Islamic Will?

[laian]

Assalamu alaikum greeneyezopened,


I had the same concern as you. At my masjid (and I am in a small community so it should be easy where you are inshaAllah) I obtained an "Interment Authorization" form.


Talk to your imam to get a form like this, it basically states that you are authorizing the Islamic Cemetary (or whatever organization in your community that does burials) to bury you according to the Islamic Sharia.


It is a simple statement, I don't know where you are from, but in the U.S. I just had it notorized, gave copies to my family and to my masjid, and I keep the original. It may also be a good idea to give a copy to your doctor or hospital since you are having surgery that you are worried about.


InshaAllah I hope your surgery goes well and you will not need this, but it is a good idea to get the authorization anyway as death can come at any time.


Hope this helps
