INHERITANCE LAW
The systematics of the compilation of inheritance law is narrower when compared to the
marriage law as described earlier. As is the case with the Marriage Law, what is regulated in the
general provisions is the definitions and it turns out that this does not describe the whole of the
meanings mentioned in this Book II. This provision applies in line with the law that applies to the
heir, namely Islam and therefore the issue of his inheritance must be resolved in accordance with
the provisions of Islamic laws. This, is a very principled thing, but in this compilation it is
mentioned at first glance in the formulation of heirs and heirs. The issue of religion is so essential
that there must be an affirmation that religious differences will eliminate inheritance rights, but
we also do not find this in this second book compilation. Just as the heir is Muslim, the heir must
also be Muslim, for this reason article 172 emphasizes the indicator to declare that a person is
Islamic.
Regarding who can be the heir is also not mentioned in this compilation. There should be
an affirmation that everyone who meets the requirements can be the heir and heir who dies
whether he is a man or a woman. Such a right has existed since she was still in her mother's
womb with the provision that if she is born alive, she will get the right, while if she is stillborn, the
part is handed over to other heirs. Article 173 regulates the obstruction of a person to become an
heir, which is basically only in the form of committing a crime against the heir. However, as stated
above, this provision does not state that one's apostasy is the main obstacle to becoming an heir.
This should be added to this article 173. Regarding who the heirs are, article 174 briefly mentions
them, namely heirs due to blood relations and heirs according to marital relations. Then it is
mentioned the priority of each heir if all heirs exist. Unfortunately, here it is not mentioned how
the inheritance of an heir who dies without leaving any heirs at all. This, indeed, is regulated in
article 191 but regarding the distribution of inheritance. Likewise, regarding the more casuistic
virtues where one heir can wear a wall (hijab) of another heir should also be contained in more
detail here
The affirmation of illegitimate and adopted children should also be included in this
section. Regarding children born out of wedlock, it is stated in article 186 that he has a mutual
inheritance relationship with his mother and his mother's family. Meanwhile, regarding adopted
children, it needs to be emphasized that in accordance with the provisions of Islamic law,
adopted children do not inherit their adoptive parents. However, adopted children are entitled to
a share of their adoptive parents' property through other procedures. Here there is also no
provision regarding the time when the distribution of inheritance is carried out, considering the
many tendencies in our place of those who do not carry out the distribution of inheritance, there
are even those who are known as inheritance that is not divided but only enjoyed with all heirs. In
article 175 concerning the obligation of heirs, it is indeed regulated as one of the obligations to
divide the inheritance among the heirs, but when the implementation of the division is carried out
is not mentioned here.
Meanwhile, article 188 regulates the demand to divide the inheritance if there is a party
who does not want to divide it, but it is not determined when it must be divided. In the question
of the size of the inheritance, it can be noted that there are several important points that attract
attention here: a. Regarding the proportion of women and men, it is still strictly maintained that
the proportion of boys is two to one with girls (article 176), although in fact quite a number of
people, including among Muslims themselves, want to determine the equal share between men
and women. But because the Qur'anic postulates on this matter are quite firm, the compilation
of Islamic Law pours it out as mentioned above. b. c. Regarding the principle of deliberation in
the distribution of inheritance, it is also possible. Article 183 stipulates that the heirs can agree
to make peace in the distribution of the inheritance, after each realizes his share. This provision
will open up opportunities, after the parties involved determine their respective parts that they
should receive, then they determine by deliberation, for example, all property is divided equally
among the heirs. The determination of the part of each heir is in accordance with the provisions
of faraid which is generally determined on a case-by-case basis as can be seen in articles 177-
182
One general comment in this section is that most of its articles have many similarities
with what is regulated in Government Regulation No. 28 of 1977 concerning Waqf of Owned Land.
