The Prophet ﷺ said:
“It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to will to stay for two nights without having his Last Will and Testament written and kept ready with him.”
As a medical professional, you spend your life caring for others — but many physicians delay putting a clear plan in place for their own families.
Between incorporated practices, real estate, investments, and complex family responsibilities, estate planning is not always straightforward. Without proper structuring, even well-intentioned plans can lead to delays, unnecessary taxes, and outcomes that may not align with Islamic principles.
This session is designed specifically for Muslim physicians in Canada to help you put a clear, compliant, and practical plan in place — without overcomplicating the process.
