Abstract

Indonesia has unique and diverse systems of inheritance distribution. The customs and tradition of inheritance often cause pros and cons in society. This phenomenon can also be found in the system of tunggu tubang practiced by Semende tribe in the area of Gunung Agung, Muara Enim, South Sumatra. This study aims to describe and analyze the tunggu tubang from the perspective of Islamic inheritance law. This research uses descriptive-analytic method with qualitative approach. The data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The results show that the tunggu tubang, in essence, have two functions. The first is as a habit of keeping the heritage of the ancestors; and the second is as a sole female beneficiary overseen by boys (meraje) to conserve inheritance and strengthen family relationships. The function of maintaining customs to strengthen relationships among family members is not contrary to Islamic Sharia Law. However, the function of tunggu tubing as the only beneficiary is contrary to Islamic inheritance law. In sharia law, male and female have the same inheritance rights.
