Islamic Will (Wasiyyah)

Protect Your Legacy. Honour Your Faith. 

A Wasiyyah, or Islamic Will, is a faith-based way to ensure your estate is distributed according to Islamic principles after your passing. Preparing an Islamic Will is an act of responsibility that protects your loved ones and helps fulfil your obligations to Allah (swt). 

What Is a Wasiyyah? 

A Wasiyyah refers to a will written in accordance with Islamic law. It outlines how your assets should be distributed, ensuring debts are settled, obligations are fulfilled, and heirs receive their rightful shares as prescribed in Islam. 

Why an Islamic Will Matters 

Without an Islamic Will, your estate may be distributed according to local laws, which may not align with Islamic guidelines. A Wasiyyah provides clarity, prevents disputes, and ensures your wishes are carried out with fairness and care. 

Key Elements of a Wasiyyah 

An Islamic Will typically includes: 

• Payment of debts and outstanding obligations 

• Distribution of assets according to Islamic inheritance rules 

• Up to one-third of the estate allocated to non-heirs or charitable causes 

• Clear instructions for guardianship of dependents, where applicable 

Leaving a Lasting Good 

A Wasiyyah allows you to support charitable causes even after your passing. By allocating a portion of your estate, you can continue helping those in need and create ongoing benefit that extends beyond your lifetime.
