ANALISIS IMPLEMENTASI PEMBAGIAN HARTA WARISAN KELUARGA ISLAM DI DESA LOBU RAMPAH KECAMATAN MARBAU KABUPATEN LABUHANBATU UTARA

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of inheritance distribution in Muslim families in Lobu Rampah village, Marbau sub-district, North Labuhanbatu regency, taking into account the community's understanding of Islamic inheritance law, inheritance distribution practices, application of faraid rules, the role of family deliberation, factors affecting the distribution, as well as fairness in dividing the inheritance. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the people of Lobu Rampah village generally understand that the distribution of inheritance in Muslim families follows rules based on Islamic teachings, although understanding of faraid calculations still varies. The practice of inheritance distribution is carried out by first identifying the deceased's assets, determining the heirs, and settling the deceased's obligations such as debts and valid wills. The application of faraid is used as a guide in determining the shares of heirs, while family deliberations play a role in deciding how the distribution is carried out and in maintaining family harmony. The division of inheritance is also influenced by the level of religious understanding, the condition and type of assets, family relationships, the economic situation of the heirs, societal customs, and communication among family members. The concept of justice is understood not merely as dividing property equally, but as giving each heir their rightful share according to Islamic law. Therefore, increasing public understanding of faraid knowledge, strengthening the role of religious leaders, and carrying out open family deliberations are necessary so that inheritance can be distributed orderly, in accordance with Islamic provisions, and help reduce potential family disputes
