Under Muslim law, a will allows a person to dispose of their property after death. There are certain requirements for a valid will, including that the person making the will (the legator) must be Muslim, of sound mind, and of age of majority. The will only takes effect after the legator's death. Property can only be given to those capable of receiving it (the legatees). A will must also follow certain formalities and can transfer certain types of the legator's property. There are also some limitations under Muslim law on exactly how much property can be given to legatees through a will.
