About Mizaanly · Our Story & Scholars

Built by a scholar.
Reviewed by specialists.

Mizaanly is a Sharia-compliant Faraid calculator built from the ground up by a practising Mufti — for UK Muslim families who need accurate, trustworthy Islamic inheritance guidance and a document their solicitor can actually use.


The Beginning

The same question, asked by thousands of families

UK Muslims think seriously about what happens after they are gone — what becomes of what they have built, how their wealth reaches the right people, and whether an estate distributed according to the Qurʾan and Sunnah can actually be recognised in a country governed by English law.

As a Mufti practising in the UK, I heard these questions constantly. Families came to me worried and uncertain — unsure whether Islamic inheritance law could coexist with the Wills Act 1837, unsure who among their heirs held a Quranic entitlement, unsure where to go for a reliable answer. The same concerns arose across every background and every estate size. There was no single place to send them.

“They weren’t asking for something complicated. They wanted to know their affairs would be handled properly — according to what Allah has decreed, in the country they call home.”

So I built Mizaanly. I spent considerable time developing the calculation engine, drawing on years of working through these questions with real families. The mathematics of Faraid — Awl, Radd, the four madhab positions, multi-generational chains — had to be correct in every case, not just the straightforward ones. When the platform took shape, I did not release it until I was certain of it. The responsibility was too significant for anything less.

Before release, I asked Mufti Azizur Rahman to review the platform in full. Together with his students — each pursuing advanced specialisation in Islamic jurisprudence — he examined every case the engine handles. After that process of verification and refinement, Mizaanly became what it is today.


Scholarly Review

The scholars behind every calculation

Mizaanly was built by a practising Mufti and reviewed by a specialist in Fiqh and Islamic Economics. Every share in the engine traces directly to the Qurʾan and the four major madhhabs — nothing is approximated, and the basis for every fraction is recorded.

Founder
Mufti Maruf Al Hasan
مفتي معروف الحسن حفظه الله

A Mufti practising in the UK, holding a Master’s in Fiqh from the Markazul Quran Islamic Research Centre, Dhaka. After years of guiding UK Muslim families through questions of estate distribution, inheritance law, and the intersection of Faraid with the Wills Act 1837, he built Mizaanly to provide what those families needed but could not find: a reliable, scholar-built tool that produces a document UK solicitors can actually use.

مفتي عزيز الرحمن حفظه الله

Assistant Mufti and Chief Disciplinary Officer at the Jahura Kamal Islamic Research Centre, Aftabnagar, Dhaka. Holds a Master’s in Fiqh and Islamic Economics from the Islamic Research Centre, Bashundhara. His review of the Mizaanly engine covered standard distributions, Awl and Radd adjustments, grandfather–sibling disputes across all four madhabs, and multi-generational chains. Every share was verified against its source in the Qurʾan and classical jurisprudence before release.

What the review covered
Cases examined included standard distributions, Awl (proportional reduction when assigned shares exceed the estate), Radd (return of surplus to fixed-share heirs), grandfather–sibling disputes under all four madhabs, and multi-generational chains where an intermediate heir had predeceased. Every share was traced to its Quranic source and the applicable madhab position before the platform was released to the public.

Why Mizaanly

What sets it apart

01
Designed for the UK specifically

Mizaanly addresses the gap between Faraid and English law directly. It produces a Solicitor Instruction Letter that a UK solicitor can use to draft a valid will under the Wills Act 1837 — not a general Islamic document that leaves the legal work undefined.

02
Every share traces to its source

Calculations derive directly from Surah An-Nisa 4:11, 4:12, and 4:176. The Quranic basis and madhab position for every heir’s share is recorded in the output. Nothing is approximated or left unaccounted for.

03
Built by a scholar, verified by a specialist

The calculation engine was written by a practising Mufti and reviewed by a specialist in Fiqh and Islamic Economics before any family relied on it. The review was substantive — covering edge cases, madhab differences, and complex family compositions — not a formality.


Transparency

Four commitments Mizaanly does not compromise on

These are not buried in a terms and conditions document. They are stated before, during, and after every interaction with the product.