It's just that Government Regulation No. 28 of 1977 is limited to waqf of owned land while
compilation is waqf in general. Du application is indeed impossible to avoid at all, but the existing
reality can give the impression that the compilation of Book III is only a copy of Government
Regulation No. 28 of 1989 by eliminating the waqf of Land Owned to be a waqf only. In
accordance with its original purpose that this compilation will contain Islamic law material raised
from various legal opinions known in Islamic law, this Compilation of Islamic Law must contain
the substantive law of Islamic Law, in this case the material of waqf law as regulated in our fiqh
books. Meanwhile, Government Regulation No. 28 of 1977 should focus more on its procedural
aspects related to procedural issues and other administrative procedures. However, because
Government Regulation No. 28 of 1977 not only regulates procedural issues but also many
substantive legal matters, the Compilation should limit itself to technical matters and deepen
more of these substantive matters. This can be seen later when we discuss the material of the
third book of the Compilation of Islamic Law on waqf.
The general provision, namely article 215, contains descriptions from various meanings.
The four meanings, namely waqf, waqf, pledge and nadzir, are taking over from Article 1 of
Government Regulation No, 28 of 1977. Furthermore, it was added about the meaning of waqf
objects and the official who made the Waqf Pledge Deed. Article 215 paragraph (7) is the same
as article 9 paragraph (2) of Government Regulation No. 28 of 1977. Regarding the function of
waqf regulated in article 216, it is the same as what is regulated in article 2 of Government
Regulation No. 28 of 1977 that the function of waqf is to maintain the benefits of waqf objects in
accordance with the purpose of waqf. Regarding the waqf conditions mentioned in article 217
paragraphs (1) and (2) have similarities with article 3 of PP, while paragraph (3) is similar to Article
4 PP. Furthermore, Article 218 is similar to Article 5 while Article 219 is similar to Article 6 except
here it is added with the text of the oath that must be uttered by the nadzir who is absent
Regarding the waqf procedures regulated in Article 223, it is similar to Article 9, but
because there is a kind of desire to impose the article, waqf in general with Article 9 which
specifically applies to land, a kind of confusion arises. Article 223 does not mention the
certificate as evidence as Article 9, but by mentioning in paragraph (4) letter b "if the object to be
waqf is in the form of an immovable object, it must be accompanied by a certificate from the
Village Head, which is strengthened by the local Sub-district Head explaining the ownership of
the immovable object", in fact, if it is mentioned as Article 9, the certificate of property rights or
other evidence is not as complicated as mentioned above and will not be Creating an impression
for land that has been certified is still needed evidence as mentioned above. It can be added that
the provision similar to what is mentioned above in article 9 is as information that the land in
question is not in dispute. The same thing arises in the issue of registration of waqf objects
(Article 224) compared to Article 10 of PP concerning the registration of waqf of owned land. In
the PP which juridically is indeed related to the registration of land determined by the funds of
the Basic Agrarian Law and PP No. 10 of 1961 registers waqf to the Regent/Waliko- the
municipality which at that time was indeed in charge of the Sub-Directorate of Agrarian which for
the present must be read by the Regency/Municipal Defense Office. This provision is indeed
suitable for land. Article 224 of the Compilation which regulates the Registration of Waqf Objects
which of course includes land/fixed objects and not land or movable objects, stipulates that after
the Waqf Pledge Deed is carried out in accordance with the provisions in Article 223 paragraphs
(3) and (4), then the Head of the Sub-district Religious Affairs Office on behalf of the Nadzir
concerned is required to submit an application to the Sub-district Head to register the waqf of
the object concerned in order to maintain its integrity and preservation. What becomes unclear
here is in the sense of what registration is meant and whether the task of the sub-district head to
register waqf objects is meant and what are the juridical consequences. For land in accordance
with the provisions mentioned above, the registration must be with BPN, so it is still necessary to
question whether it still has to be registered again in accordance with the provisions of article
223 of the Compilation. If this is only aimed at moving objects as well
Regarding the change in the use of waqf objects as regulated in Article 225, it is basically
similar to article 11 of the PP, only the difference is that in Article 11 for the amendment requires
written approval from the Minister of Religion, but in article 225 the change is given with the
approval of the Head of the Religious Affairs Office on the advice of the District and Local Sub-
district Ulema Council. drastic from Government Regulation No. 28 of 1977. Furthermore,
regarding the issue of resolving disputes over waqf objects regulated in Article 226, it has
similarities with Article 12 of the PP, but in redaction which can invite a much different
interpretation. Article 12 of Government Regulation No. 28 of 1977 formulates the settlement of
disputes as long as the issue of land waqf is channeled through the local Religious Court, in
accordance with the provisions of the applicable laws and regulations. Meanwhile, article 226
reads that the settlement of disputes as long as the issue of waqf and nadzir objects is submitted
to the Religious Court in accordance with the provisions of the applicable laws and regulations.
