Abstract:
The will is an ancient term but Islam has brought forth a number of conditions concerning it which did not exist before. Money owner used to give some of his money as a will to some people while depriving others from that money. Therefore, the will did not have any value until the emergence of Islam which approved it and its conditions.
The will IS executed only after the testator has died so that reward is achieved.
The will is imposed because of its importance and the fact that people really need it in order to bridge the gap of the poor and the wretched. God has ordered that the will does not include the inheritor so that he/she does not take from the deceased's money twice. Also, it's God's wisdom not to allow any will to exceed one-third so as to save the right of the inheritors.
Islam also approved the will regarding the deceased's children who have lost their supporter after their father's death. Islam was a pioneer in taking care of orphan children who are to take their share from their father's inheritance if he is alive providing that it does not exceed one-third.
