It is generally known that the Minangkabau community adheres to a matrilineal family system, which means attracting bloodlines from the mother or woman. Departing from the matrilineal kinship system embraced by the Minangkabau indigenous peoples, causing some things that are harmonized in religion because if someone dies, then the most entitled to get the inheritance is ashãb al-furũd Deangan can be known that the amount of division between Islamic law and the customary law of the Minangkabau indigenous people is very contradictory. Research methods use normative juridical legal research methods, normative juridical law research research that uses the source of literature collected to be researched and analyzed and with this type of approach through legislation. The result is that the assimilation of minangkabau customs with Islam occurs gradually, called (tadriij) or effolusion peacefully, which at first reads ”RUMAH BASANDI BATU,ADAT BASANDI ALUA JO PATUIK” turned into“ADAT BASANDI SYARAK, SYARAK BASANDI KITABULLAH, AL QURAN” . Minangkabau knows several heirlooms, namely high heirlooms, low heirlooms, Sako-sako, and Hak ulayat. The high heirlooms of his heirs are family members of the maternal lineage while for low inheritance, passed down under Islamic inherited law.