So the Religious Court only examines the issue of waqf objects which in the sense of
Government Regulation No. 28 of 1977 may not be a competition of the Religious Court but the
District Court, because the Religious Court is only authorized to examine and adjudicate cases
about waqf. Regarding the object of waqf, in Article 50 of Law No. 7 of 1989 concerning Religious
Courts, it is determined in the event of a dispute regarding property rights or other civil rights
(which of course is related to the object of waqf) in the case of cases as referred to in Article 49,
then specifically regarding the object of the dispute must be decided first by the court within the
General Court. Article 227 concerning supervision has similarities with article 13 of Government
Regulation No. 20 of 1977. Supervision according to Article 13 is only generally determined that
the supervision of waqf of owned land and its procedures at various regional levels is further
determined by the Minister of Religion. Meanwhile, article 227 stipulates that supervision of the
implementation of Nadzir's duties and responsibilities is carried out jointly by the Head of the
Sub-district Religious Affairs Office, the Sub-district Ulema Council and the Religious Court that
covers it. So here only in a limited form and
Faith and Piety Faith and piety are two words that are closely related to the practice of
human actions, but they are different in their form. Faith can be in the form of behavior, and it can
also be in the form of deeds. Meanwhile, piety is manifested in obedience and obedience to
behavior and deeds or as an application of faith. Understanding the concept of divinity in Islam
can form a solid aqidah in a person. Aqidah jama'nya aqaid is a teaching about faith in the
Oneness of Allah SWT. The broad definition of faith is a full confidence that is justified by the
heart, spoken by the tongue and manifested by deeds (Al-Imaanu 'aqdun bil qalbi, waiqraarun
billisaani, wa'amalun bil arkaan) (Al-Hadith). This understanding shows that faith is the unity or
harmony between the heart, speech and deeds. The practice of this deed will later become a
symbol of piety in a person. The key to piety is only two things, namely carrying out the commands
of Allah SWT correctly, and keeping away His prohibitions. The foundation is a steadfast and
perfect faith. Therefore, to achieve piety forever rests on the foundation of that steady and perfect
faith. The perfection of faith and its essence as it has been arranged well in religious life and then
becomes the main subject of Islamic monotheism, which is known as aqidah. Furthermore, this
aqidah is formed into six things that are the principles of faith and are known as the pillars of faith,
namely (1) faith in Allah, (2) faith in the prophet/messenger, (3) faith in angels, (4) faith in the
books of Allah, and (5) faith in the last day/qiamat, and (6) faith in qadar and qadha. 1. Faith in
God
In believing in these books of Allah, the Qur'an mentions several holy books such as; The
zabur was revealed to the Prophet David, the Torah was revealed to the Prophet Moses, the
Gospel to the Prophet Jesus, and the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad as His messenger.
