Quantitatively, there is a gap between the number of limited religious texts and the enormous reality of dynamic context. Indeed, in the main principle of Islamic law, every activity carried out by a Muslim must comply with sharia rules. The syara’ regulations are religious texts concerning words, actions, or other activities carried out by someone capable of law (mukallaf). To overcome the possible gap between the text and the context, the scholars (ulama) formulate various methods with the result that Islamic law can be a medium of connecting and an effective means of compromising religious texts with one’s activities. With the production of these various methods, the production of texts that have ended since the death of the Prophet Muhammad ± 1500 years ago will still have control and be able to guide humankind. This article discussed how fatwa, as scholars’ thoughts, has a dialectic with society’s reality. In addition, it also explored fatwas’ practical level. In fact, fatwa is one of the efforts to find syar’i answers to various problems arising in human life, especially in modern times

“…As a result, Muslims can have a uniform guideline in addressing religious issues in their daily lives, avoiding disputes that could bring harm to the religion. Additionally, a comprehensive and coherent understanding of the religion among Muslims can provide a clear picture and understanding to non-Muslim communities regarding Islamic laws, thus fostering tolerance among diverse communities with different religions and beliefs (Zulkifli, 2014;Khairuldin et al 2018).…”

Fatwa is an Islamic legal decision issued by a mufti or a fatwa council that holds authority in the Islamic religion. Fatwa serves as a guide for Muslims in practicing Islamic law and addressing issues that arise in their daily lives. Fatwas can cover various aspects, including matters of halal and haram (permissible and prohibited), worship, marriage, transactions, and social issues. Muftis or fatwa councils will study and discuss specific issues and then provide their views on them. While fatwas are discussed from a religious perspective, they also take into account local customs and cultural aspects. Local customs and culture hold significant sensitivity that needs to be preserved to maintain harmony and cohesion in societies with diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds, particularly in Malaysia. Therefore, this paper discusses the role of fatwa as a mechanism for social cohesion and harmony in a pluralistic society, specifically in Malaysia. This study adopts a documentary research approach and utilizes content analysis as the analytical method. The study finds that Malaysia exhibits a diversity of cultures and religions, and fatwa plays a crucial role in ensuring that Islamic practices are in line with local customs and fostering unity among different communities. This paper found that Fatwa plays a crucial role in maintaining unity in Malaysia's pluralistic society. Malaysia is a country characterized by ethnic and religious diversity, and fatwa serves as a guide for Muslims in practicing Islamic law while considering the context of this diverse society. Fatwa plays a role in overcoming divisions and differences of opinion within the Muslim community itself. Fatwas issued by officially recognized fatwa bodies help to generate agreement and consensus among Muslims in practicing their religion. From other aspect, fatwa is the mechanism for unity in Malaysia's pluralistic society functions to ensure that the lives of Muslims align with the religious and cultural values of the local context, while fostering harmony and cooperation among diverse communities in the country.

Islamic estate planning is very important in the life of any Muslims. Indeed, those Muslims who pass away and do not have proper planning on their estate indirectly breaching the bequest guidance as stated in the Qur’an which are the main source of reference for a Muslim life. Regrettably, the noble spirit of Islam is not well accepted, and many are not concerned with arranging their estate thus triggering enormous family debates and increase the unclaimed property after the deceased’s death. The present-day affairs of Islamic estate planning in Malaysia is still not encouraging despite the efforts by relevant institutions and industry players to expand the industry. The initiative was undertaken by the government to form a national institution known as Amanah Raya Berhad and followed by participation of private Islamic estate planning companies to provide estates planning related services. However, thus far only 700,000 individuals have declared wasiyyah as compared to the majority of Muslims among the 30 million Malaysians. The outstanding differences among subscribers of the services and who do not subscribe, open up to a real dilemma within the area of Islamic estate planning. This is the subject that motivates the researcher to study the issues in Islamic estate planning in Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to examine the dilemma faced by the industry practitioners. This research is qualitative in nature relying on the existing literatures from internet website, document analysis and library literature. The scope of this study is relevant and pertinent to the overall Islamic estate planning industry development thus, intended to put forward recommendations for enhancement of Islamic estate planning in Malaysia including the possibility of establishing Shari’ah advisory framework for the Islamic estate planning institutions. Keywords: Islamic estate planning, Dilemma, Issues, Inheritance, Malaysia. Abstrak Perancangan harta Islam adalah sangat penting dalam kehidupan orang Islam. Bagi orang Islam yang meninggal dunia dan tidak merancang sebaiknya harta peninggalan mereka, dalam erti kata lain individu terbabit telah melanggar garis panduan yang telah ditetapkan di dalam Qur’an yang merupakan panduan utama bagi kehidupan seseorang yang beragama Islam. Prinsip utama panduan kehidupan sehingga peringkat kematian yang bersifat menyeluruh yang ditekankan oleh agama Islam nyata gagal diterima sepenuhnya oleh umat Islam yang akhirnya menyebabkan sebahagian dari mereka tidak merancang pengagihan harta setelah kematian. Situasi ini menyebabkan wujudnya perdebatan antara ahli keluarga atau waris yang berhak dan ini menjadi faktor kepada harta tidak dituntut setelah kematian seseorang individu. Perkembangan semasa pengurusan harta pusaka di Malaysia masih tidak menggalakkan walaupun pelbagai usaha telah dilaksanakan oleh pihak berwajib dan pemain industri. Inisiatif awal telah dibuat oleh pihak Kerajaan Malaysia dengan menubuhkan institusi dikenali sebagai Amanah Raya Berhad serta seterusnya kemunculan pelbagai pemain industri swasta dalam menyediakan khidmat pengurusan harta pusaka serta yang berkaitan. Namun demikian, sehingga kini, sejumlah 700,000 individu sahaja telah melaksanakan deklarasi wasiat berbanding bilangan umat Islam di Malaysia yang mencecah 30 juta orang. Perbezaan yang amat ketara ini berhubung individu beragama Islam yang mempunyai wasiat dan yang tidak berwasiat membuka kepada persoalan apakah dilema yang dihadapi dalam pengurusan harta Islam di Malaysia. Objektif kajian adalah untuk mengenalpasti dilema yang dilalui para pengamal industri. Kajian ini bersifat kualitatif dan bersumberkan literatur sedia ada yang dirujuk menerusi laman internet, analisis dokumen dan carian di perpustakaan. Skop kajian ini adalah sangat relevan dan bertepatan dengan keperluan dan perkembangan industri pengurusan harta pusaka. Kajian ini juga bertujuan untuk menyediakan cadangan bersesuaian bagi kemajuan pengurusan harta pusaka berdasarkan kaedah Islam dengan kemungkinan mewujudkan kerangka khidmat nasihat berlandaskan Shari’ah bagi institusi pengurusan harta pusaka Islam. Kata kunci: Perancangan harta pusaka, dilema, isu, harta warisan, Malaysia.
