Family Harmony: Distribution of Inheritance to the Youngest Child in Gunung Meriah Aceh

Abstract

This paper aims to reveal the distribution of the inheritance of the youngest child in Gunung Meriah sub-district, Aceh Singki Regency. This study departs from a phenomenon where the youngest child gets more shares than other siblings, this is certainly different in the fiqh mawaris which explains if there are sons and daughters then sons get a share of 2: 1. This research belongs to the type of field research because the data is generated from informant answers. The data sources were obtained from religious leaders, community leaders, village heads, parents who distributed inheritance and children who received inheritance who had a broad understanding of the inheritance of the youngest child. Data collection was carried out by observation, interview and documentation methods. The results of this study showed that the youngest child in Gunung Meriah District received more shares of inheritance compared to other relatives, both the youngest child was a boy and a girl. The factor of giving more to the youngest child is because the youngest child is more economically less stable than his brother and brother, besides that the youngest child is the most tired and busy taking care of his parents, the youngest child after marriage usually stays at his parents' house. When viewed from Islamic law, the granting of inheritance to the youngest child is permissible because the distribution is based on deliberation and justice.
