Thank you..

You mean people in their 20s don't die again or what?

By making a plan at this age, and getting it out of the way, she is not only being smart but making sure that whatever happens as she is busy living her life, that aspect is taken care of. Can you say the same about your person?

wow! there isa sharing formula in the quaran..?

Praise be to Allah.

There is a difference between a will and a gift. Property that is willingly given away whilst one is alive is considered to be a gift, which does not come under the same rulings as a will. But it should be noted that it is not permissible for a person to give a gift to some of his children and not others, or to prefer some of them over others in gift-giving. Rather they must be treated fairly, because of the hadeeth of al-Nu’maan ibn Basheer, who said that his father brought him to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), when he gave him a gift, to ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to bear witness to it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked, “Have you given something similar to all your children?” He said, “No.” He said, “Then take it back.” Then he said: “Fear Allaah and treat your children fairly.”

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, al-Hibbah, 2398) 

With regard to the will, this is instructions on how (one’s property) is to be disposed of after one’s death, or how it is to be given away after one’s death. 

The evidence that this (writing a will) is prescribed in Islam is to be found in the Qur’aan and Sunnah, and the consensus of the scholars. Allaah says (interpretation of the meanings): 

“It is prescribed for you, when death approaches any of you, if he leaves wealth, that he makes a bequest to parents and next of kin, according to reasonable manners. (This is) a duty upon Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)”[al-Baqarah 2:180] 

“(The distribution in all cases is) after the payment of legacies he may have bequeathed or debts”[al-Nisa’ 4:11] 

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah was being generous to you when He allowed you to give one-third of your wealth (in charity) when you die, to increase your good deeds.”

(Narrated by Ibn Maajah, al-Wasaayaa, 2700; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah, no. 2190) 

The scholars agreed that this is permissible. 

And it (writing a will) may be obligatory with regard to the dues of others where there is no proof, lest they be lost or neglected, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to will to stay for two nights without having his last will and testament
written and kept ready with him.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, al-Wasaayaa 2533). And it is mustahabb for a man to will that some of his wealth be used for charitable purposes, so that the reward for that may reach him after his death. So Allaah granted permission for a person to dispose of one third of his wealth for that purpose when death approaches.

It is permitted to write a will concerning one third or less. Some of the scholars said it is preferable for it to be less than one-third, and the will does not apply to any of the heirs, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no will for the heirs.” (narrated by al-Tirmidhi, al-Wasaayaa, 2047; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, no. 1722). If the will is intended to harm the heirs or make things difficult for them, then that is haraam, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“so that no loss is caused (to anyone)”[al-Nisaa’ 4:12]

The will comes into effect when the person dies. It is permissible for the person who writes the will to revoke it or cancel it or revoke part of it. Carrying out the will is an important matter which was confirmed by Allaah and mentioned before other things, and there is a stern warning issued to those who change it.

With regard to the distribution of personal belongings, he does not have the right to state how they should be distributed after he dies, because the share of each heir has been defined by Allaah, and He has explained who inherits and who does not inherit. So it is not permitted for any person to transgress the limits set by Allaah, because Allaah has warned against doing that. Allaah says in Soorat al-Nisaa’ (interpretation of the meaning):

“Allaah commands you as regards your children’s (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females; if (there are) only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is a half. For parents, a sixth share of inheritance to each if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased left brothers or (sisters), the mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases is) after the payment of legacies he may have bequeathed or debts. You know not which of them, whether your parents or your children, are nearest to you in benefit; (these fixed shares) are ordained by Allaah. And Allaah is Ever All‑Knower, All‑Wise.

In that which your wives leave, your share is a half if they have no child; but if they leave a child, you get a fourth of that which they leave after payment of legacies that they may have bequeathed or debts. In that which you leave, their (your wives) share is a fourth if you leave no child; but if you leave a child, they get an eighth of that which you leave after payment of legacies that you may have bequeathed or debts. If the man or woman whose inheritance is in question has left neither ascendants nor descendants, but has left a brother or a sister, each one of the two gets a sixth; but if more than two, they share in a third, after payment of legacies he (or she) may have bequeathed or debts, so that no loss is caused (to anyone). This is a Commandment from Allaah; and Allaah is Ever All‑Knowing, Most‑Forbearing.

These are the limits (set by) Allaah (or ordainments as regards laws of inheritance), and whosoever obeys Allaah and His Messenger (Muhammad) will be admitted to Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise), to abide therein, and that will be the great success
And whosoever disobeys Allaah and His Messenger (Muhammad), and transgresses His limits, He will cast him into the Fire, to abide therein; and he shall have a disgraceful torment”[al-Nisaa’ 4:11-14]

And Allah knows best.

