Application & Eligibility

Is it permissible to make Wasiyyat while in debt?

If a prospective Musi fulfills all the conditions, including those relating to income and property, they cannot be stopped from making Wasiyyat. Debt is no hindrance to Wasiyyat, because debt is not counted while a person is alive.

It is important, however, to consider the circumstances of the person in debt. If they have acquired property through a loan and that property produces income, or if they have started a business with a loan and are earning a profit from it, they may make Wasiyyat. But if a member has no source of income and no property, and is permanently dependent on loans for subsistence, then making Wasiyyat is not obligatory for them.
