Is it permissable to work as an inheritance and conveyancing lawyer?
Answer
It is permissible for a Muslim to work as an inheritance lawyer.
When dealing with Muslim clients, he should advise them to draw up their wills according to the Shari?ah Laws of Inheritance and Succession. The lawyer should also seek advise from the Ulama regarding the laws of inheritance in Shari?ah. We do not know what is meant by ?conveyancing lawyer?.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