Although these books came down from Allah SWT, in the course of history, except for the Quran,
the content of the holy books has changed, no longer containing the original words of Allah as
conveyed by Gabriel to the previous Apostles. The Torah and the Gospel, for example, can be
proven to have changed, added and subtracted in content by human hands who are leaders or
religious leaders concerned. One of the proofs is the opinion of Charles J. Adams, Professor and
Director of The Institute of Islamic Studies McGill University, Montreal Canada (1970) who stated
that: "Since the beginning of the twentieth century, scientists have carefully examined the
religious scriptures that the believers of the religion believe contain divine revelation", but after
about seventy years of scholars researching the holy books, They came to a conclusion that it
turned out that the original holy book contained the revelation conveyed by Gabriel only the
Quran. Others are no longer original because there are additional additions adjusted to the
wishes of the adherents" (Mohammad Daud Ali 1997: 215).
Judging from the position of the holy books that came down earlier, according to the
original, they contained the teachings of monotheism or blaming Allah, although the procedures
of worship or sharia contained in them were different. Every Muslim is obliged to believe in the
books of Allah revealed to His prophets and messengers and believe in their contents that
contain Allah's guidance for mankind in his time. The treatises of the prophets and apostles
before the Prophet Muhammad contained in these books are intended for a specific people, for
example the Gospel for the Children of Israel. But the books were no longer binding on their
people when the Qur'an was revealed, because the descent of the Qur'an had abolished or
revised the laws
The law of order and the law of impermanence are the basic laws or sunnatullah that
apply to every creation of Allah without exception. In the Qur'an, these two laws are found in
several verses that explain the beginning and end of man, the earth and the universe. Scholars of
physics, biology and other sciences have revealed a little truth about the nature of the two laws
in their scientific discoveries. All living things experience death. Humans die at various ages.
Animals and plants are gradually experiencing extinction. Minerals such as petroleum, natural
gas, and other minerals are always exploited and utilized by humans so that they experience
depreciation that will one day run out. The planets, earth, moon and other celestial bodies
including the sun as a source of light and energy that are very vital for life, will unconsciously
undergo changes according to their properties. If the process of change is studied and studied
and pondered deeply, then the conclusion is that everything created (beings) and the universe
will be destroyed except for the creator (Khalik) of the eternal Almighty Substance. The Word of
Allah in the Quran
Talking about the nature of human beings, there are several views as follows: a. The view
of Human Science is a very interesting creature, because from ancient times until now it has been
the object of research study by scientists. Almost all educational institutions in the world study
humans, their works and their impact on nature and themselves. Experts have studied human
beings according to their field of study, but until now experts have not reached a consensus on
the nature of human beings themselves. This is evident in the many names of humans (for
example: homo sapiens: intelligent animals, homo economiccus: economic animals and so on.
The Qur'an does not classify man as an animal as long as he uses his intellect. But if he does not
use such a high value of reason, then it is more than an animal as Allah states in His words: "They
have reason but do not think, they have eyes but do not see, they have ears and do not hear. They
(humans) are the same as animals, even more perverted than animals." b. The view of
materialism According to the view of human materialism, it is: - Man is only a handful of land,
from the earth from which he came from, on the earth he walks, from the earth he eats and into
the earth he returns.
Islam and Its Scope The religion of Islam that was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him) is the last and perfect religion that Allah SWT revealed to regulate human
life. The perfection of this religion as a teaching of Islam because it covers all aspects of life, both
as servants of Allah, individuals, members of society, and as creatures on earth. Broadly
speaking, the scope of Islam concerns the following three aspects: - - - The aspect of Faith called
aqidah, which is full faith in Allah as the creator and all creatures that exist as the result of His
creation and all His words. The aspect of norms or laws called sharia, namely the rules of Allah
that govern the relationship between humans and Allah, fellow humans, and humans with the
universe. The aspect of behavior called morality, which is the attitude or behavior that appears
from the implementation of aqidah and sharia. The three aspects above their scope will be
explained in the following chapters. Islam as an Ad-Din or the religion of revelation has many
meanings; submission, obedience, obedience. This means that as a religion of revelation, its
followers must be submissive, obedient and obedient to Allah Swt. The word Islam is a verb
salima which means prosperous, not flawed. From this word, the word masdar was formed,
namely "salamat" (in the Indonesian sense of being saved).
