Important: Mizaanly provides educational guidance on Islamic inheritance (Faraid). It is not legal or religious advice. Always consult a qualified UK solicitor and a scholar before finalising estate decisions. The Solicitor Instruction Letter is not a legally binding will.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Faraid?
- Faraid is the Islamic law of inheritance derived from Surah An-Nisa (4:11–12, 176). It defines fixed shares for heirs including the spouse, children, and parents of the deceased.
- Which madhabs are supported?
- Mizaanly supports all four major Sunni madhabs: Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali.
- How much does it cost?
- The calculation is free. The professional Solicitor Instruction Letter PDF costs £29 (one-time per case).
- What does the Solicitor Instruction Letter contain?
- A professional five-page PDF with suggested Gift of Residue clause wording (fractions in words, percentages, and amounts per heir), Quranic basis for every share, wasiyyah instructions, and solicitor drafting notes (executor appointment, STEP provisions, minor heir flag, Wills Act 1837 requirements). The solicitor adapts Section B directly into the will's Gift of Residue clause. It is not itself a legally binding will — the solicitor must execute the will under the Wills Act 1837.
- Do I need an account?
- You can calculate for free without an account. An account is required to save calculations or purchase the PDF.
