Islamic inheritance law or Faraid governs the distribution of a deceased Muslim’s assets (estate), by determining their heirs and the shares, based on guidance from the Quran and Hadith. This distribution would apply by default for all of a deceased’s assets unless prior arrangements were made.
Begin your planning by first understanding who your beneficiaries are, the distribution rules, and the shares of each beneficiary.
You may use the Syariah Court Inheritance Calculator to visualise how your estate would be distributed according to Faraid.
This document allows a legal (Faraid) beneficiary, or a beneficiary mentioned in a Wasiat to redirect their benefit to another person of their choosing.
