This research aims at determining the reasons and causes for dividing inheritance before the death of the testator, as well as the implications of this inheritance division pattern on the heirs. The disagreement between custom (also known as adat) and Sharia creates an issue in the division of inheritance in Sungai Duo Village, South Solok Regency, Indonesia. In its principle, inheritance is divided after the testator dies. However, in Sungai Duo Village it applies differently, where inheritance is distributed before the testator passed away. This is empirical legal research using a qualitative legal approach, which was investigated through the Islamic inheritance law's perspectives. The data included primary data, which were obtained from interviews, and secondary data generated from document studies. Data were analyzed through several stages, including data reduction, data display, and verification. Based on the research findings, the reasons for dividing inheritance before the testator dies are: first, to avoid disputes between the heirs; second, lack of knowledge of the heirs concerning the Islamic inheritance system, resulting in inheritance division contradicts the provisions of Sharia; third, inheritance division pattern applied in society is dominated by customs that have been passed down for generations, and fourth, the diverse community of Minangkabau and Javanese ethnicity causes their inheritance division pattern to reflect their regional customs. The implication of this inheritance division pattern to the heirs is that there is peace for the heirs in terms of inheritance responsibility because they consider the heirs to have had the maturity and ability to manage the assets of their parents who are no longer able to manage these assets. So that it can improve their children's economies or serve as a support for those who are married. These findings also prove the existence of legal duality, namely Islamic inheritance law and customary inheritance law. However, it appears that customary inheritance law is more prevalent than Islamic inheritance law.
This study aims to find out the basis and reasons for heirs of different religions to get inheritance from heirs who died and how the distribution of inheritance is carried out by the community in Nagari Bancah Kariang, Kinali District, West Pasaman Regency. This research is an empirical research using a socio-legal approach. The data used is qualitative data which is analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The findings from this study are the basis and method of dividing inheritance of different religions in Nagari Preparation Bancah Kariang, Kinali District, West Pasaman Regency is based on the habits that have been carried out by the family so that it has been passed down from generation to generation until now and the distribution of inheritance is carried out equally, regardless of religion. in a family member after the death of an heir. This is done with the aim of maintaining harmony among his family and is considered a fair distribution of inheritance with a family system. Families that have family members of different religions also get an equal share and do not differentiate the income from inheritance to their children to strengthen the relationship between children and their parents. The practice carried out by the Nagari Bancah Kariang community clashes with the Prophet's hadith which clearly states that different religions are a barrier to inheriting under any pretext because ikhtilaf al-diin is one of the mawani '(barriers) in Islamic inheritance law.
