2 Questions: Wasiyyat and Sajdah Tilawat

· 8 Rabiʻ I 1423 AH1 min readFatwa 5369English

Question

Assalamu Alaikum, I have 2 questions: - Is it mandatory for every adult Muslim to have a wasiyyat (will) regardless of age? - If I have to repeat an ayat with a sajdah in it many times for the purpose of memorization, do I need to perform sajdah that many times?

Answer

1. Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) is reported to have said that it is inappropriate for a person to spend even two nights without having written a will. (Bukhari vol.1 pg.382). This Hadith draws our attention towards the importance of preparing a Will.
2. If one is seated in the same place and repeats the verse of Sajdah many times, then only one Sajdah will be compulsory.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

How do I make an Islamic will (wasiyyah)?

“If a bequest is made in favour of non-heirs, then the bequest will be valid up to one-third of the estate, if they, i.e., the beneficiaries, are alive at the time of demise.”
