Shariah Law

U.A.E is governed by the Shariah Law, which is an Islamic religious Law. It was borne out of the Islamic tradition governing all aspects of life. It regulates all of human activity, national and international, public and private, criminal and civil and is applied by courts. Ultimately, it has its own standards in resolving and enforcing sanctions on various cases. As such, in cases of Inheritance and Wills, certain rules apply. These cases take into consideration the allocation and distribution of shares/properties specified by the defendant or deceased to his family, company and others, following the rules of Shariah Law.

It is standard practice that an individual should be represented by a Saudi licensed and registered lawyer as proceedings will be done according to the rules and regulations of U.A.E. We are a law firm that specializes in all U.A.E law issues and Shariah law, with top lawyers who can navigate through the intricacies of the Saudi legal and judicial systems. Our expertise is solely based on Shariah Wills and Inheritance.
