The best way of ensuring that your assets are distributed correctly upon death, is to prepare a legally valid, Sharī ‘ah-compliant Will, therefore we at 1st Ethical have partnered with Al-Qalam Sharī‘ah Scholar Panel to produce the guide to ‘Preparing an Islamic Will’.
This guide highlights the key Sharī‘ah and legal factors to consider when writing an Islamic Will and also emphasises the rewards of leaving a bequest to charity. Enclosed is a Will template complete with guidelines to allow one to prepare their own Will.
“When a man dies, his acts come to an end, except for three: recurring charity (sadaqah jāriyah), knowledge (by which people) benefit, or a pious son who prays for him.” (Sahīh Muslim)
