Social Media and the Interpretation of Islamic Inheritance Law: Insights from Muhammad Abu Rivai’s Instagram
In the digital era, social media has become a key medium for disseminating Islamic legal knowledge. This study analyzes the Instagram account of Muhammad Abu Rivai, which promotes Islamic inheritance law through accessible content. Using a qualitative-descriptive method and content analysis of 30 posts from January 2023 to January 2024, the research examines engagement metrics and content relevance to core inheritance issues. Applying the maqāṣid al-sharīʿa framework, the study finds that the account effectively simplifies complex legal concepts, enhancing public understanding of inheritance law and supporting the preservation of lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl), property (ḥifẓ al-māl), and religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn). However, limited depth and interactivity in some posts pose risks of misinterpretation. The study recommends greater scholarly collaboration and interactive features to improve the accuracy and educational value of Islamic legal content on social media.

Indonesia is a country that does not adhere to Islamic teachings in terms of law; in terms of inheritance itself, Indonesia adheres to three applicable laws, namely, inheritance law according to Islam, civil inheritance law originating from the Civil Code, and customary inheritance law. Islamic inheritance law and customary inheritance law certainly have different provisions and have their own characteristics. Therefore, the author wants to explain more deeply the division of inheritance in Islamic law and customary law in this article. In compiling this article, the author uses qualitative descriptive research, which is a type of library research with sources from journals, books, and other scientific works. In this study, researchers concluded that customary inheritance law and Islamic inheritance law have similarities in the distribution of inheritance, but customary inheritance law sometimes does not comply with the provisions in Islamic inheritance law, such as it is required that the heir must die, in customary inheritance law the heir does not have to die, meaning that the heir must die. Inheritance may be divided when the heir is still alive; not only that, in Islam, men get two parts, and women get one part, but in customary inheritance law, things like that sometimes do not apply. However, they are divided equally between men and women. What makes the difference between the distribution of Islamic and customary inheritance law is that in customary inheritance law, there is a principle of individuality and balance. With the principle of balance, the distribution of inheritance can differ from one another.

This research discusses the implementation of Islamic Inheritance Law for Muslims in Indonesia, which in its application is still not fully implemented for Muslim heirs. When referring to the Law, Muslim heirs are obliged to divide the inheritance property by Islamic law, but in practice in Indonesia, many heirs still use customary law and civil law (Burgerlijk Wetboek) based on various reasons. The purpose of this research is to find out the implementation of Islamic Inheritance Law for the Muslim Population in Indonesia. This research method uses the Law approach method, which is carried out by analyzing various laws and regulations related to the field of Inheritance Law. Based on the results of the research, Islamic Inheritance Law cannot be implemented in Indonesia for the Muslim population because Indonesian society is still influenced by customary inheritance law, either following the individual-patrilinial, matrilineal or bilateral-collective inheritance system. Apart from the strong influence of tradition or customary law, another obstacle is that Muslims do not fully understand the concept of justice and equality in Islamic inheritance law, especially when it comes to the portion of sons and daughters. It is necessary to formulate a national inheritance law system by taking into account the general principles of inheritance and accommodating each inheritance law system in the country.

Substitute heirs are a form of renewal of Islamic law in Indonesia which is then sublimated in the statutory regulations contained in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). The granting of inheritance rights to substitute heirs is the result of ijtihad which is influenced by the sociological conditions of Indonesian society which also has three inheritance law systems, namely civil inheritance BW, Islamic inheritance and customary inheritance. The concept of inheritance in Indonesia at the practical level influences each other considering that the three inheritance models are applied in Indonesia. This research will reveal the concept of inheritance of substitute heirs contained in KHI which is different from the concept of inheritance contained in fiqh books whose designation has been explained in detail qath’i in the text. This type of research is descriptive qualitative based on literature research with analysts data through a descriptive critical analysis approach resulting in a responsive understanding of Islamic inheritance law. This study concludes that the granting of inheritance rights to substitute heirs is a form of modernization of inheritance law in Indonesia by considering the benefit side but creates several legal consequences by making Islamic inheritance law a law that is zanni dilalah so that it can be ijtihad, causing legal uncertainty and undermining the legal order of Islamic inheritance which is the consensus of the ulama.

Inheritance law is a part of civil law and is part of family law in particular. Inheritance law is closely related to human life, because every human being will experience a legal event, namely death. These legal events will cause legal consequences regarding the continuation of the rights and obligations of a person who has died and also in relation to his family or other people who have rights to their property. The purpose of this research is to know and understand the rights and position of grandchildren in the system of replacing the heirs in Islamic Inheritance Law and Compilation of Islamic Law and to know and understand the legal protection of grandchildren as heirs in the Islamic Inheritance Law and Compilation of Islamic Law.

The science of the inheritance law of the Islamic religion is a developed area based on the centuries-old experience of Muslim scholars. Inheritance is one of the commandments of Almighty Allah, which, when properly performed, brings joy to the heart of a person, brings stability to his social life, and streamlines his relationships. The basic principle of Islamic inheritance law is the observance of the norms of the Koran. In the Islamic Sharia, Allah Almighty emphasized the science of inheritance and explained the problems in detail directly under his guidance. Allah Almighty in His infinite wisdom has shown us an unparalleled system of equitable distribution of the inheritance left by a deceased person among the heirs. In this system, there is no place for disputes and fights between heirs. This article provides a brief analysis of the concept of inheritance used in Islamic law in terms of linguistic and terminological definitions, the main sources of Islam, the Koran, and the hadiths of the Prophet. Issues related to the priority of Islamic heritage, as well as its significance in Islamic law, will be discussed. The basic principle of Islamic inheritance law is based on the norms of the Qur'an, with particular emphasis on rules and decisions. It is argued that the legal system of inheritance in Islam is very different from other legal systems and that no issue in the Qur'an is more detailed than the issue of inheritance. Sharia jurists will present their views on the science of inheritance in Islam and give a brief overview of the manifestations of inheritance law in pre-Islamic Arab society. The basic principles of the right of succession and the share of each female heiress from fard owners will be outlined.
