Alternative Distribution of Muslim Community Heritage in Kampung Kauman Yogyakarta

Abstract

The law of Islamic inheritance has been largely abandoned by the Indonesian Islamic community either directly or indirectly. This phenomenon illustrates that there has been a refraction of the sense of justice in settling inheritances in accordance with Islamic inheritance law. This shows that the values contained in the Qur'an regarding inheritance verses require a clear understanding according to the conditions and sense of justice while still paying attention to the purpose of the shari'a of Islamic law. In the distribution of inheritance, there are often problems when dividing the shares, so there are several  alternatives in dividing the inheritance. The division of inheritance often causes disputes in the family, this journal examines alternative distribution that can be done if there are still problems in the distribution of inheritance for heirs based on positive law and Islamic law. A balance between rights and obligations will always be present from every wise and wise decision, including in the matter of property distribution. Every right of a male or female heir in obtaining property must be directly proportional to the needs and responsibilities needed for a more peaceful balance in life.
