Financing Structure
Sharia Wiz is an estate planning platform, not a financial product. It generates legal documents — primarily Islamic wills (Wasiyyah) — that implement Faraid (Quranic inheritance shares) while meeting the legal requirements of the user's U.S. state of residence. The platform calculates the specific inheritance shares for each heir based on family composition and Islamic jurisprudence.
In-Depth Analysis
Sharia Wiz is an online estate planning platform founded in 2022 that solves a dual compliance problem: creating legal documents that satisfy both Islamic inheritance law (Faraid) and U.S. state legal requirements. This is a genuine gap in the market — many Muslim families either have no will at all, or have a conventional will that doesn't reflect Islamic inheritance shares.
The platform's core value is automating the Faraid calculations that determine how an estate should be distributed among heirs according to Quranic principles. In Islamic inheritance law, specific relatives receive designated shares — a process that can involve complex mathematical calculations depending on family composition. Sharia Wiz handles this automatically.
Beyond the will itself, Sharia Wiz generates a suite of estate planning documents including healthcare directives, power of attorney designations, and funeral instructions. The documents are generated to comply with the specific requirements of the user's state of residence. For straightforward estates, this platform can accomplish what would otherwise require both an Islamic scholar and a state-licensed attorney.
Shariah Compliance Details
- Sharia Wiz implements Faraid — the Islamic inheritance system derived from Quranic verses and hadith — with calculations that determine each heir's share based on their relationship to the deceased.
- The inheritance calculations are scholar-endorsed, reflecting the standard Sunni methodology for distributing shares among designated heirs (Dhawul-Furud) and residuary heirs (Asabat).
- Documents are generated to comply with each U.S. state's specific legal requirements for wills and estate planning documents, including witness and notarization rules.
How Sharia Wiz Compares
Sharia Wiz and MinaWill are the two primary online platforms for creating Islamic wills in the U.S. Both address the same core need — Faraid-compliant, state-legal estate documents.
Both create Faraid-compliant, state-legal wills. Compare scope of documents, pricing, and user experience.
Bottom Line
If you're a Muslim in the U.S. without a Shariah-compliant will, Sharia Wiz is a strong starting point. The combination of Faraid compliance and U.S. legal validity in one platform addresses a critical need.
