In Islam, protecting your family's future is of the utmost importance. One of the ways to ensure this is through proper estate planning, which includes writing an Islamic Will and following Islamic laws of inheritance.
Islamic law, also known as Shariah, provides a framework for how assets will be distributed after a person's death. These laws aim to ensure that each person's rights are protected and that the distribution is fair and just.
People can specify how they want their assets distributed after death in an Islamic Will. The will should be written per Islamic laws of inheritance and witnessed by two people who are not beneficiaries.
One of the main principles of Islamic inheritance law is that a person's assets are divided among their heirs according to a fixed formula. The Qur'an outlines the shares each heir is entitled to, and these shares are determined based on the heir's relationship to the deceased.
For example, a wife is entitled to 1/8th of her husband's assets, while a husband is entitled to 1/4th of his wife's assets. Children are entitled to vary shares depending on the number of children and whether they are male or female.
It's important to note that Islamic inheritance law takes precedence over any other form of inheritance law, including secular laws. This means that if a person's will is not in accordance with Islamic laws of inheritance, the distribution of assets will be adjusted to comply with these laws.
By writing an Islamic Will and following Islamic laws of inheritance, you can ensure that your assets are distributed fairly and justly. This protects your family's future and helps maintain peace and harmony among family members.
Conclusion
Islamic Will and inheritance laws are essential for protecting your family's future. Following these laws and writing a will, you can ensure that your assets are distributed fairly and justly, per Islamic principles.
