The Study of Maqashidi Sharia Toward Maduresse Traditional Inheritance by Using System Approach

Abstract

Abstract: In traditional societies such as Maduresse who carry out religious teaching strongly, women in certain contexts are generally positioned in the lower position than men. However, in the cultural context of Maduresse inheritance, women are on the equal footing with men. Even, parents give more priority on the legacy to their daughters. The purpose of this study is to understand the phenomenon of the women position in traditional Maduresse legacy by using maqâshid sharia particularly the system approach. The use of system approach aims to explain parts that influence the position of women in Maduresse traditional inheritance system and determine the legislation ratio on the legal phenomenon. This research discovers that women in Madurese society are considered not only as passive family members, but also as a symbol of honor and sustainability in Madurese family. These arguments make Maduresse’s understanding on the inheritance verses more comprehensive. Therefore, women are positioned equal with men for the legacy distribution in Madura traditional inheritance. Keywords:
