Islamic Family Law Concerns

Disputes associated with divorce are often bitter, emotional, and highly contentious, especially when children are involved. For Muslims living in America, the process of finding a resolution can be even more challenging. The laws regarding divorce, child custody (allocation of parental responsibility), and other family law matters in Illinois were not drafted to incorporate Islamic principles. That is why you need an attorney who can help the Court and other attorneys understand the ways in which your faith will affect the proceedings.

Attorneys Ausaf Farooqi and Naveed S. Husain can help you manage all aspects of a divorce under both Islamic law and the laws of the state, including the mahr agreement, your Islamic divorce certificate, and much more. We can also assist with more traditional elements of an American divorce, such as marital property division, child-related matters, and spousal support.

Muslim Estate Planning in Glenview

Inheritance rights and planning for the future are important concepts under Islamic law, and our Prophet emphasized the importance of having a last will and testament written. Unfortunately, studies show that more than half of American adults do not have a will or any other type of estate plan. If you were to die without an estate plan, your assets and property will be distributed by the state of Illinois, which is a violation of Islamic law. At Farooqi & Husain Law Office, we realize that the Qur'an specifies that your family is to receive two-thirds of your estate and that you must determine who will inherit the remaining third. Similarly, your outstanding debts must also be settled in accordance with Islamic law. Our attorneys can help you draft legally sound estate planning documents that meet the requirements of Illinois law while incorporating Islamic faith-based principles.
