Islamic Will (Waṣiyya)

Plan your estate the Islamic way: settle funeral costs and debts, set bequests within the one-third limit, and divide the rest by the farāʾiḍ — then generate a will document. Computed in your browser.

Estate

Everything you own, valued today.
$
Paid first, before anything else.
$
Paid before any bequest or inheritance.
$

Heirs

Who survives you. The residue after bequests is divided among them by Islamic shares.

Bequests (waṣāyā)

Gifts to people or causes. Total is capped at one-third of the net estate; a bequest to an heir needs the other heirs’ consent.

Distribution

Will document

An educational aid — not legal advice
This document helps you understand an Islamic distribution; it is not a substitute for a lawyer. A valid, enforceable will must meet your country’s formal requirements (signing, witnesses, probate). Consult a qualified lawyer and a scholar before relying on it.

Method & sources

Order of settlement (funeral → debts → bequests → inheritance) follows Qurʾān 4:11–12. The one-third bequest limit is the ḥadīth of Saʿd b. Abī Waqqāṣ (al-Bukhārī 2742, Muslim 1628); "no bequest to an heir" is reported by Abū Dāwūd (2870) and al-Tirmidhī (2120). The residue is divided by the Sunni-Jumhūr farāʾiḍ engine.

Qurʾān · an-Nisāʾ 4:11–12↗

Inheritance is divided only «after any bequest … or debt» (min baʿdi waṣiyyatin yūṣī bihā aw dayn) — the order: funeral & debts, then bequests, then the fixed shares.

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 2742↗

Saʿd b. Abī Waqqāṣ: the Prophet ﷺ limited his bequest to one-third — «the third, and the third is much».

Sunan Abī Dāwūd 2870↗

No bequest to an heir («lā waṣiyyata li-wārith») without the other heirs’ consent.
