The Islamic Will Kit

Description

Disputes over inheritance can be the cause for great strife and can even lead to the breakdown of family ties. Feuding family members might engage in disinheriting each other, favouritism, and injustice. It is also possible that a well-intentioned philanthropist donates all or most of their wealth, leaving his inheritors in poverty.

The Shari’ah of Islam seeks to preserve the rights of inheritors, preserving their wealth and ties of kinship.  In summary, a person’s estate is divided under Islamic law in a specific order: (1) Creditors (2) Lawful bequests (3) Spouses and Blood relatives with specified shares (4) Agnate relatives (5) then other relatives in the absence of agnation.

This will kit offers those wishing to record their Islamic Will and Testament an opportunity to document their wishes within the limits of Islamic law.
