What is faraid and how does it work in Canada?

The Canadian position

Canada has no compulsory heirship, so faraid works here only because testamentary freedom permits it.

Canadian law gives effect to whatever a valid will says, so an Islamic concept takes effect here through the drafting rather than automatically.

The Islamic position

Shares are paid after funeral costs, debts and the bequest, with any residue passing to the asabah.

Confirm the position for your own family and school with a qualified scholar rather than relying on a general summary.
