What is the ruling on writing a bequest?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is writing a bequest obligatory?

Answer:
No, it is recommended. However, if he has something he fears for, such as debts that have no documents, he must document them for the people so that their rights are not lost. As for if he has nothing upon him and it is merely voluntary charity, it is recommended for him if he has something to bequeath, provided he has sufficient means.
