Q
What is the significance of making a will in Islam, and how is it related to the teachings of the Prophet (ﷺ)?


A

I asked `Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa, “Did the Prophet (ﷺ) make a will (to appoint his successor or bequeath
wealth)?” He replied, “No.” I said, “How is it prescribed then for the people to make wills, and they
are ordered to do so while the Prophet (ﷺ) did not make any will?” He said, “He made a will wherein he
recommended Allah’s Book.”
