مقاصد الشريعة في الوصية : شركة الصالح ين ترستي أنموذجا

الملخص EN

Will (waÎiyyah) is a gift of property or a gift of the benefits of property which is established after the death of the testator.

It is valid irrespective of it being made in a state of health or during the final illness.

It was well known before Islam, but Islam introduced conditions for it, which did not exist in the past.

In the pre-Islamic era, the owner of property simply used to make a will to whomever he wished and deprived whomever he wanted.

This is why the will had no value during that era, till Islam came and approved it under certain conditions.

The wisdom of Islamic Shariah requires the consideration of public interest in its various legislations.

So, the Shariah always aims to achieve all those aspects whose benefits are well established, and to prevent all those aspects whose harms are well established.

One of these legislations is making wills because human beings need it.

This paper highlights the objectives of will, such as the Law Giver neither closed the door of doing good deeds, nor did He prevent from rectifying what is missing.

So, He permitted His servants to make wills over a portion of their property, so that they can make up for their short comings and increase their good deeds before their deaths.

This objective of will appears in the activities of the As-Salihin Trustee Company.
