Balanced Justice in Islamic Inheritance to Realize Unity and Sustainability of Collective Life

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the values of justice in the Islamic inheritance system in realizing the sustainability of life. The method used in this research is normative juridical with descriptive analysis. The study results show that justice is one of the essences of Islamic teachings.

The basis for implementing inheritance law in the perspective of justice is to ensure order and justice for transferring assets from the deceased to their heirs.

This shows that Islamic inheritance law provides social security for underprivileged families. If the Islamic inheritance system is practised properly and correctly, it will create unity and sustainability in collective life.
