Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the interaction and mutual influence of the Adat and Sharia in the inheritance law of the peoples of Dagestan. Researchers of the legal culture of the peoples of the North Caucasus often made mistakes when considering this sphere of legal relations, in connection with which attention is drawn to the most characteristic of them. The inheritance law of the peoples of Dagestan was based on a certain symbiosis of two legal systems - adat and Sharia. In this regard, the article reveals the order of inheritance under Muslim law, analyzes the norms of inheritance law contained in the Dagestan collections of adat. Widely considered issues that caused the most heated debate, for example, depriving women of the share of real estate and the use of “Nazra” in the division of inheritance. An analysis of the norms of the adat, fixed in the Dagestan legal monuments, regulating inheritance relations, allows us to conclude that, despite the long confrontation between the adat and the Sharia in this area, the establishment of the latter was of a priority nature. Nevertheless, the socio-economic realities also predetermined the use of the norms of the law of adat, which is still the case today.

Данное обстоятельство привело к тому, что некоторые исследователи правовой культуры народов Северного Кавказа не могут провести четкую грань между адатными и мусульманскими установлениями
К примеру, утверждается, что «шариат предписывал выплату выкупа – калыма за невесту ее родителям, тем самым передавая мужу все права собственника на жену» [1, c. 194]
Особенно часто адат вступал в дело при разделе имущества покойного, если его наследники проживали в разных общинах
Summary
Данное обстоятельство привело к тому, что некоторые исследователи правовой культуры народов Северного Кавказа не могут провести четкую грань между адатными и мусульманскими установлениями. Несмотря на всеобщее признание приоритета мусульманского права в наследственных правоотношениях, часто шариат и адат вступали в противоборство именно в этой сфере, когда одна сторона требовала раздела имущества по шариату, а другая по адату.
