Muslim.Estate Islamic Will
Islamic Estate Planning in New York
Best for: Free state-specific Islamic will with Faraid calculator
Free state-specific Islamic will builder founded by Hafiz Yaser Ali, J.D. - a hafiz of the Quran with law degrees from Harvard and UC Berkeley who co-authored the American Bar Association's 'Estate Planning for the Muslim Client.' The guided interview calculates each beneficiary's faraid share under Islamic law and produces a legally valid will with signing instructions, covering guardians, executor, and Islamic distribution, with free edits when circumstances change. The standalone inheritance calculator, advance directive, and revocable trust remain 'Coming Soon,' and the platform also white-labels as The Islamic Seminary of America's Online Will Planner.
Muslim.Estate provides a free, state-specific Islamic will built by a Harvard/UC Berkeley Law attorney, with faraid calculations handled inside the will flow (the standalone calculator is still 'Coming Soon'). The platform is live but static - long-standing placeholder services and a dated footer - so treat it as a solid free will builder rather than a growing estate-planning suite. Option to schedule a paid consultation.
Pros
- Broad coverage across 49 states
- Faraid inheritance shares are calculated within the will creation flow
- Free to use
- Founder credentials are verifiable: ABA co-author with Harvard and UC Berkeley Law degrees
Cons
- Trust creation not available
- No attorney review of documents
- Standalone inheritance calculator and several other services remain 'Coming Soon'; site shows limited recent activity

Our Take on Muslim.Estate
Muslim.Estate offers one of the most accessible and broadly available Islamic will-building tools in the U.S. With state-specific wills marketed for every US state (though no public state-coverage matrix is published), automatic Faraid calculation, and a founder with Harvard and UC Berkeley Law credentials, it addresses the gap in state-specific, legally valid Islamic wills.

In-Depth Analysis
Muslim.Estate provides an online Islamic will builder that generates legally valid, state-specific wills incorporating Faraid (Islamic inheritance law) calculations. The platform was founded by Hafiz Yaser Ali, J.D., who holds degrees from Harvard and UC Berkeley Law.
The key value proposition is accessibility: users can create a Shariah-compliant will online without needing to visit a lawyer, and the platform handles the Faraid calculations automatically - determining the correct shares for each heir according to Islamic inheritance rules.
Muslim.Estate markets state-specific wills for every US state - broader reach than most competitors in the Islamic estate planning space - though it publishes no state-coverage matrix. The platform generates wills that are legally valid in the applicable state and includes signing instructions.
Shariah Compliance Details
- Muslim.Estate incorporates Faraid (Islamic inheritance law) for automatic heir share calculation.
- The founder, Hafiz Yaser Ali, J.D., has legal training from Harvard and UC Berkeley Law.

MyWassiyah offers wills, estate plans, and marital/prenuptial agreements in 34 states. Choose MyWassiyah if you need comprehensive estate planning.

Attorney review gave me confidence
What I liked most is the attorney review. You're not just getting a template - actual lawyers look at your documents. That gave me more confidence.

Good platform. The pricing is higher than some of the simpler will services but you get more comprehensive estate planning. Worth it if you have a complex situation.

How to use this comparison: HalalWallet is an independent educational comparison platform - by design, we do not provide financial, legal, or religious advice. We do the research homework so your final checks are quick and personal.
Product structures and Shariah oversight vary by provider, so finish with three built-in steps:
- Confirm current terms and halal compliance directly with the provider - their quote is final.
- Review the contract structure (Murabaha, Ijara, Musharakah, etc.) and any disclosed Shariah board opinions.
- Bring your shortlist to a qualified Islamic finance advisor or scholar, so the conversation is about your situation, not the basics.
