By the LAW OF INHERITANCE only a few of the kinsfolk may profit on a certain account and amount. It may be so that, some of the close friends and relatives of the testator are in strong need. Therefore the LAW OF INHERITANCE is accompanied with the LAW OF BEQUEST, in order to fill the shortcomings and to cover the weak points. Jurists have held that the testator has power of disposition up to one-third of his property. Yet he must not be partial to one heir at the expense of another, or attempt to defeat lawful creditors. In islam stress is laid on making a bequest, and our Holy Prophet (AS) said: ``He who does not make a bequest, dies the death of ignorance.''
