The tradition of calculating inheritance in walimatul ‘ursy of Jambi Malay community is a social practice that regulates the recording of wedding donations as a form of debt that must be returned in the future. This tradition reflects a reciprocity system that aims to maintain the family's economic balance, but also creates a financial burden for the next generation. This study aims to analyse the tradition of inheritance calculation from the perspective of Maqāṣid al-Syarī'ah, to assess whether this practice is in accordance with the principles of justice and benefit in Islamic law. This research uses a qualitative approach with the method of sociology of Islamic law. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, scholars, and people involved in this tradition, as well as participatory observation of the practice of calculating inheritance in weddings. Data analysis techniques included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing based on Maqāṣid al-Syarī'ah theory and Islamic economic principles related to qardh (debt and credit) and sadd al-dharī'ah (prevention of harm). The results show that although the tradition of calculating inheritance has positive aspects in strengthening social relations and helping to finance weddings, this practice also has the potential to create economic pressures that are not in accordance with the principles of Maqāṣid al-Syarī'ah, especially in the aspects of ḥifẓ al-māl (protection of property) and ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of the soul). This tradition can cause intergenerational financial burden if it is not regulated with a more flexible and transparent mechanism. Therefore, it is necessary to reformulate the practice of inheritance calculation in order to maintain its social values without causing excessive economic burden for individuals and families.
Bahasa Indonesia
In Islamic law, a marriage is happy news that must be spread widely to the public through a wedding reception/walimatul 'ursy without specifying minimum and maximum limits on financing. Of course, as a tradition that has developed in society, the implementation of walimatul 'ursy is in accordance with applicable rules and norms. Some areas of this tradition have different aims and objectives, some give invitation money as a gift and some use it as a loan. This means that this loan must be returned according to the value received. Problems arise when the gift of status by a guest to a shohibul hajah at a reception event is considered a debt and must be repaid when the giver holds a walimah event. In the Jambi Malay community, parents who hold a walimatul 'ursy for their children must have an "inheritance book" which is a guide/record of the value received. This research uses a sociological approach to Islamic law to analyze the tradition of calculating inheritance which is considered a debt. The phenomenon of the tradition of calculating inheritance of debts and receivables in the Jambi Malay community is included in the criteria for tirkah. The positive impact of tradition can ease the burden of financing and strengthen ties of friendship, while the negative impact is calculated as debts that burden the creator and impact the heirs.
