The Meaning of Will
Issue No. 2323- A Will means that a person recommends that after his death certain tasks be completed, and this is called al-waṣīyah al-‘ahdīyah, like directions given about one’s shroud and the burial place and other ceremonies; or a person states in his Will that after his death a part of his properties become the property of a certain person. This is called al-waṣīyah al-tamlīkīyah; or he appoints someone as the legal guardian of his children.
