Islamic law & Sharia

Matters that engage Islamic law and Sharia sit alongside Uganda's statutory framework. We advise on how the two interact before they collide, and we record the position in writing.

What we do

  • Marriage, divorce and family matters
  • Succession and inheritance
  • Islamic finance documentation

Family and marriage

Marriage, divorce, custody and maintenance, advised with attention to both the religious position and the statutory framework.

Succession and inheritance

Wills, administration and distribution, where statutory succession and Islamic inheritance rules meet.

Islamic finance

Documentation for financing structures that must avoid interest, including the security arrangements around them.

Questions clients ask

Do you apply Sharia or statute?

Both, depending on the matter. The first question is which framework governs; we answer that before advising on the outcome.

Can a will deal with the whole estate?

Within limits. Testamentary freedom is constrained, and the constraints matter for distribution.

Do you advise on Islamic finance documents?

Yes, including the security and registration steps around them.
