Faraid shares, explained with care

When a family needs clarity on Islamic inheritance, we calculate shares, prepare a distribution memo, and offer a calm briefing — never rushed, never sensational.

Inheritance conversations are personal. We work privately, use careful language with relatives, and never push timelines. Our role is Shariah calculation and written guidance — probate and legal title remain with your solicitor and the courts.

What we will do

  • Collect family tree and asset overview (you provide summaries)
  • Calculate Faraid shares for the surviving heirs
  • Write a distribution memo families can discuss calmly
  • Offer a private briefing call for relatives

HK process vs Faraid

  • HK probate / administration transfers legal title
  • Faraid informs how Muslim families intend to share
  • Conflicts of law may need a solicitor — we stay advisory
  • We do not represent you in court or act as executor
Deliverables

What the engagement includes

From 1,500 HKD for a standard family map. Complex estates (multiple marriages, missing heirs, cross-border assets) are quoted after intake.

Share calculation

Heir list validated against Faraid categories; fractions and HKD illustrations for the estate pool you describe.

Distribution memo

Written advisory memo stating assumptions, school of thought notes if relevant, and open questions for counsel.

Family briefing

Optional calm walkthrough — video or in person — so relatives hear the same clear explanation together.

How we work

A measured sequence

Confidential intake

Family tree, marriages, children, and known assets — shared only as needed for the calculation.

Share worksheet

We apply classical Faraid rules to your surviving heirs and produce the fraction table.

Memo & briefing

Distribution memo for your files; optional family session to answer questions with dignity.

Timing

When families usually call

Estate already opened

We calculate expected Islamic shares to inform family discussions and your solicitor's probate work. We do not administer estates or hold funds.

Lifetime planning

Pair with an Islamic will draft so heirs understand shares before a crisis. Useful when blended families or non-Muslim relatives are involved.
Does Faraid override Hong Kong law automatically?
No. Civil title and probate follow Hong Kong law. Faraid guides how Muslim families often agree to distribute once assets are legally available. A will and solicitor remain important.
What if heirs disagree?
We present the Shariah calculation clearly. Mediation between heirs is outside a standard calculation; we can note disputed facts but do not decide contests.
Can non-Muslim relatives inherit under Faraid?
Classical rules differ from HK intestacy. We explain the Shariah position in your memo; civil rights under Hong Kong law are a matter for legal counsel.
Are you a law firm or SFC-licensed?
Neither. Baashir provides independent Shariah advisory — calculations and memos only. We do not practise as solicitors or give regulated investment advice.

Clarity for a difficult season
