Our Verdict
Wassiya is Canada's budget Islamic will generator - a guided online package covering Faraid heirs, capped bequests, executors, and guardians at a fraction of typical legal fees. It stands out for handling provincial formalities explicitly (holograph vs witnessed), but publishes no Sharia board or named scholar, so verify the distribution output with a knowledgeable reviewer.
Pros & Cons
What We Like
- Cheapest complete Islamic will package in Canada
- Province-aware: holograph vs witnessed guidance per province
- One-time payment with free re-downloads for a year
What Could Be Better
- Zero named humans or legal entity: no scholar, lawyer, founder, or address anywhere - the only contact is an email address, making the operator unverifiable
- The actual faraid distribution schedule ('Islamic Inheritance Schedule, Appendix A') is not published publicly, so you can't inspect the shares logic before buying
- Explicitly not suitable for Québec residents, and downloaded documents are non-refundable
- Internal contradiction: the homepage POA module advertises 'Québec notes' while the Terms exclude Québec
- Online generator only - no lawyer review tier
Who Is Wassiya Best For?
Cost-conscious families with simple estates
The $40-$56 packages cover a Faraid-aligned will, POA, and funeral instructions at the lowest published price in Canada
Residents of provinces that recognize holograph wills
Wassiya explicitly supports the handwritten (holograph) format with province-specific guidance - rare among online will tools
Detailed Analysis
Wassiya (wassiya.ca) is the cheapest complete Islamic will package in Canada: $40 CAD for the will alone or $56 CAD for the Complete Package - will, power of attorney, emergency instructions, personal inventory, and personal letters/naseeha - as one-time payments with free re-downloads for a year (both prices shown as 20%-off sale prices from $50/$70). Documents generate as PDFs in English or French through a 10-step wizard taking about 30 minutes, and the flow includes a step most competitors skip: documenting missed prayers, fasts, and Zakat obligations (fidya/kaffarah territory) alongside funeral instructions.
The Islamic engineering is presented modestly and hedged carefully. Estate distribution can be specified by percentage, per-asset, or by electing the 'Islamic Inheritance Schedule (Appendix A)' - but that faraid schedule itself is not published publicly, so the shares logic can't be inspected before purchase. The disclaimer states the platform follows 'general Islamic inheritance principles as commonly understood by mainstream Sunni scholarship,' 'does not issue fatwas,' and presents 'one generally accepted approach' - honest hedging, but with no scholar, madhhab, or methodology named to anchor it.
Operator transparency is the profile's weakest point: no founder, scholar, lawyer, legal entity, or physical address appears anywhere on the site - the sole contact is an email address, payments run through Stripe, downloaded documents are non-refundable, and liability is capped at the price paid. Legal scope is common-law provinces only, with the Terms explicitly stating the product is 'not suitable for residents of Québec' - even as the homepage's POA module advertises 'Québec notes,' an internal contradiction worth knowing about. The platform is live and actively maintained, with Terms updated April 2026 and privacy/disclaimer pages updated June 2026.
How It Works
Wassiya sells self-serve document generation, not legal or religious services: you complete the wizard, pay once ($40/$56 CAD via Stripe), download PDFs, and execute them yourself - either as a holograph will (handwritten, no witnesses, valid only in provinces that recognize holographs) or a witnessed will with province-specific signing guidance. Islamically, it encodes faraid-aligned distribution (via the unpublished Appendix A schedule), the one-third bequest cap, funeral instructions, and religious-debt documentation, under an explicit no-fatwa disclaimer aligned with 'mainstream Sunni scholarship.'
Shariah Compliance Review
Oversight Level
Review details on provider's website
Wassiya generates wills aligned with Islamic inheritance principles but does not publicly disclose a Sharia advisory board, named scholar, or third-party certification.
No Sharia oversight of any kind is disclosed: no scholar, board, certification, or named reviewer appears anywhere on wassiya.ca. The platform's own disclaimer (verbatim from our July 2026 crawl) says it follows 'general Islamic inheritance principles as commonly understood by mainstream Sunni scholarship,' 'does not issue fatwas,' and presents 'one generally accepted approach.'
The faraid schedule that would let a buyer verify the distribution logic is not public - it exists only as 'Appendix A' inside purchased documents. Have the generated will's distribution reviewed by your imam or a knowledgeable scholar, especially for blended families or non-standard heir situations.
The operator is anonymous (no entity name or address; email-only contact), documents are non-refundable once downloaded, and the product is limited to common-law provinces - Québec's civil-law regime is explicitly excluded.
Shariah compliance should always be verified directly with Wassiya. HalalWallet reports publicly available oversight information but does not issue fatwas or certify compliance.
How It Compares
Against MyAmana ($89-$179), Wassiya is roughly half the price and adds naseeha letters and religious-debt documentation, but lacks MyAmana's published inheritance-calculator logic. Against Manzil Wills ($99-$149), the gap is governance: Manzil publishes real Shariah credentials while Wassiya names nobody. Wassiya's distinctive strengths - provincial formality handling (holograph vs witnessed) and the missed prayers/fasts/Zakat step - make it the best pure-budget starting point, provided someone knowledgeable reviews the output.
vs. Manzil Wills
Manzil costs more ($99-$149) but carries formal AAOIFI-aligned Shariah governance - the stronger choice if oversight transparency matters to you.
vs. MyAmana
MyAmana (from $89) adds a built-in inheritance calculator and two years of unlimited updates - better if your circumstances are likely to change.
Bottom Line
A well-priced starting point for a Canadian Islamic will - pair it with a review by your imam or a lawyer if your estate is anything but simple.

The flow includes Islamic funeral instructions and a dedicated step for missed prayers, fasts, and Zakat. No scholar or board is named anywhere.
