Why have an Islamic Estate Plan?
The preparation of a will according to Shari’ah guidelines is obligatory on all Muslims.
“It is unbecoming of a Muslim who has anything worth passing on, to spend two nights without having a will in one’s possession.”- Hadith of Muhammad (pbuh) in Bukhari
GOD decrees a will for the benefit of your children; [4:11]
It is decreed that when death approaches, you shall write a will for the benefit of the parents and relatives, equitably. This is a duty upon the righteous. [2:180]
