Investigating the Possibility of Children’s Will

According to some jurisprudents the children's will is not correct. Civil law has also accepted their viewpoints. The present study is performed with a descriptive - analytical method and aims to prove the accuracy of child’s will and to determine the related conditions in order to show the significance of child’s rights in Islamic jurisprudence perspective as well as the significance of Islamic lifestyle. It is understood from the present research that the emphasis of some Islamic jurisprudents on the difference between the child’s will and the other contracts, as well as the contrast between the view of this group and the view of western lawyers, who proposed the difference between the child’s will and the other contracts, indicate the leading role of Islamic jurisprudence in this kind of attention to children's rights. The emphasis of those who believe in the accuracy of children’s will and those who claim that these wills should be made for good deeds and for helping and caring for the relatives encourages the children to love and to sympathize with others, especially relatives. Regardless of the need to respect the child’s will, the Iranian Civil Code does not validate the will of the children. Since the Civil Law is generally based on the famous fatwas, it should accept the children’s will and respect their animus while considering the rights of the inheritors.
