Islamic Wills in Moncton

How do I make an Islamic will in Moncton?

The same way as anywhere in New Brunswick — and that is the point worth understanding. There is no Moncton 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 Moncton 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 Moncton mosque with a confirmed service, from each organisation’s own published information.

Where Moncton’s mosques bury

Moncton’s mosques name 1 burial ground on their own funeral pages. That is confirmation from the masjid, not from the cemetery.

Burial grounds in Moncton

Moncton Muslim Cemetery — a Muslim section within a wider cemetery. Established 2009 (led by engineer Abdel Latif Sallaj and the late Dr. Mohammed Sadek Eid), administered by Moncton Muslim Cemetery Inc./Trust. It is a dedicated Muslim burial ground within or adjoining Alderwood Cemetery Ltd in Riverview, so it is recorded here as a Muslim section rather than a standalone all-Muslim cemetery; whether the Muslim grounds are legally a separate cemetery is not stated and is left unconfirmed. The site says 'all Muslims may use this cemetery' - that is an eligibility statement, not a statement of exclusivity. About 300 plots have been purchased to date; total capacity and plots remaining are not stated. Physically in Riverview, NB, immediately across the river from Moncton.

Mosques that name it on their own funeral pages: Moncton Muslim Association (Moncton 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.
