The Concept of Mani’ and its Application in Islamic Inheritance

Abstract

Islamic inheritance explains in detail whether or not an heir is entitled to receive an inheritance. This is done to ensure that a person may only receive his rights and share. Therefore, giving the inheritance to heirs must go through stages and confirm their status as heirs who are entitled to receive the inheritance. Furthermore, this study aims to explain the concept of mani' or factors that prevent someone from getting an inheritance and the form of its application in Islamic inheritance. This research is qualitative research with a type of literature. All research data is generated by searching many books and articles and other scientific works that have a relationship with the research theme. Furthermore, the data were analyzed descriptively with a conceptual approach. The results of the study explain that Islamic inheritance strictly regulates the distribution of inherited assets. Three things prevent someone from getting an inheritance; murder, different religions, and slavery.
