Without a will, the law decides
A valid will lets you direct your estate within the farāʾiḍ and can spare your family the delay and cost of intestacy.

Free guidance for Muslim families
Inheritance Masterclass
Everything a Muslim family in England and Wales needs to put their affairs in order—the Islamic way, and the lawful way.
Most of us know we should write a will. Few of us do. When someone passes without one, the estate is divided by the default rules of England and Wales—not by the Sharīʿah, and rarely in the way the family would have chosen. This Masterclass exists to change that.
Everything here is free: the teaching, the calculator, the will builder and the templates. It is built for ordinary families—especially property-rich, cash-poor households—and it keeps two promises at once: what you leave behind is distributed according to the farāʾiḍ, and it is done in a way the courts here will uphold.
“It is not right for a Muslim who has anything to bequeath to let even two nights pass without his will written and kept with him.”
Protect the family home
The right clauses can allow a widow to remain in the home and preserve flexibility if her circumstances change.
Plan for a property-heavy estate
Early planning can reduce the risk of a rushed sale when an estate is rich in property but short of cash.
Prepare for inheritance tax
Understand the available allowances and take regulated advice before tax becomes an urgent family problem.
