It is the first thing lifted from my people.’1 Unfortunately, many Muslims do not realise the meaning and the significance that the Prophet had tried to convey in this hadith. They have known the word faraidh and adopt it in the distribution of property on death of a Muslim. Still, many Muslims have doubts in faraidh. Due to lack of knowledge of many basic but fundamentally important aspects in this regard, disputes in matters of estates and inheritance are an almost daily occurrence. Family bond shatters because of disputes on a small plot of land or a few thousand ringgit of cash. Faraidh is criticised as being unjust to women since it favours men in term of the portion of inheritance they receive. Alternatives to faraidh are looked for to provide better provision for daughters and wives. Consequently, Muslims in Malaysia have been introduced with estate planning products termed as hibah trust or amanah hibah that combines two concepts of Islamic law of succession; hibah and wasiyyah.
