I would appreciate very much if you could please help me understand verse 2:170 the meaning of which is  ”waseeyat is made obligatory (kutiba) on you regarding your wealth….” . What is the difference between “waseeyat” and making a will. My understanding is that making a will is not permissible in Islam.  Also,  verse 4:7-8 gives specific instruction about inheritance.

icdbd-QA/0017: To what extent one can take revenge of his harm/injury

My question:  Verse 5:45 instructs man that revenge  can be taken – only to the extent  of injury/ harm received, and not more. And of course to forgive is better and expiate the victim’s sins.. The question this is about physical harm, what about psychological or mental harm or torture? The Quraan has mentioned  more than once that to create fasaad( chaos/unrest) is worse than killing. (eg verse 2:217) what will be the punishment or revenge  for causing harm ?
