Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Prophet ﷺ said:

“It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to will to stay for two nights without having his Will written.”

(Sahih al-Bukhari, 2738)

Writing a Will ensures that your wealth is distributed according to Allah’s guidance — not the state’s. It also protects your family from confusion or dispute after you’re gone.

A proper Islamic Will should:

• Clearly state your identity and intentions
• Appoint trusted executors and guardians (if applicable)
• Allocate your estate according to Shariah inheritance rules (faraid)
• Allow for up to one-third of your wealth to be given to charity or non-heirs
• Comply with UK legal requirements so that it is recognised in court

We help you cover all of this, step by step.

Yes. Islam allows up to one-third of your estate to be distributed outside the fixed shares — for example, to a charity or a cause close to your heart.

This is a powerful way to leave behind sadaqah jariyah (ongoing reward) that continues after your death.

That’s very common - and exactly why we offer a free, no-pressure call.

We’ll walk you through what’s required and how it all works, in plain language, at your own pace.

Yes, your Will will be fully compliant with UK law — as long as it’s signed and witnessed correctly. We help you do this properly.

Every Will we handle is reviewed or overseen by qualified UK solicitors, so you can be confident it will stand up in court if needed.

Don’t worry. Many families have complexities — stepchildren, second marriages, overseas property, or business ownership.

We’ll guide you through your options and, where needed, involve our legal partners at Blakewater Solicitors, who specialise in Islamic and estate law.

Without a valid Will:

• Your estate will be distributed according to UK intestacy law - not Islamic law
• The process will likely be longer, more expensive, and more stressful for your loved ones
• The courts may appoint people you wouldn’t have chosen as guardians or executors
• Family disputes are more likely, especially in blended families or where expectations differ

It’s a difficult subject, but writing a Will now can protect your family from much greater hardship later.

Yes. We understand that circumstances change, your family grows, assets shift, priorities evolve.

You can update or rewrite your Will at any time. We’ll guide you on when and how to do it properly, so that your Will remains valid and up to date.

Every Will we help prepare follows the principles of Shariah inheritance (faraid) and is either:

• Based on approved Islamic templates
• Reviewed by experienced solicitors with an understanding of Islamic law
