Prescribed for you when death approaches [any] one of you if he leaves wealth [is that he should make] a bequest for the parents and near relatives according to what is acceptable – a duty upon the righteous -Qur’an 2 : 180
To males belongs a share of what was left by parents and closest relatives, and to females belongs a share of what was left by parents and closest relatives, be it little or much—a portion decreed. —Quran 4:6
The Islamic law of inheritance is a religiously mandated fixed-heirship system. That means that upon death, a Muslim's estate is distributed to his or her Islamic heirs according to the Qur'an and Sunna: "an apportionment from Allah”. Islamic estate planning - the process of preparing your estate to pass to loved ones after your passing according to your religious values - can be a complicated and confusing process, which is why you need to enlist the help of an experienced attorney who can educate you on what you need to know and guide you every step of the way!

Testimonials
We recently had the opportunity to educate ourselves from Hani about the US laws of preparing a will or living trust and the impact it can have on the kids/family if you don't have one. Hani is one of the most knowledgeable lawyers in Islamic law and guided us through the entire process end to end. We would highly recommend Hani and his team for those looking to explore will and living trust preparation.

I recently had my living will and trust done by the Cornerstone team and had an amazing experience! Hani Amra personally sat down with me and walked me through the process, patiently explaning what the different options were and what would be best for me and my family. Hani was expeditious yet thorough. His familiarity and expertise helped make such a seemingly complicated process, smooth and hassle free. I would not hesitate to use Cornerstone Law for my future legal needs, and highly recommend you do the same!

Malek Bendelhoum- Associate Director Of Shura Council Of Southern CA
We recently received a rather large bequest, and the only reason this was possible was because of the endowment fund that we established. We cannot stress enough how critical it is to have such a fund set up. Cornerstone Law Services made the process easier than we anticipated. They walked us through the setup start to finish and were readily available to answer any and all questions. We highly recommend Cornerstone, particularly when it comes to something as important as establishing your organization’s endowment fund.
Islamic Shura Council of Southern California
When it comes to setting up an endowment for your non profit,it can seem an intimidating process. We weren’t certain of what direction to go or even of where to start for that matter. This is where working with Cornerstone Law Services really made all the difference. They showed us step by step how the many moving parts came together. Ultimately, because of their guidance and the proactive way they approached our fund, we were able to secure a bequest. For this we sincerely thank Cornerstone and will most definitely continue to work with them in the future.
Islamic Institute of Orange County
I have had the opportunity to work with Hani and his team of lawyers at Cornerstone Law Offices. Recently I engaged them for creating a will and living trust and found them to be extremely responsive to the numerous inquiries and clarifications needed to understand the complex structure of Islamic Will and Estate Planning. Their relationships with the local Imams and Scholars serves as a valuable resource for their clients. Hani was very informative in walking through the process and what to expect, his knowledge with a friendly, direct approach was refreshing.
