Abstract


The concepts of ‘aul and radd are fundamental mechanisms in Islamic inheritance law designed to address imbalances between the prescribed shares of heirs and the available estate. Despite their extensive discussion in classical Islamic jurisprudence, comparative studies examining their formulation and application in the inheritance jurisprudence of the Shafi‘i school and the Compilation of Islamic Law (Kompilasi Hukum Islam - KHI) remain limited. This gap is significant because KHI, as the principal codification of Islamic family law in Indonesia, adapts and reconstructs classical fiqh doctrines within the framework of the national legal system. This study aims to analyze comparatively the concepts of ‘aul and radd in Shafi‘i inheritance jurisprudence and KHI and to identify their juridical implications for the implementation of Islamic inheritance law in Indonesia. This research employs a normative legal method with conceptual and statutory approaches. Data were collected through library research involving classical Shafi‘i legal texts, KHI provisions, and relevant scholarly literature. The analysis compares the normative foundations, legal reasoning, and juridical consequences of ‘aul and radd in both legal frameworks. The findings indicate that the concept of ‘aul in Shafi‘i jurisprudence and KHI shares substantial similarities, particularly regarding the proportional reduction of heirs’ shares when the estate is insufficient to satisfy all prescribed portions. However, differences arise in the formulation and implementation of radd, especially concerning the redistribution of the remaining estate among eligible heirs. Theoretically, this study contributes to the discourse on the transformation of classical Islamic legal doctrines within contemporary Indonesian Islamic family law. Practically, it offers guidance for judges, legal practitioners, academics, and policymakers in promoting consistency and legal certainty in inheritance adjudication. Future studies are encouraged to employ empirical and socio-legal approaches to examine judicial interpretations and the practical application of ‘aul and radd in Religious Court decisions across Indonesia.
