Shariah-compliant estate planning
Qismah guides Muslims through Faraid inheritance distribution and Shariah-compliant will preparation — step by step, in plain language.
What Qismah offers
Two Shariah-compliant tools, each designed to simplify a distinct part of Islamic estate planning.
Enter your family profile and estate details. Qismah automatically applies the correct Faraid shares — including Awl and Radd adjustments — and generates a full distribution breakdown with a downloadable PDF summary.
Generate a structured, Shariah-compliant will document tailored to your jurisdiction. Define guardianship, specific bequests within the one-third limit, executor preferences, and special instructions — aligned with Islamic legal principles.
In the UAE, estates without a registered Shariah-compliant will can take months to resolve through the courts, leaving families without access to assets when they need them most. For parents, a missing guardianship designation adds to an already difficult time. Knowing your Faraid distribution in advance — and having it documented — protects your family and honours your obligations.
How it works
Provide gender, marital status, and the details of anticipated heirs — spouse, children, parents, grandparents, siblings. No legal knowledge required.
Input the gross estate value, deduct funeral costs and outstanding debts, and optionally declare a Wasiyyah (bequest) of up to one-third for non-heirs.
Fixed shares are allocated according to Quranic injunctions. Awl or Radd adjustments are applied automatically. Every rule is shown transparently in an audit trail.
Receive a complete inheritance distribution summary — each heir's share, amounts in your local currency, and the full methodology — as a formatted PDF.
It is the duty of a Muslim who has anything to bequeath not to let two nights pass without writing a will about it.
