Wasiyyah.

Islamic Will Builder & Faraid Inheritance Calculator

Wasiyyah helps Muslims write a Shariah-compliant will and work out exactly who inherits what under the rules of faraid set out in the Qur'an and classical fiqh. A guided four-step builder covers the testator, the heirs, bequests within the one-third limit, and a formal PDF export. The faraid engine computes every share as an exact fraction — handling hajb (blocking), awl, radd, and the classical special cases including Umariyyatain, Musharaka, Akdariyya and Kalalah — and follows the position of the school you select across Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali, Ja'fari, Zaydi and Ibadi. Everything runs on the device: there is no account, no server, and the will is stored encrypted behind the platform keystore. Built with React Native, Expo (SDK 57), a 2,000-line pure-TypeScript inheritance engine covered by a 34-case test suite, encrypted MMKV storage, and full right-to-left support across 10 languages.

How it’s built.

Write a Shariah-Compliant Will

A guided four-step builder takes you from your own details, to your heirs, to any special bequests, to a finished document. Nothing is left blank by accident — each step shows what is still missing before an export is allowed.

  • Testator details: name, date and place of birth, address, identification
  • Named heirs with relationship, gender and living status
  • Bequests to people or causes, with the ⅓ limit tracked live
  • Executor, witnesses and special instructions
  • Progress tracking across every step

Calculate Faraid Shares Exactly

Enter the surviving relatives and Wasiyyah computes each share as an exact fraction, not a rounded percentage. The engine handles the cases that trip people up, and explains every result rather than just printing a number.

  • Hajb — who is blocked from inheriting, and by whom
  • Awl — proportional reduction when fixed shares exceed the estate
  • Radd — return of the residue when they fall short
  • Umariyyatain, Musharaka, Akdariyya and Kalalah
  • The grandfather with siblings, and dhawul arham

Eight Schools of Thought

Choose your madhab and the rules change with it. Where the schools genuinely differ — whether the grandfather blocks siblings, whether radd applies, how a spouse is treated — Wasiyyah follows the position of the school you selected and flags cases scholars dispute.

  • Sunni: Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali
  • Shia: Ja'fari, with the full three-class per-stirpes algorithm
  • Also Zaydi and Ibadi
  • Scholar warnings surfaced on disputed cases
  • Verified against Al-Mughni, Al-Hidaya and Minhaj al-Talibin

Export a Real Document

Produce a formal will as a PDF with legal declarations, executor details and signature blocks — or a detailed inheritance statement showing every asset, every share and the working behind each calculation.

  • Formal last will & testament with signature blocks
  • Inheritance statement with fractions, percentages and amounts
  • Court matter details: suit number, court, applicant
  • Choose the PDF's language independently of the app's
  • Ready to print, share, or take to a scholar for review

Ten Languages, Private by Design

Wasiyyah speaks the languages its users actually pray in, with proper right-to-left layout — and it keeps their family's details entirely on the device.

  • English, Arabic, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Hindi
  • Turkish, Malay, Indonesian and French
  • Full RTL layout for Arabic, Urdu and Persian
  • Encrypted local storage behind the platform keystore
  • Delete every trace of your data from Settings, permanently
