Many Australian Muslims leave their loved ones vulnerable by not having a legally valid Islamic will. Without proper guidance, families face emotional and legal disputes, misalignment with Islamic principles, and non-compliance with Australian law.
Our Islamic will services eliminate confusion, ensure your estate will be distributed correctly, and safeguard both your spiritual and legal interests.
Islamic wills must follow detailed Islamic obligations derived from Sharia law. This includes Quranic inheritance rules, Faraid (obligatory heirs), and the Wasiyyah clause that permits bequests up to one-third of the estate. It excludes prohibited beneficiaries such as non-Muslims and outlines structured succession guidelines, ensuring your estate will be distributed in accordance with Islamic principles.
Islamic principles allocate fixed shares to children, spouses, and parents, while non-heirs can be included through the wasiyyah. Charitable donations are also encouraged within the discretionary one-third portion. The will should address any disqualification conditions and clearly identify both primary and residuary heirs. Proper planning helps ensure the estate is distributed fairly and in line with Islamic values.
A complete Islamic Will ensures that debts are settled first, followed by covering funeral expenses. It then allows for the execution of the will, allocation of any remaining assets, and faithful implementation by the appointed executor. This structured sequence ensures your estate is distributed properly, respectfully, and in full accordance with Islamic legal and ethical obligations.
An Islamic Will holds weight only if it is legally valid under Australian law. That means meeting local compliance, fulfilling witness requirements, confirming testamentary capacity, and managing the registration process. Our firm helps resolve jurisdictional conflicts, guaranteeing your will is both religiously correct and enforceable.
The Wasiyyah clause lets you donate up to one-third of your estate to non-heirs, provided it's specific, witnessed, and revocable. Our Islamic Will services make sure your wasiyyah is meaningful and legally accepted, and your estate will be distributed in compliance with Islamic obligations.
A qualified executor must be trustworthy, familiar with Islamic rules, and hold legal authority under Australian law. Their tasks include overseeing debt payments, asset transfers, and enforcing your instructions. We guide you through the executor appointment process to ensure your will is executed with diligence and care.
Digital Islamic Wills are electronic versions of traditional Islamic wills (also known as Wasiyyah) that are created, stored, and sometimes executed using digital platforms. They combine the principles of Islamic inheritance laws with modern technology to provide Muslims a convenient and Sharia-compliant way to manage their estate planning.
They follow the rules set in the Qur’an and Sunnah regarding the distribution of wealth, ensuring fixed shares for heirs such as spouses, children, and parents. Users can draft their wills online using guided templates that incorporate Islamic inheritance rules.
These platforms often help identify rightful heirs and their shares based on user input. They are made to comply with local legal requirements (e.g., signatures, witnesses, notarization) so that the will is enforceable in the user’s country of residence.
Wills can be securely stored online and accessed by nominated executors or family members upon a person’s death. Many platforms offer automated inheritance calculators that divide assets according to Islamic law, reducing the chance of errors. Users can update their will digitally as their life circumstances change (marriage, children, new assets, etc.).
The journey of faith includes planning for the future. At Go Lawyers, we guide Australian Muslims through the process of creating Sharia-compliant wills that respect Islamic principles and comply with local law. Our experts help you distribute your estate justly, appoint guardians, and establish lasting charitable legacies. Whether you’re preparing for Hajj or planning ahead, now is the time to ensure your affairs are in order.

Creating an Islamic Will shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Our step-by-step process is designed to make your experience smooth, supportive, and fully aligned with your faith and legal needs. Here’s how we ensure your legacy is handled with care:
With our guided approach, your estate will be distributed according to your wishes—faithfully, lawfully, and without complication.
Whether you are a practising Muslim, part of a blended family, or simply want to honour your faith within the framework of Australian law, our experienced team delivers Islamic Will services that preserve your legacy and respect your values.
Yes. A properly executed Islamic Will is fully legally valid under Australian law, as long as it includes required signatures, witness formalities, testamentary capacity, and clear intent. Our drafts follow each state's Succession Act and include a plain-English explanation of Islamic obligations, so your estate will be distributed with minimal resistance from probate registrars.
According to Islamic principles, up to one-third of your estate can be freely bequeathed to non-heirs, such as stepchildren, non-Muslim relatives, or charitable organisations. This is called the wasiyyah. Our team ensures these gifts do not infringe on the shares of compulsory heirs, and automatically adjusts “excess” gifts if needed.
Absolutely. A Waqf is a charitable endowment, or ṣadaqah jāriyah, which can be established through your Will using part of your wasiyyah. You can:
1. Create a new Waqf via deed after death,
2. Top-up an existing Waqf, or
3. Allocate your ⅓ to a registered charity (we include legal name and ABN). All options are drafted to comply with Shariah and Australian law.
You can appoint anyone over 18, but we recommend two executors: a trusted family member and a lawyer. Guardians should ideally be practising Muslims, as per Islamic obligations, but Australian law permits non-Muslim guardians too. Our drafts accommodate both views to provide flexibility and legal standing.
Under Islamic principles, adopted and step-children do not inherit by default. However, you can provide for them using the discretionary ⅓. We ensure these gifts are included appropriately in the Will without violating your Islamic obligations.
Yes, charitable donations are encouraged and must come from the ⅓ discretionary portion. We ensure any gift to charity—including a Waqf—is correctly structured to remain within your Islamic obligations and legally recognised under Australian law.
If you die intestate, your estate will be distributed under standard state succession laws—which may contradict Islamic principles. Obligatory heirs might not receive their rightful shares, or non-Muslim laws may override your burial or funeral wishes.
We work with international partners to reseal your Will in courts across GCC, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Property and funds are distributed based on tax-compliant valuations and translated documentation, in accordance with calculated Islamic shares.
Yes. With recent updates like the Succession Act 2023 (SA), remote execution and electronic witnessing are supported in NSW, VIC, and QLD. We offer digital Islamic Will services that are both Shariah-compliant and legally valid—protecting your privacy while fulfilling your Islamic obligations.
We recommend reviewing your Islamic Will every three years or after major life events like marriage, divorce, new children, or property acquisitions. Our after-care service includes complimentary updates to ensure your estate planning reflects your latest wishes.
