Hibah and Wasiat

Wasiat, an Islamic home planning tool, is used by Muslim Testators to specify how their assets will be distributed after death for noble causes or other uses permitted by Islamic Law. The two primary purposes of a Wasiat are to select a manager and determine whether Muslim wishes to use the option of giving 30% of their abundance to non-recipients.

When certain conditions are satisfied during the donor's lifetime, the hibah, an Islamic estate planning tool, may be used. For instance, the transfer can be undone when someone passes away, returning the recipient to the still-alive donor.

Faraid – Muslim Inheritance
The most typical method of dividing a deceased Muslim's property among their primary beneficiaries following Allah's decision as stated in the Holy Quran and the hadith or custom of Allah's Messenger is known as Faraid. Property held in a joint occupancy is listed as CPF assets under the Land Titles Act, and disaster relief payments to candidates are not subject to fear of dispersion.

Law for Assets
According to Section 112 of the Administration of Muslim Law Act (Cap. 3), the assets of a deceased Muslim who was residing in Singapore at the time of their death are distributed following the tenets of Muslim law and (where applicable) Malay custom (AMLA).

Children custody law
The term "custody" law refers to the authority to make important decisions regarding a child's health and education (including religious education). Similar to civil law courts, the Syariah child custody lawyer takes a similar stance on custody issues: divorcing spouses are typically granted "joint custody" of their child unless it can be proven that one of them has harmed or abused the child.
