Faraid is the Islamic law of inheritance that determines how a Muslim’s estate is distributed after death, based on Quranic principles. It ensures fairness and justice among heirs.
Eligible heirs typically include:
Spouse (husband or wife)
Children (sons and daughters)
Parents
Grandparents
Siblings
However, the exact entitlement depends on who is alive when the deceased passes away.
Each heir’s share is fixed by the Quran and Sunnah, and it depends on their relationship to the deceased and the presence of other heirs.

No. A will in Islam can only cover up to one-third (⅓) of the estate and cannot be given to existing heirs unless they all agree.
If no will exists, the estate will still be distributed according to Faraid. However, it may cause delays or disputes if documentation is incomplete. It’s recommended to have a Faraid plan in place.
Yes. Women are entitled to inheritance under Faraid. The share differs based on their relationship — for example, a daughter receives half the share of a son, reflecting her financial rights and responsibilities in Islam.
Faraid applies after death — distribution is based on Islamic law.
Hibah is a gift made during one’s lifetime and not subject to Faraid rules.

If an heir dies before the estate is distributed, their share will pass to their own heirs through another round of Faraid calculation.
All assets owned solely by the deceased, such as:
Cash and savings
Properties
Vehicles
Investments and business shares
Personal belongings
Jointly owned or nominated assets (like EPF, insurance) may need verification of ownership status first.
