Shari’ah-compliant estate planning involves creating a strategy that ensures your assets are distributed according to Islamic principles. This includes adherence to guidelines set forth in the Qur’an and Hadith regarding inheritance and charity. Our goal is to craft a plan that respects your values while ensuring your family’s financial security and peace of mind.
It goes beyond just drafting a will—it encompasses wills (Wasiyyah), trusts (Waqf), and charitable giving (Sadaqah) to ensure your wealth is distributed ethically and in accordance with your faith. By incorporating Islamic inheritance laws, a Shari’ah-compliant estate plan helps prevent disputes among heirs, safeguards the rights of dependents, and ensures that a portion of your estate can be dedicated to charitable causes. With careful planning, you can protect your legacy while fulfilling both religious obligations and legal requirements.
Respecting Religious Obligations: Shari’ah law outlines specific shares for family members, ensuring an equitable distribution of assets that complies with Islamic principles. By planning your estate according to these guidelines, you honor your faith and fulfill your religious duties.
Ensuring Fairness and Justice: Islamic inheritance law is designed to maintain balance and fairness among heirs. Proper estate planning ensures that no one is unfairly excluded or given preferential treatment, promoting harmony and preventing disputes.
Providing for Dependents and Charity: Shari’ah estate planning takes into account the welfare of minor children, dependents, and elderly family members, and it encourages charitable giving (Sadaqah or Waqf) to support causes close to your heart.

A well-structured estate plan helps protect your wealth, provide for your heirs, and fulfill your religious obligations, including zakat. Zakat, a mandatory form of charity, plays a crucial role in wealth purification. When planning your estate, it’s important to account for any unpaid zakat and incorporate charitable giving, such as sadaqah (voluntary charity) or waqf (endowments), to leave a lasting impact.
Our team helps you structure your estate so that your financial legacy is both legally sound and spiritually fulfilling. By integrating wealth preservation strategies with your zakat obligations, you can ensure that your assets continue to benefit your family and the community while remaining compliant with both Islamic principles and state laws.
