Frequently asked questions
These answers reorganize the original site’s first-draft FAQ while keeping its claims and linked resources visible.
Where can I get an Islamic will template?

Browse templates (opens in a new tab)Are there books on Islamic wills?

Islamic Will Canada says it does not market or take commission from any lawyer. It shares names it is familiar with; some lawyers volunteer to answer questions in its WhatsApp groups.
See the directory and the source’s linked folder.
Is there a funeral support service?
The original FAQ points to Funeral Support Services of Ontario (FSSO) (opens in a new tab). It states a one-time family membership payment of $150 covers a husband, wife and minor children, with a shared cost if a member dies that it says generally does not exceed $10. These are the source site’s figures; confirm current terms directly with FSSO before relying on them.
Are there Islamic inheritance calculators?
The original FAQ lists these external resources:
- inheritancecalculator.net (opens in a new tab)
- inheritance-calculator.com (opens in a new tab)
- lubnaa.com (opens in a new tab)
- sailanmuslim.com (opens in a new tab)
- miraas-in-islam.com/english/Massail.aspx — the original link is currently unavailable; see the content audit in the repository.
What if I die in Canada without an Islamic will?
The original FAQ lists possible consequences: complications around children’s custody; estate distribution according to Canadian law rather than the intended Islamic distribution; conflict among family members over shares; absent funeral instructions; health administration decisions; and additional stress, frustration or delay for family.
The original FAQ also says a person might be sinful if their estate is distributed in an “un-Islamic” way. It quotes the Hadith cited on the home page (Bukhari 2738) as a reason not to delay. These are the original site’s concerns, not a prediction for every estate.
