Strengths and trade-offs

Manzil

  • Backed by Canada's first AAOIFI-member Islamic fintech with a formal Shariah Supervisory Board
  • Madhhab selection for inheritance calculation, plus POA and living-will provisions
  • Publishes transparent pricing ($99 Legal Essentials / $149 Premium Coverage)
  • Funeral and burial wishes plus an asset list template and detailed signing instructions included
  • Not a law firm - no lawyer review of the finished document
  • Quebec's civil-law will formalities differ; confirm validity requirements for Quebec directly with Manzil
  • DIY format means complex estates - blended families, business assets, cross-border property - may still need paid legal review

MyAmana

  • Built-in Sharia-compliant inheritance calculator drives the will's distribution
  • Includes 2 years of unlimited updates and document storage
  • Transparent pricing from $89 CAD with will + POA packages
  • Published faraid methodology grounded in Quran 4:11, 4:12, and 4:176 - verifiable rather than asserted
  • States scholar and lawyer review but does not publicly name the scholars or publish a certification
  • Confirm province-specific witnessing and validity requirements (especially Quebec) before signing
  • Calculator has disclosed limits: 'awl shown unadjusted, radd not computed, and extended-family cases deferred to a scholar

What HalalWallet is and is not

Scholars rule; we organize the evidence. HalalWallet is an independent research and comparison site for halal financial products. It is not a lender, bank, broker or adviser, and it is not a fatwa body.

What we do

  • We document each product's contract, Shariah oversight, costs and availability, with the date we last checked.
  • We show the range of scholarly opinion on contested questions, with sources.

What we do not do

  • We do not lend, hold money, open accounts or take applications. You apply with the provider.
  • We do not issue fatwas or certify any product as halal. Rulings belong to a scholar you trust.
  • We do not give personal financial, legal or tax advice.

Where our role ends and who takes over · Who pays HalalWallet · HalalWallet Trust Standard, version 1.0

Before you decide, finish with three checks:

  • Confirm current terms and halal compliance directly with the provider. Their quote is final.
  • Read the contract structure (Murabaha, Ijara, Musharakah and so on) and any published Shariah board opinion.
  • Bring your shortlist to a qualified scholar or licensed adviser, so the conversation is about your situation, not the basics.
