Wills in Islamic Sharia

A legal will is a vital document that empowers you to determine how your estate and possessions will be distributed after your death, adhering to Islamic Sharia principles. It is a powerful tool ensuring the fulfillment of your wishes, protecting your heirs’ rights, and preventing any potential disputes or conflicts after your passing. There are two main types of wills:

• Testamentary Bequest (Wasiyya Tamlikiyyah): This type of will bequeaths a specific portion of the estate to a designated individual who is not an heir, with the condition that it does not exceed one-third of the total estate value.
• Instructive Will (Wasiyya `Ahdiyyah): This type assigns a specific person to carry out a particular task, such as settling a debt, building a mosque, or caring for a minor.

Inheritance Division in Saudi Law

Inheritance division involves the distribution of the deceased’s assets to their legal heirs according to Islamic Sharia principles. This process follows several steps:

• Inventory of Inheritance: A comprehensive inventory of the deceased’s possessions is conducted, and their value is determined.
• Identifying Legal Heirs: The legal heirs of the deceased and their respective shares in the inheritance are identified according to Islamic Sharia.
• Debt Settlement: The deceased’s debts are settled from their estate before distribution to the heirs.
• Distribution of the Estate: The estate is distributed among the legal heirs according to their designated shares as per Islamic law.
