2 Questions: Wasiyyat and Sajdah Tilawat
Question
Assalamu Alaikum, I have 2 questions: - Is it mandatory for every adult Muslim to have a wasiyyat (will) regardless of age? - If I have to repeat an ayat with a sajdah in it many times for the purpose of memorization, do I need to perform sajdah that many times?
Answer
1. Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) is reported to have said that it is inappropriate for a person to spend even two nights without having written a will. (Bukhari vol.1 pg.382). This Hadith draws our attention towards the importance of preparing a Will.
2. If one is seated in the same place and repeats the verse of Sajdah many times, then only one Sajdah will be compulsory.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
