Making Will (Wasiyat) According To The Western Country's Law
When the law of land is against Islamic Law and one has the option to write their own will, then a Muslim should have the will written in accordance with Islamic Law. Please note that Pakistani Inheritance Law is based on a specific Hanafite Interpretation of Islamic law of Inheritance. Ghamidi Sahab disagrees with that interpretation and his own understanding can be found in the link shared below: Discussion 10380 Adopted child has no share in inheritance, but share can be allocated to that child in the will , before legal distribution of inheritance to the legal heirs. As for the legal heirs, including wife , no will can be made in favour of an heir ordained by the Almighty before legal distribution of inheritance, except if his circumstances, or the services rendered by him or his needs in certain situations call for it . Therefore, specific share of wealth can also be allocated to the wife if above conditions are fulfilled. After these allocations, then the remaining inheritance will be distributed among the legal heirs as per the shares mentioned in Quran.
