Quran verses about Wills (wasiyyah)

الوصية

10 verses in 5 surahs · 6 subtopics

Wills (wasiyyah) are approached here from several angles: their place in the division of inheritance, the witnesses to be taken when making a will, the bequest in favour of the wife on the husband’s death, and the moment when making a will becomes impossible. The verses also relate the testament of Abraham and Jacob, as well as Allah’s instructions to His servants.
