Question
A woman has made an instructed that a certain person should not be allowed to attend her janaazah. Is this kind of wasiyyat permissible? Could it be enforced?
Answer
It is not permissible for a person to make a request or issue an instruction for some people not to be present at his/her mayyit. Such a request/ instruction has no validity in the Shariah. Neither could anyone be prevented from attending the Janaazah nor is it necessary for the persons concerned to absent themselves.
