Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
Al-waṣiyyah is an integral part of Islamic law of inheritance. Giving out a stipulated fraction out of an estate willingly by a Muslim especially to non-heirs while alive is also an applauded mechanism of wealth distribution and enthronement of peace and love among relatives in Islam. This, without mincing words has been copiously enumerated by numerous scholars of the past and present. However, little have been done in term of comparative analysis of the opinions and judicial verdicts of the scholars of the four Sūnni schools in Islam especially to the English readers and learners. For this, this article is aim at briefly explain the concept of Islam and Sharī‘ah, reasons for divergent of opinions among these schools, conditions and benefits of making bequest and comparatively enumerate some divergent and convergent views of scholars as regards Al-waṣiyyah. It was then concluded that flexibility and all-inclusiveness of Islamic law made it possible for scholars to express divergent views on some religious, social, political and economic issues with huge reference to the unadulterated main sources of Islamic law, Qur‟an andSunnah.
