If a client comes to you and says "I want an English will which is compliant with Scots/Portuguese/Icelandic law", you presumably say "I can draft you an English will, but I'm not qualified or competent to advise you on whether it complies with Scots/Portuguese/Icelandic law: you need to check that angle with a Scottish/Portuguese/Icelandic lawyer".

Why is the answer not the same if a client wants an English will which complies with Sharia succession laws? Am I missing something? Does reading the Practice Note make all English solicitors competent to advise Sharia succession laws?
