In a Waqf created by one A, the value of Waqf property was Rs. 50,00,000. The Mutawalliship and Naib-Mutawalliship ran in the family of the wakf from generation to generation. The wakf is for religious purposes but it also provided for payment of a substantial allowance for the Mutawallis and Nabi Mutawallis and for family members in various portions.

'K' a Muslim dies leaving a son 'B', widow 'X' and a grandson 'Y' by a pre-deceased son. 'K' by his "Will" bequeathed 1/3 of the estate to 'B' and 'Y'. 'X' does not consent to the bequest in favour of 'Y'. Is this bequest in favour of 'Y'? Is this bequest valid?

Analyse the concept of Will in Islam and explain clearly the requirements of a valid Wasiyat and the means by which a Wasiyat can be revoked. Highlight the exceptions to the one-third rule of testamentary disposition of property among Muslims. Also, reveal the difference between the Shias and Sunni with respect to the Law of Wills.

A Muslim made a Will of his properties in favour of his two friends 'Y' and 'Z', by stipulating that the former would get 1 /2 and the latter 1/4 of his property. His heirs did not approve of the Will. Determine the respective shares to which each would be entitled under Sunni law and Shia law.
