184 Q : Will the machinery used for construction be included as property in the Wa s iyyat ? A : In any kind of business, whether it is related to factory, mill or construction, only the portion which belongs to the M usi will be considered his property. For instance, if the total value of all assets, including fixed assets, receivables, bank balances, etc. , of a factory/mill/construction company is 10 million, of which it owes 6 million to banks and in other dues, the portion of the M usi shall be 4 million. This will be considered the M usi ’s property, and upon it he will be H i ss a J a ’id a d. In other words, the total value of a property, minus the liabilities, will be equal to the portion of the M usi upon which he will pay H i ss a J a ’id a d. H i ss a J a ’id a d on businesses is required to be paid after the M usi ’s death. But if he wishes to pay it during his life, the Tashkhees/assessment will be made of the total value of the business, all the amounts that are owed by the business will be subtracted, and H i ss a J a ’id a d will be payable on the rest of the property. QUESTIONS ABOUT DEATH AND THE TOMBSTONE Q : Will the same rules apply in case of local Maqbara M usia n , as apply to the Bahisht i Maqbarah , Rabwah? A : a. Yes, the same rules and regulations apply to any Maqbara M usia n as do on Bahsishti Maqbarah. As written in the regulations, a M usi ’s H i ss a A mad must be paid before the burial, though exception can be made in case of H i ss a J a ’id a d. If a M usi ’s H i ss a J a ’id a d has not been paid, burial can go on if a reliable person guarantees its payment. At the time of a M usi ’s death, it is essential to acquire all the accounts relating to the M usi ’s H i ss a A mad and J a ’id a d , and to receive the dues accordingly. b. Cemeteries for M usi s located in other countries cannot be given the name of Bahisht i Maqbara. They will be called Maqbara M usia n.
