Common questions, answered clearly.
Whether you are a Muslim family preparing your first will, a professional considering a referral, or an organisation exploring a partnership — these are the questions we hear most. We have answered them as clearly as we can.
An Islamic will can be legally valid in Canada when it is properly prepared, signed, and witnessed in accordance with provincial requirements. The Muslim Will structures every document to meet Ontario's legal requirements. Legal validity depends on accurate information, correct document execution, and proper witnessing — the process is designed to support all of these steps.
An Islamic will in Canada must work within provincial legal rules while reflecting the inheritance intentions of the person creating it. That means the legal structure and the Islamic inheritance structure — Faraid — must be addressed together, not separately. The Muslim Will is designed to do exactly that.
Faraid is the Islamic law of inheritance — a precise system that defines the share of the estate allocated to each category of heir based on the deceased's family structure. It is not optional for Muslims: distributing an estate without reference to Faraid is considered an Islamic obligation unfulfilled. The Muslim Will builds Faraid calculations into every will it prepares.
Yes. Islamic inheritance law permits up to one third of your estate to be directed to charitable causes outside the Faraid shares. Your family's inheritance shares are calculated from the remaining portion. The Muslim Will guides you through this clearly and builds the charitable bequest into your will document.
If someone dies without a will, provincial intestacy rules determine how the estate is handled — and those rules do not reflect Islamic inheritance principles. Families may be left without clear documentation for guardianship, inheritance intentions, or charitable wishes, and the estate may be distributed in ways the deceased never intended.
No. The Muslim Will is a structured technology platform and workflow system. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Legal document review and execution oversight is handled by licensed legal professionals within our workflow — but this is not independent legal advice. Clients with complex legal situations are encouraged to seek independent counsel.
No. Islamic inheritance review is handled by qualified scholars within our network — but this is a structured review of inheritance calculations, not a personal fatwa. For complex individual religious questions, we encourage clients to consult a scholar of their own choosing in addition to our review.
The Muslim Will is positioned Canada-first, with Ontario as the clearest current legal framework. Clients in other provinces should discuss their specific provincial requirements with a qualified legal professional. We do not make broad claims that go beyond what we can currently support.
Yes. Your application is saved as you go. You can return to it at any time, make changes, and continue from where you left off. Your will can also be updated any time your circumstances change — at no extra cost within your subscription.
The Bridge is The Muslim Will's core subscription product — a complete Islamic will and a private secure Vault, together, from $5.99/month. The will covers Faraid inheritance, guardianship, charitable bequests, and executor appointment. The Vault stores your private records, obligations, estate inventory, sealed disclosures, and personal messages — released to the right people at the right moment.
The Bridge — a complete Islamic will and private Vault — is available from $5.99/month. The Last Will & Testament document is also available as a standalone for $149.

The Bridge ($5.99/month) gives you a complete Islamic will and private Vault — everything most Muslim families need, with unlimited updates. The Full Package ($350 one-time) adds individual expert review layers — a qualified Islamic scholar reviewing your specific case, an admin and legal review, and digital attestation through a Zoom session with a paralegal. It is the right choice for complex estates or those who want individual expert attention on their case.
Yes. The Family Package offers The Bridge at a reduced per-person rate for families who want to plan together — husband, wife, and adult children — while keeping each account fully private and independent.
The Vault is a private, secure repository where you store everything your family and executor will need — your obligations register, estate inventory, sealed disclosures, and personal messages. It is held privately while you are alive and released to the right people after your passing through a verified release process.
Only you can access your Vault while you are alive. After your passing is verified, your executor is granted access through our release process. Each item in your Vault can be assigned to a specific recipient — ensuring the right people receive only what you intended for them.
This is an important question we will address clearly in our terms and conditions before launch. Our commitment is that your estate documents and Vault contents are never deleted without a clear, documented process and adequate notice.
