(Part 2) Glory be to Allah!!!  Having defined the meaning of Shari ‘ah-Compliant Will  and non-Islamic State in our last class, it is now imperative to look at the modalities that could be adopted by a Muslim living in non-Islamic state to write his Wasiyyah and make it valid and tenable in the Court of law after his or demise.

Today,  Inshā Allāh, we are looking at the differences between the two and what distinguished the former from the latter as the most appropriate method of writing will in term of content, application and appropriateness.
