Teori Batas Kewarisan Muhammad Syahrur dan Relevansinya dengan Keadilan Sosial

Abstract

The provision of inheritance between men and women with the current ratio of 2: 1 is considered not to provide an equal share and has not yet reflected the value of justice. This paper intends to study the views of Muhammad Syahrur related to the 2: 1 concept in faraidh science. This research is a qualitative study by presenting data descriptively. The results of this study indicate that the concept of the limit theory offered by Muhammad Syahrur is a proportional division between sons and daughters, where sons get 2 portions as the maximum limit, not more but maybe less. While the daughters get one portion as the minimum limit and therefore, it is still possible to get more but cannot be less. In certain conditions, daughters and sons can get an equal share of the inheritance. The theory offered by Muhammad Syahrur is relevant to the values of social justice, especially if women provide for family expenses. In this condition, women's rights are increased by not exceeding the corridors or limitations of God's law.
