Abstract
This paper explores the values ​-​-of justice in the Islamic inheritance system in realizing the sustainability of collective life. Justice is one of the essences of Islamic teachings. Justice in the inheritance law system is closely related to the rights and obligations of the heirs and heirs and society which can be viewed from theological, economic, and social perspectives. The value of justice from the theological point of view is that inheritance law contains justice for His servants and feels that it is part of Islamic law which is a form of obedience to Allah SWT. From an economic perspective, the practice of Islamic inheritance contains justice in the circulation of assets in the family, so that the heirs do not fall into poverty. With the Islamic inheritance system, assets are widely used and can maintain Islamic economic buildings from the form of hoarding of wealth. Economically, the distribution of inheritance can help equitable distribution of wealth, reduce inequality in the distribution of wealth, and can motivate heirs before death to actively seek sustenance so as not to leave poor offspring. While in social justice, living in Islam cannot be separated so that people who get the excess of the favors that Allah has given in the form of inheritance are obligated to provide for their families who can^t afford it. The implementation of inheritance law in the perspective of social justice is basically to ensure order and justice for the transfer of assets from the deceased to their heirs. Justice is meant to treat the same or not to distinguish one person from another. In other words, there are equal rights. This shows that Islamic inheritance law has provided social security for underprivileged families. If the Islamic inheritance system is practiced properly and correctly, it will realize the sustainability of collective life.
