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.
