Article 221 of Personal Status Law

English translation

A bequest is valid despite a difference in religion and creed, and despite a difference in the two territories, unless the testator is a national of an Islamic country and the legatee is a non-Muslim national of a non-Islamic country whose law prohibits a bequest to a person such as the testator.
Arabic original
تصح الوصية مع اختلاف الدين والملة ، ومع اختلاف الدارين ، ما لم يكن الموصي تابعا لبلد اسلامي ، والموصي له غير مسلم تابع لبلد غير اسلامي ، تمنع شريعته من الوصية لمثل الموصي .
