Esensi Keadilan dalam Ilmu Waris Islam

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the basic concepts and concepts of justice in Islamic inheritance law to answer the contradictory concepts brought by Islamic modernist thinkers such as Asghar Ali Engineer and Zaitunah Subhan. To achieve this goal, the author uses a qualitative-descriptive-library research method.

Justice in Islam does not mean equality or adjustment to the conditions and realities of the times. Justice in Islam is more universal for the survival of all human beings on the instructions of Allah Swt.
