The Importance of Wills in Islam

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of wills and how it has been prescribed for Muslims.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Malik b. Mighwal with the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of words. In the hadith related by Waki (the words are)" I said: How the people have been ordered about the will" ; and in the hadith of Ibn Numair (the words are):" How the will has been prescribed for the Muslims, '.
وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ ‏.‏ مِثْلَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِي حَدِيثِ وَكِيعٍ قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ أُمِرَ النَّاسُ بِالْوَصِيَّةِ وَفِي حَدِيثِ ابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ كُتِبَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْوَصِيَّةُ.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith talks about the importance of wills in Islam. A will is a document that states what a person wants to happen to their possessions after they die. It is important for all Muslims to make a will as it has been prescribed by Allah and His Messenger ﷺ. Making a will ensures that one's possessions are distributed according to their wishes after they pass away and can help prevent disputes between family members or friends over who gets what. It also helps ensure that one's wealth is used in accordance with Islamic teachings, such as giving charity or helping those in need. Furthermore, making a will can be seen as an act of worship since it shows obedience to Allah's commands and trust in Him for providing sustenance even after death. Therefore, all Muslims should make sure they have made a valid will before passing away so that their wishes are fulfilled according to Islamic teachings and laws.
