Islamic Wills in Regina

How do I make an Islamic will in Regina?

The same way as anywhere in Saskatchewan — and that is the point worth understanding. There is no Regina will law. Wills are provincial, so the rules that decide whether your will is valid are Saskatchewan’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 Saskatchewan’s formalities. This is the part that decides whether the document works at all — valid (the Saskatchewan 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 Regina 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 3 Regina mosques with a confirmed service, from each organisation’s own published information.

The other 4 Regina mosques we list have not published a funeral service. A blank is not a no — it means we could not confirm it.

Where Regina’s mosques bury

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

Burial grounds in Regina

Regina Muslim Cemetery — an entirely Muslim cemetery, about 20 acres. Saskatchewan's Muslim cemetery for the Regina community, at Richardson roughly 20 km south of the city (IAOS gives the location as Fleet Street South near the Regina Bypass, postal code S0G 4G0). Built by the Islamic Society of Regina, which raised $300,000, owns the 20 acres of land, and opened it in 2021 after about two and a half years of work. IAOS Regina's burial program also buries here and covers the plot plus grave opening and closing. Two contact routes: ISR's Shahid Khawaja on 306-209-3912, or the IAOS funeral line on 306-201-6545. No cemetery office phone, plot inventory or per-plot price list is published - a family should call before relying on availability.

Mosques that name it on their own funeral pages: Islamic Association of Saskatchewan (Regina) Inc. · Islamic Society of Regina.
