Wasiyyah Builder automatically calculates your Faraidh inheritance shares, guides you through every Islamic requirement, and produces a complete, signed-ready will document — without a £1,500 solicitor.
مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَهُ شَيْءٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُوصِيَ فِيهِ يَبِيتُ لَيْلَتَيْنِ إِلَّا وَوَصِيَّتُهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ عِنْدَهُ
"It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to bequest to stay for two nights without having his last will and testament written and kept ready with him."
The Prophet ﷺ instructed Muslims not to let two nights pass without their will written. This is not a recommendation — it is a clear directive from authentic Hadith, applying to every Muslim who owns anything of value.
Without an Islamic will, your estate may be distributed under English common law — which ignores Faraidh entirely. Your spouse could inherit everything while your parents and children receive nothing. A valid wasiyyah prevents this.
Ambiguity in an estate is one of the most common causes of family breakdown after a death. A clear, Islamically grounded will removes ambiguity, honours every heir's right, and leaves nothing open to interpretation.
£1,200
average UK Islamic will solicitor fee
A qualified Islamic-aware solicitor in the UK typically charges between £500 and £2,000 to draft a single will. For many Muslim families — especially younger couples — this cost is a barrier that leads to indefinite delay.
11
Quranic heir categories to calculate
Eleven fixed shares. Complex rules about who blocks whom. Different outcomes depending on which relatives survive you. Most Muslims were never taught Faraidh — and without guidance, calculating it correctly is nearly impossible.

Free online will services use English intestacy defaults. For a Muslim, dying with only a generic will is almost as dangerous as dying without one — the estate will be distributed against Quranic requirements.

Automatic Quranic share calculation for every surviving heir — spouse, children, parents, grandparents, siblings. Handles all 11 heir categories and their interdependencies, based on Surah An-Nisa 4:11–12.
Islam permits up to one-third of your estate for non-heirs. Wasiyyah Builder walks you through using this wisely — for charity, close friends, or relatives outside the Faraidh system — with Islamic rulings explained clearly.
For parents of minor children — critically important and often forgotten. Name primary and backup guardians for your children. If your children ever need someone to care for them, this section makes your wishes legally clear.
Where you wish to be buried, who to contact, your preference for swift burial per the Sunnah, and any personal wishes for your family. Spares your loved ones from making these decisions in their darkest moment.
A complete record of all your assets — property, bank accounts, investments, pension, gold, digital accounts, business interests — and any debts. So nothing is missed and your family doesn't search blindly.
Life changes — a new child, a new property, a divorce, a death in the family. Founding members can update their will at any time, forever, without paying again. Because a will should grow with your life.
Every Faraidh calculation rule in Wasiyyah Builder is reviewed by qualified Islamic scholars before going live. We publish their names and credentials publicly. If a ruling is disputed among schools, we say so clearly.
End-to-end encryption. No third-party data sharing. No selling to law firms or marketing companies. You own your data — export or delete it at any time. Your will contents never touch our servers unencrypted.
Wasiyyah Builder is a guided Islamic will tool, not a law firm. We will always tell you when we recommend a solicitor for legal attestation. We would rather you spend £100 on attestation than have a weak will.
Wasiyyah Builder is not a generic legal SaaS with an Islamic skin. It is built from the ground up around Faraidh. Every design decision — every word of copy — is reviewed for Islamic appropriateness.
Scholar review details and credentials will be published publicly prior to launch. Wasiyyah Builder follows the majority opinion (jumhur) on Faraidh where scholars differ, with minority views noted.
Compare to the £500–£2,000 solicitor fee for the same document.

A wasiyyah (Islamic will) generated by Wasiyyah Builder is a complete Islamic will document. For full civil-law enforceability in the UK, it should be signed in the presence of two witnesses. We recommend a short solicitor attestation — typically £50–£150 — for added legal certainty. The document meets the requirements of the Wills Act 1837.
Faraidh (الفرائض) is the system of fixed inheritance shares mandated by the Quran in Surah An-Nisa (4:11–12). It prescribes exact fractions of an estate for surviving spouses, children, parents, and other relatives. The system ensures every entitled heir receives their God-given share, removing the potential for disputes or human interference.
No. You can draft a complete Islamic will using Wasiyyah Builder without a solicitor. The platform guides you through Faraidh calculation, asset distribution, guardian appointment, and janazah instructions. However, we recommend a brief solicitor attestation after drafting for full legal enforceability under UK law.
Islamic law permits a Muslim to bequest up to one-third (1/3) of their estate to non-heirs — such as charities, friends, or non-Muslim relatives. This is called the wasiyyah al-ikhtiyariyya (optional bequest). The remaining two-thirds must be distributed according to the mandatory Faraidh shares and cannot be altered by will.
Without a valid will, a Muslim's estate in the UK is distributed under the Intestacy Rules — which follow English common law, not Islamic Faraidh. This can result in distribution that directly contradicts Quranic obligations: a spouse may receive everything, children's shares may be incorrect, and parents may receive nothing. An Islamic will prevents this.
The primary heirs in Islamic law are the spouse, children (sons and daughters, with sons receiving twice a daughter's share per Quran 4:11), parents (father and mother), and in some cases grandparents and siblings. The exact shares depend on which heirs survive the deceased — a surviving son, for example, blocks certain other relatives. Wasiyyah Builder calculates this automatically.
Under Faraidh as stated in Quran 4:11, a daughter inherits half of what a son inherits. This ruling is understood within the broader context of Islamic financial responsibility — sons are obligated to financially support the women in their family (wives, sisters, mothers), while daughters retain their inheritance for themselves. Scholars emphasise the full system must be understood together.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ established that a Muslim may voluntarily bequest up to one-third of their estate to anyone not already entitled to a Faraidh share. This allows for charitable giving, support for non-Muslim family members, or gifts to friends. Bequests exceeding 1/3 are not valid without the consent of all adult heirs.
