Three services dominate the UK Islamic wills market, and they represent three genuinely different philosophies: a fintech-style online service with named scholarship (IFG), a brand-backed online service with buyer-friendly mechanics (Wahed), and a regulated law firm with fixed fees (Islamicwills.co.uk, run by Farani Taylor Solicitors). All three produce legally binding, faraid-compliant wills for England and Wales. The right choice depends on your estate, your disclosure standards and how much you value a regulator behind the drafting. Every figure below was verified on August 6, 2026.

IFG Wills: the price and disclosure leader
IFG Wills, from the team behind Islamic Finance Guru, charges GBP 98 for a roughly 20-minute online journey ending in a solicitor-drafted will with official Mufti sign-off, and it is the only mass-market service that names its reviewing scholar: Mufti Billal Omarjee, a Darul Uloom Bury graduate formerly of National Zakat Foundation. Co-founder Ibrahim Khan is a qualified solicitor and alim trained under Shaykh Akram Nadwi. The GBP 10 per year subscription buys unlimited amendments, the cheapest will-maintenance model in the market, and the service claims 3,000+ wills handled and GBP 47.2 million in inheritance tax and lost assets avoided over three years, with a no-questions money-back guarantee. It also powers free will programmes for charity legacy campaigns (Islamic Relief, MEND, Muslim Charity among them), so check whether you qualify for a free route before paying. Two honest limits: IFG Wills is not a law firm, so there are no SRA-regulated client protections on the drafting, and fulfilment runs through the wills.cur8.capital portal, which confuses some first-time users. Estates over GBP 2 million get referred to specialist estate planners.
Wahed Wills: the polished brand play
Wahed Wills, from the UK arm of the global halal investing group, charges GBP 125 for its online will, built for estates under GBP 325,000. Its mechanics are the most customer-friendly in the market: you pay only after previewing the completed will, every will is checked by a specialist with amendment feedback, and changes are currently free. The document includes each heir's Quranic share shown as fractions, a comprehensive funeral wishes clause, guardianship, and a wasiyyah facility including cash gifts to UK registered charities. A GBP 30 expert consultation is a cheap way to check whether your estate fits the online tier before starting. The honest weakness, and it matters in this category: the wills page names no scholar and publishes no certificate, a striking gap for a group that discloses its Shariah board on the investing side. At GBP 27 more than IFG with less scholarship disclosure, its natural buyer is the existing Wahed customer who wants wills and investing under one roof.
Islamicwills.co.uk: the regulated solicitor
Islamicwills.co.uk is the marketing name of the Islamic Wills Department at Farani Taylor Solicitors, a London firm regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA ID 560013), claiming 30+ years of Islamic will experience and 40,000+ clients. The Basic plan at GBP 250 plus VAT per person suits estates under GBP 325,000: an initial phone call, inheritance tax liability identification, a Shariah-compliant will drafted within seven working days, and free storage. The Pro plan at GBP 350 plus VAT adds what neither online rival offers at any comparable price: a scheduled in-person (or video) meeting and a flexible life interest structure that tackles the hardest problem in English Islamic estate planning, the inheritance tax cost of honouring faraid on first death instead of using the spousal exemption. Add-ons run GBP 250 plus VAT each (Lasting Power of Attorney, severance of joint tenancy and more), and fees are per person, so a couple budgets GBP 500 to 700 plus VAT. The disclosure gap runs the other way here: full SRA regulation, but no named scholar and no published Shariah certificate; the Islamic accuracy rests on the department's stated specialisation.
The disclosure scorecard
Notice the asymmetry. IFG names its Mufti but is not a regulated law firm. Farani Taylor is a regulated law firm but names no scholar. Wahed currently offers neither a named scholar nor law-firm regulation on the wills product, resting on group brand and specialist checking. There is no option offering both named scholarship and SRA regulation at mass-market prices, which is the genuine gap in this market. Buyers who care most about documented religious oversight should lean IFG; buyers who care most about legal accountability and professional indemnity should lean Farani Taylor; disclosure-driven buyers considering Wahed should ask it to name the approving scholars before purchasing, which is a reasonable question any serious service should answer.
Matching service to situation
- Simple estate, cost-conscious, wants scholar sign-off: IFG at GBP 98, with the GBP 10 per year subscription keeping it current
- Existing Wahed investing customer, straightforward estate under GBP 325,000: Wahed, using the preview-before-payment safety net
- Estate above GBP 325,000 where IHT planning matters: Farani Taylor Pro (GBP 350 plus VAT, life interest included) against IFG's trust-based GBP 348; the price is nearly identical, the propositions differ (in-person solicitor versus online with Mufti sign-off)
- Business assets, foreign property, blended family: solicitor territory; Farani Taylor's fixed fees, or Wahed's bespoke tier from GBP 900 if you want the brand, or a full private-client firm
- Couple wanting the cheapest compliant pair of wills: IFG at GBP 196 total versus Farani Taylor at GBP 500 plus VAT minimum; the online route wins on price by a wide margin
- Anyone eligible for a charity legacy programme: IFG's free routes through Islamic Relief, MEND and others make the price question moot
What all three get right, and none solves alone
All three implement faraid by formula, preserve the wasiyyah third, include guardianship and funeral clauses, and produce documents valid in England and Wales. None covers Scotland, whose separate succession law needs local drafting (our Scotland guide explains). None fixes the assets that pass outside wills, pension nominations, joint tenancies, insurance beneficiaries, which you must align yourself, as our complete Islamic wills guide details. And none removes the need to actually sign before two independent witnesses; a perfect draft unsigned is legally nothing.

Bottom line
For most Muslim households in England and Wales, IFG at GBP 98 is the rational default: cheapest, named scholarship, unlimited updates for GBP 10 a year. Wahed earns its premium only through brand affinity and the preview mechanic. Farani Taylor earns its premium properly once estates cross the nil-rate band or the family needs a solicitor across the table. Whichever you choose, choose this month; the intestacy rules are running right now. All prices and terms verified August 6, 2026 at HalalWallet's estate planning page.
