A Woman Writing Her Own Will and Testifying to It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
These are flowers from the gardens. It says: If a woman is unable to write her will in the court, is it possible for her to write it herself and have some of her adult children testify to it?

Answer:
If she is unable to do so, the judge sends a notary public to her, and he writes the will in her presence at her location, in the presence of those from her family who remove the state of seclusion (khalwah). Yes.
