FAQ: Sharia-Compliant Estate Planning
Can I have a Sharia-compliant will under Canadian or US law?+
Yes. As long as your will meets local formality requirements (signing, witnesses), you can distribute your estate according to faraid principles — a knowledgeable lawyer can draft language that works in both systems.
What's the difference between wasiyya and inheritance?+
Inheritance follows fixed faraid shares for heirs. Wasiyya is a discretionary bequest of up to one-third of the estate to non-heirs or charity. Both can be expressed in a Canadian or US will.
Does the lawyer need to be Muslim?+
Not necessarily. They need familiarity with Islamic inheritance principles. Wasiya lawyers indicate this practice area on their profile so you can find a good fit.
