People have the right to specify in their wills where there property goes, and courts try to figure it out as best they can. For example, I could write in my will to divide it in accordance with the Canon law of the Catholic Church, or in accordance with the neutral arbitration of Judge Smith, or in accordance with the charter of my foundation. Assuming the courts could figure out my wishes, they would do so.
To treat "in accordance with sharia law" as different than those other things would seem to be blatant religious discrimination.
They can not enforce laws in their wills. If that were true you could have someone killed and say you had a 1st amendment right. The 1st amendment has nothing to do with property anyway.
