The problem

Without a will, Canadian law decides — not Islamic law

When a Muslim dies intestate (without a will) in Canada, provincial succession laws distribute the estate — not Mawarith. The result is often a distribution that directly conflicts with Shariah.

⚠️
Spouse gets everything first Canadian law typically gives the first $350,000–$500,000 to the surviving spouse, then splits the remainder. Sons and daughters receive equal shares — not the 2:1 Mawarith ratio.
⚠️
Parents and siblings may receive nothing Under provincial intestacy rules, parents only inherit if there is no spouse or children. In Islamic law, parents have fixed Qur'anic shares regardless of who else survives.
⚠️
No wasiyyah bequests honoured There is no mechanism to direct up to 1/3 of your estate to a charity, mosque, or non-heir without a written will. Your intentions cannot be carried out.
⚠️
Burial wishes go unrecorded Without written instructions, family members may not agree on ghusl, janazah, or burial arrangements at a difficult moment.

A Wasiyyah is a religious obligation

The Prophet ﷺ said: "It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to will to stay for two nights without having his last will written and kept ready with him." (Bukhari & Muslim)

WillVera makes it easy to fulfil this obligation — in under 15 minutes, for $79.

Mawarith (Faraid)

The table on the right shows a sample distribution for a man survived by a wife, father, mother, one son, and one daughter. WillVera handles all 6 case types automatically.

FAQ

Common questions about Islamic wills in Canada

A Wasiyyah is an Islamic will that distributes your estate according to Shariah law. It includes Mawarith (Qur'anic inheritance shares) for your heirs, wasiyyah bequests of up to 1/3 of your estate to any person or charity, and Islamic burial instructions. It is legally valid in Canada when properly signed and witnessed.
Yes. An Islamic will is fully legally valid in all Canadian provinces and territories as long as it meets the formal requirements of your province — typically signed by you in the presence of two adult witnesses who are not beneficiaries. WillVera prepares your document in compliance with both your province's succession laws and Islamic principles.
Without a will, Canadian intestacy laws apply — not Islamic inheritance law.

An Islamic will is essential to ensure your estate follows Shariah principles.
