Best of you

43. "The best of your leaders are those that you love and they love you, you supplicate for them and they supplicate for you. The worst of your leaders are those that you hate and they hate you, you curse them and they curse you." [Muslim]

Quotes to remember

3. “And be moderate in your pace and lower your voice; indeed, the most disagreeable of sounds is the voice of donkeys… But of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening Book.”(Qur’an, 31:19-20)

One is Bound by the Provision Made by the Deceased in His Will

 


Question:

Prior to his death, a man bequeathed a quarter of his wealth to be divided as follows: 1) An animal to be slaughtered for him every year. 2) Charities for the poor and needy. 3) Righteous works and charitable projects. - the wealth from which he bequeathed a quarter amounts to some real estate and some small balances in a number of banks. My question is: Is it permissible of a mosque only, or are we bound by the provisions mentioned by the one who made the bequest only?
Answer:

It is obligatory in a will such as this to be bound by the provision mentioned by the one who made the bequest. The same for all legal wills, it is obligatory to be bound by the provisions mentioned by the one who made the bequest and to implement them as much as one is able. And Allaah is the Granter of success.
