Islamic Estate Planning – is it for me…?

Established to meet the crying need of the ordinary Muslim to accumulate, preserve and to distribute their hard earned wealth to their loved ones in a manner based strictly on Syari’ah principles.

Muslims which fall within the following categories must also be aware of their peculiar circumstances vis-à-vis the principles of Faraid; converts, childless couples, adopted children, foster parents, no male heirs, single parents, divorcees and polygamous marriages.

Is a process of organizing one’s property through elements of preservation, accumulation and distribution with the overall objective of enhancing and sustaining the financial security of individuals, their families and future beneficiaries of the estate in a manner based strictly on Syari’ah principles.

Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad {pbuh}. says as narrated by Abdullah bin Umar:

“It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to will pass two nights without having his last Will and Testament written and kept ready with him”

from Sahih Al-Bukhari {Vol IV, p.1}
