Our product is a teaching aid about Faraid. Faraid is the name given to the Muslim law which determines the manner and order of distribution of the deceased Muslim’s assets. Faraid is applied to the assets of a deceased Muslim which were not given away under the Will left by the deceased and which do not come within the description of any ‘excluded assets’ (I.R.B Law LLP, 2020). Our product can make it easier for others, especially students to understand how Faraid works. Many people though they know about Faraid but they do not care to practice this knowledge and cause quarrels among family heir. Not only that, the lack of understanding causes many people to not know how to solve problems about deceased Muslim assets (Abdul, Low & Partners, 2022). The Faraid Certificate can minimize the negative complications surrounding the distribution of estate from fraud or hiding from the entitled heirs, manipulation between heirs and their relatives as the certificate contains details of the heirs and the parts to be received which are valid by law (My Government, 2023). Although there are many guides on Faraid out there, it is mostly in a book form and it is hard to read and understand its content especially for elderly and beginner to understand. So in order to solve this problem and difficulty we invent this teaching aid which is a simplified version of Faraid knowledge that is easier to understand. This product is aimed especially for students and lecturers in school and university. We are thinking of collaborating with Majlis Agama Islam because this product is under Islamic topics to get more accurate and detailed information.
