Grants as a Model of Inheritance Prospective Distribution in the Coastal Santri Community

Abstract

The practice of Islamic inheritance law in Muslim communities in Indonesia experiences many obstacles. One of the reasons is that there is still a tradition of sharing assets when the parents are still alive with the kinship system in force. It was found in the transfer of assets by the coastal santri community in Pekalongan City. This paper describes the method of dividing the inheritance of the coastal santri community and the mechanism for solving problems in the event of a dispute. This article is qualitative, uses a socio-legal approach, and is descriptive-analytical. This article finds two things. First, the model for distributing the assets of the coastal santri community in Pekalongan City is carried out using oral grants and deliberations for consensus. Second, prospective inheritance is divided by a grant system equally, without differentiating between men and women. The dispute resolution mechanism is carried out through negotiation and mediation.
