Wirātha — وراثة

For Muslim families in the UAE, the UK and the US

Leave your family a plan, not a puzzle.

Write a will that follows Islamic law — or your country’s — keep the accounts, papers and passwords your family will need in one sealed place, and choose who can open it.

  • No card needed
  • Save and finish later
  • English and العربية

Three steps. An evening, not a month.

  1. 01

    Write down what you own

    The flat in Dubai Marina, the account in London, the gold, the plot back home — with values, and where the papers and keys are. Sealed in your vault.

  2. 02

    Choose the people you trust

    Your executor, a brother, your own lawyer. Each one agrees by e-mail, and they are who we contact if something happens to you.

  3. 03

    Write the will

    Islamic shares for the Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, Hanbali or Ja’fari school — or your country’s law — gifts of up to a third, and a document your lawyer can sign off.

An illustration based on published statutes and standard scholarly rules — not legal or religious advice. Every family has facts a calculator cannot see; ask a lawyer or scholar before you rely on it.

Without a will, the law where you live decides.

A Muslim’s estate is not divided the Islamic way everywhere. This is what happens by default — and what your will needs to say.

  • AEUnited Arab Emirates

    Without a willFor Muslims, Islamic shares apply under the 2024 Personal Status law — but a court may not follow your school.

    Your school named, each heir’s share written out, and gifts of up to a third.

  • GBUnited Kingdom

    Without a willThe intestacy rules apply: most of the estate goes to the spouse and children — not in Islamic shares.

    A clause leaving the rest of the estate in Islamic shares, each written as a fraction.

  • USUnited States

    Without a willState law decides, and in most states a spouse can claim an elective share whatever the will says.

    The Islamic shares next to your state’s rules, so your lawyer can plan around the gap.

  • PKPakistan

    Without a willIslamic law applies to Muslims by default; a will can give away at most one third.

    The shares worked out for your school, Sunni or Shia, and the one-third check.

Nobody opens it alone. Not even us.

Your vault is locked with a key split into three pieces, held by three people you choose. Any two of them together can open it after a confirmed death. One alone cannot — and Wirātha never holds a piece.

  • Sealed in your browser before it is stored
  • A death is confirmed with documents and by two people before anything is released
  • Every step is written to a tamper-evident log

What is Wirātha?

Wirātha is a digital estate plan. It calculates how your estate is divided under your faith and your country’s law, stores your accounts and instructions in a split-key vault, runs a careful dead man’s switch and delivers messages on the day you choose.

Is Wirātha a legal will?

No. Wirātha is planning software, not a law firm. The will document it exports is a draft to review with a lawyer, because signing, witnessing and notarisation rules differ by country. Every calculation asks for professional review.

Who can open my vault?

Only your chosen key holders, and only together. The vault’s private key is split into three shares and any two open it. One holder alone learns nothing, and Wirātha cannot open the vault without them.

What happens if I forget to check in?

You are warned first, then given a grace period. Nothing is released because of silence alone: the people you chose must confirm before the vault opens or messages are delivered.

Which religions and countries are covered?

Islamic inheritance (Hanafi rules modelled, other schools flagged), the Hindu Succession Act 1956, and the civil law of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada (Ontario), France, Germany, Italy, Pakistan, India, the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia. Other countries show a clearly labelled generic result.

How is Islamic inheritance calculated?

Debts and funeral costs come first, then a wasiyyah of up to one third to non-heirs, then the remainder passes to fixed heirs (faraid) with blocking and proportional reduction where needed. Wirātha applies Hanafi shares and asks for a scholar’s review.

It’s free to begin, and nothing is shared with anyone until you choose to.
