as-Salihin Trustee as-Salihin Wasiat Writing
Islamic Estate Planning in Sabah
Islamic will (wasiat) writing from as-Salihin Trustee Berhad, a trust company registered under the Trust Companies Act 1949 that specialises exclusively in Islamic estate planning. Wider shelf includes executor appointment, estate administration, trusts, hibah declarations (Pri-Hibah), takaful trusts, waqf and a faraid calculator. Pricing is not published on the site (wasiat service page, crawled 2026-08-07).
For governance-first buyers, as-Salihin is the standout: four named scholars including Prof. Engku Rabiah Adawiah, published with profiles, overseeing a pure Islamic estate planning house. The practical planning toolkit (wasiat, Pri-Hibah, takaful trusts, waqf) covers combinations that generic will writers cannot structure. Pricing opacity is the drawback, standard for this industry, so treat the consultation as a quote exercise. Pair its drafting strength against AmanahRaya's execution muscle when choosing (site, crawled 2026-08-07).

as-Salihin Trustee in Sabah

In-Depth Analysis
as-Salihin Trustee Berhad (registered 2004, Trust Companies Act 1949) does one thing: Shariah-based estate planning. The service shelf spans wasiat writing, executor appointment, estate administration, Pri-Hibah declarations, takaful trusts (Pri-TI), business succession (Pri-Niaga), elderly trusts (PRI-EMAS), waqf and joint-asset agreements, with a faraid calculator on-site (services pages, crawled 2026-08-07).
Governance is the headline: the Lembaga Penasihat Syariah page names Prof. Madya Dr. Siti Mashitoh binti Mahamood (chairman), Dato' Indera Hj. Ab Karim bin Hj. Ab Rahman, Prof. Dr. Engku Rabiah Adawiah and Prof. Madya Dr. Jasni bin Sulong. Engku Rabiah is among the most senior Shariah scholars in Malaysian finance, and publishing the board with profiles puts as-Salihin ahead of every competitor we compared for wills governance disclosure.
Its educational content is unusually honest about faraid mechanics, spelling out who does not inherit (adopted children, non-Muslim family members) and why the one-third wasiat allocation exists, which is exactly the planning conversation many Malaysian Muslim families need.

How as-Salihin Trustee Compares
as-Salihin outmatches AmanahRaya on Shariah governance disclosure and instrument breadth but cannot match the public trustee's execution machinery and permanence. Against Wasiyyah Shoppe it is the scholar-led generalist versus the hibah-focused innovator.
Government permanence and gazetted execution officers.
Hibah specialisation with digital akad instruments.
