Abstract
Islamic inheritance law (faraid) is one of the most comprehensively regulated legal domains in the Qur'an, yet paradoxically remains among the most frequently disregarded areas in the practical lives of Muslim families in Indonesia. This study aims to critically examine the dynamics surrounding the implementation of Islamic inheritance distribution, covering both facilitating and inhibiting factors, as well as its effects on family harmony and social cohesion. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in case study methodology and normative-empirical analysis, this research integrates data gathered through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and legal document review across three regions with distinct sociocultural characteristics: Central Java, South Sulawesi, and Central Kalimantan. Findings reveal that the implementation of faraid among Indonesian Muslim families does not occur in a vacuum free from local customary and cultural influences. Rather, a complex negotiation process unfolds between religious precepts, local traditions, and perceptions of substantive justice among family members. Nonetheless, adequate understanding of faraid provisions is shown to correlate significantly with reduced family conflict following the death of a testator. This study underscores the need to strengthen Islamic legal education within family contexts, as well as the urgency of Sharia-based mediation in resolving inheritance disputes.References
