An Islamic Will, known as Wasiyyah, is a legal document that outlines how a Muslim’s estate should be distributed after their death in accordance with Sharia (Islamic Law). The primary purpose of an Islamic Will is to ensure that the distribution of assets adheres to Islamic principles, which emphasize justice, equity, and the rightful inheritance of heirs.

For Muslims living in non-Muslim countries, creating an Islamic Will is particularly important. In many jurisdictions, the absence of a will can result in the application of local inheritance laws, which may not align with Islamic principles. By having an Islamic Will, you ensure that your estate is distributed according to Sharia, safeguarding your religious values.

The executor of a Will is a critical figure responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Will are carried out correctly. In the context of an Islamic Will, the executor’s role is particularly important as they must navigate both Islamic laws and local legal requirements.

One of the most important aspects of creating an Islamic Will is appointing a guardian for your minor children. This ensures that your children are cared for in a manner consistent with your values and beliefs if both parents pass away.

In an Islamic Will, appointing a person to oversee the Janazah (Islamic funeral and burial) ensures that the funeral rites are performed in accordance with Islamic traditions. This person plays a crucial role in fulfilling your final religious duties.
