-> A bequest might be executed by any Muslim to another, including the class of people and institution.
-> The person entitled to take or make a Will should have the capacity to take or make a Will.
-> A bequest has to be made of a subject.
-> All formalities of making the Will should be fulfilled.
-> Only one-third of the property can be bequeathed.
-> A bequest to the heirs should be restricted.
-> Future bequests are void and so is conditional contingent.

In this context, the court answered the substantial question of law in favour of the Appellant by recording a finding in favour of the Appellant by recording the finding that a Mahomedan can’t by Will dispose of more than a third of the estate after funeral expenses and payment s and debts.
