according to Islamic principles rather than secular intestacy laws. It is mandatory for every adult Muslim to create a will, akin to fulfilling the pillars of Islam.

It highlights that wills address more than just assets, including guardianship for children, health care decisions, burial preferences, and other end-of-life considerations. End-of-life planning involves documenting personal wishes, ensuring Islamic obligations are met, and reducing uncertainties for the family. By legally recording these plans, Muslims fulfil their religious duties while easing logistical and emotional burdens on their families.
