Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using islamicestatecalculator.com (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please discontinue use of the Site immediately.

2. Description of Service

Islamic Estate Calculator provides a free, browser-based Islamic inheritance (Faraid) calculation tool, educational blog content, and related resources to assist Muslims in understanding and planning for Islamic estate distribution. The service is provided free of charge and without registration.

3. No Legal or Religious Advice

IMPORTANT: The calculations and information provided by this Site constitute general educational guidance only. They do not constitute:

• Legal advice or a legal opinion
• A fatwa or Islamic religious ruling
• Financial advice or a financial plan
• A substitute for professional estate planning services

For complex estates, contested distributions, cross-border assets, or situations involving unusual family structures, you must consult a qualified Islamic scholar and a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction. Do not make final legal or financial decisions based solely on the output of this calculator.

4. Accuracy and Limitation of Liability

We make every effort to implement Islamic inheritance rules correctly and in accordance with the scholarly consensus across the four Sunni madhabs. However, Islamic jurisprudence is a complex science, and edge cases may not be handled correctly by automated tools.

We expressly disclaim liability for any financial loss, legal dispute, family conflict, or other harm arising from reliance on the calculator's output. The tool is a starting point and reference — not a final authority.
