If you are a Muslim Convert

Syariah Implication: If you die without a will, your non-Muslim relatives including your non-Muslim parents, are not entitled to your estate under faraidh.

• If you are not married, the balance goes to Baitul Mal.
• If you have a wife and no children, your wife gets 1/4 and the balance goes to Baitul Mal.
• If you have a husband and no children, your husband gets 1/2 and the balance goes to Baitul Mal.
• If you have a wife and a daughter, your wife gets 1/8, your daughter gets 1/2 and the balance goes to Baitul Mal.
• If you have a wife, son and daughter, your wife gets 1/8, your children get the balance, with your son getting twice the share of your daughter.
