Best Muslim Lawyers in Singapore
People of the Muslim faith in Singapore are subject to not only the Singapore civil law, but also of Syariah law. This is a complex area, but there are a number of highly experienced and renowned Muslim lawyers working in this field. Muslim law and the rulings of the Syariah Court can affect anyone at any stage of their life, but in particular, it can become very important in the areas of wills and probate, estate planning (such as wasiat and hibah), and also divorce.
These can be stressful and complicated issues to deal with, and law firms with Muslim lawyers with experience in this area of law are highly valued. They can also guide clients through other aspects of Syariah law such as matters of Islamic finance. Here are some of the best for you to consider.
