Islamic Wills in Fredericton

How do I make an Islamic will in Fredericton?

The same way as anywhere in New Brunswick — and that is the point worth understanding. There is no Fredericton will law. Wills are provincial, so the rules that decide whether your will is valid are New Brunswick’s. What is genuinely local is everything around the will: which mosques here can perform a janazah, where they bury, and what it costs.

1. Work out the shares. The faraid calculator gives every heir’s fraction under the school you follow, with a written report you can hand to a drafter.
2. Meet New Brunswick’s formalities. This is the part that decides whether the document works at all — valid (the New Brunswick formalities in full).
3. Check your beneficiary designations. An RRSP, a TFSA or a life policy with a named beneficiary may pass outside the estate under Canadian law — whether it also sits outside the tarikah is disputed among contemporary scholars, so do not assume it escapes the shares.
4. Have it drafted. The Registry does not draft wills. Treadstone Law, an independent Ontario firm, handles the drafting side.
5. Record where it is kept — free, and it is what lets your executor find it.

Mosques in Fredericton with janazah services

An Islamic will usually records burial wishes — ghusl, kafan, burial without delay. A janazah needs physical facilities: a mortuary, cold storage, a washing room. Not every mosque has them.

These are the 1 Fredericton mosque with a confirmed service, from each organisation’s own published information.

Where Fredericton’s mosques bury

• FIA Cemetery

Burial grounds in Fredericton

FIA Cemetery — an entirely Muslim cemetery. Dedicated FIA-owned cemetery on Lincoln Road, described on FIA's own site as 'opposite Fredericton Airport'. FIA's own contact page gives the mosque's mailing address (130 Lincoln Road E3B 2A3) for the cemetery; independent mapping/directory sites (Find a Grave, Cybo, Chamber of Commerce) instead list the cemetery's own postal code as Lincoln Rd, Lincoln Parish, NB E3B 7E4 - the exact plot address may differ slightly from the mailing address shown here.

Mosques that name it on their own funeral pages: Fredericton Islamic Association (FIA Masjid).

What a burial costs here

The order of payment matters for a will: funeral expenses come out first, then debts, then any bequest — capped at one third — and only then are the fixed shares calculated. A large funeral bill shrinks every heir’s share. See the itemised costs for this region, with the plot, the grave opening and the mosque’s own fee separated.

Islamic schools, for the guardianship clause

A will names a guardian for children under 18, and families often want that person to keep the children in Islamic education. We list 1 school in Fredericton: FICE - Fredericton Islamic Children Education. All Fredericton listings ›
