Ruling 2723 — Will (Waṣiyyah)

If a person retracts his will – for example, he states that the one-third of his estate[4] is to be given to someone but then states that it must not be given to him – such a will becomes void (bāṭil). If he changes his will – for example, he appoints a custodian for his children but then appoints someone else in his place – his first will becomes void and his second will must be acted upon.