What's the difference between a will and a funeral policy

You still don't get it Samantha, you are in your mid 20s you shouldn't have a singular thought of any of such

It's not being smart. She's just being foolish just like you who haven't made plans for your funeral but applauding another who is.
Infact I think you are more foolish than her. Funeral you are not planning life you haven't charted your way

Samantha124:
Thank you..

Of cause you are going to thank her.
Well you are better than her in some degree. She's more foolish than you and saying you aren't too

Those people that died in their 20s and 30s, or even 40s, did they think of it?

Do you know when you're going to die

And I'm asking you what's the difference between a will and a funeral policy?

Wait, how do you know that it's a woman

Nobody knows. You are not getting me of what benefits will you have when you are dead.
Whatever plans you had you don't feel it, benefit it or enjoy anything from your funeral policy.

And I'm asking you what's the difference between a funeral policy and a Will.

Will you get to enjoy your will when you're still alive?

By the way I enjoyed your thread on South Africa tribe.
Blood and Water series really showcase how beautiful S.A is. Which cities have those beautiful beaches.
You can talk more on
Food
Cities
Relationship between black South Africans and White South Africans. Is it more like White and Black American kind of thing. Where the white controls more economic value.

No, I don't... How do you know? Because her profile doesn't state as to whether it's a female or male.

invinzible1:

She's a she... Don't you know.

Good know you know. She's a full blown Nigerian low budget feminist that trolls a lot here. Sometimes I enjoy her trolling and most times I'm indifferent. She loves attention though

Then how come you're also not coming after those say they have wills, but you specifically targeted me that has a funeral policy

invinzible1:

No.

Okay, I'll talk about them in my future threads.

Because I believe you should have investment portfolios rather than funeral policy

Samantha124:

Be nice and tag me if possible

But a funeral policy is also an investment portfolio..

I don't usually keep people's monickers in my mind, so I can't promise that.

My love long time, I hope you're good? I am smiling at the text in bold.......you want your parents' siblings to kill you abi?

It is that time they will come out and be forming blood is thicker than water, you cannot bury our brother or sister without doing this and doing that......blah blah blah.

Tell your dad to put what he said in writing and also inform his church and siblings verbally o. Too many people in this country don't respect boundaries or the wishes of others, ITK full their body.

At the last paragraph- good thinking! It is better to grant our trusted folks access to bank accounts than have the banks cash out on our hard work and earnings.

I'm good.. They won't kill me, they will only be surprised that I am not in for partying and won't give in to any ridiculous demand either from them or church..

Not yet because I don't have anything to write

Samantha124:

Maybe what the person is trying to say is this, since most don't have properties that will cause fight amongst family members especially the single ones without children, then it's not necessary.

For me, once child/ren is/are involved, it's a must have. My dad read his to the hearing of all his children after having a near death experience many years ago and he is still very much alive, although my mum never liked the idea because she felt it will make us unserious.

Klass99:


Apart from writing a will I wish more people would leave end of life instructions regarding their death and funerals, to save their loved ones from unnecessary stress and strain, especially those of us who practice the Christian faith.

I am yet to understand the point of dragging out funerals, leaving bodies at the morgue for a lengthy time, service of songs etc. We should know better that once you die your soul goes to either one of two places, heaven or hell.

So, what's the relevance or benefit of what we do? It won't change a person's final destination or resting place, neither will it bring them back nor stop our hurt and pain. A friend just buried his mother and the wahala was plenty, we both agreed that we ought to embrace the Muslim way/practice of burying the dead. According to him some morgues were an eye sore and organs are harvested from dead bodies for sale.

And no, spending huge sums of money on funerals is not honouring the dead like we love to think. It is foolishness if you ask me, if you couldn't or didn't honour a person while they were alive, by treating them kindly or respectfully, giving them 30k or helping in other ways, when they asked or needed help, how is it now honouring to spend 250k on a casket they are unaware of and which doesn't help them in their demise?

I don't know about a will just yet but I plan to inform two of my siblings of the access codes to my bank accounts, pension account and other relevant accounts. They will be updated if or when the access codes change, additionally, I will ask them to please bury my body quickly and speedily without drama abeg. Don't even waste time trying to transport the body back to our village. It is just vanity upon vanity.

you have lay a good rule for yourself, May God grant us happy ending

Okay.
