What is the religious ruling on a wife's will that her husband not attend her funeral?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The rulings on a will are five: obligation, recommendation, prohibition, detestation, and permissibility. A wife's bequest before her death that her husband should not attend her funeral is impermissible, and her husband is not obligated to carry it out, because her funeral procession and the prayer over her are his right, and no one is allowed to revoke it, and this will is not valid.
