Kedudukan Hukum Islam dalam Pelaksanaan Waris di Indonesia

Abstract

Provisions on Inheritance Law in Indonesia are regulated in Islamic Inheritance Law, Customary Inheritance Law, and Dutch Inheritance Law (Inheritance Law of the Civil Code). In terms of the territory in Indonesia and the diversity of culture, religion, and customs in the kinship system in each region affect the enforcement of Inheritance Law in Indonesia. However, problems often arise between the applicable law in religion and the application of local customs. The research was conducted using the Empirical Normative Legal Research Method, where the Law acts as a Norm (Legislation) by taking into account social realities. The results of the study stated that Islamic Inheritance Law was implemented by postulating the basis on the Al Quran and Hadith contained in the Compilation of Islamic Law. Applies to adherents of the Islamic religion and includes Indigenous Peoples who submit themselves to religious law.

Abstrak

Ketentuan tentang Hukum Waris di Indonesia diatur dalam Hukum Waris Islam, Hukum Waris Adat, dan Hukum Waris Belanda (Hukum Waris KUHPerdata). Dalam hal wilayah di Indonesia dan keberagaman budaya, agama, dan adat istiadat dalam sistem kekerabatan di tiap daerah mempengaruhi keberlakuan Hukum Waris  di Indonesia. Namun seringkali permasalahan timbul antara Hukum yang berlaku dalam agama dengan keberlakuan adat daerah setempat. Penelitian dilakukan dengan Metode Penelitian Hukum Normatif Empiris, dimana Hukum bertindak sebagai Norma (Perundang-undangan) dengan memperhatikan kenyataan sosial. Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa Hukum Kewarisan Islam dilaksanakan dengan mendalilkan dasar pada Al Quran dan Hadits yang termaktub dalam Kompilasi Hukum Islam. Berlaku bagi penganut agama Islam dan melingkupi juga Masyarakat Adat yang menundukkan diri pada hukum agama.
