<![CDATA[Abstract: The practice of inheritance distribution plays a crucial role in maintaining family harmony and social stability. This study aims to analyze the traditional inheritance distribution practice in Sananrejo Village, Turen Subdistrict, Malang Regency, through the "Kertoaji" approach, which converts inherited assets into monetary value based on family consensus. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with village officials such as the modin, as well as direct observation of the community. Thematic analysis was employed to identify practice patterns and influencing factors. The findings show that the "Kertoaji" approach is effective in reducing potential conflicts among heirs and maintaining family relationships. However, it still faces challenges due to the community's limited understanding of Islamic faraidh law, leading to the neglect of justice principles in rights distribution. Village officials play a vital role as mediators, although they are not always successful in suppressing individual egos. In conclusion, the "Kertoaji" practice is a pragmatic local solution, but it requires support from Islamic legal education to achieve substantive justice and sustainable social harmony.Keywords: Kertoaji, implications, inheritance.Abstrak: Praktik pembagian warisan memainkan peran penting dalam menjaga harmoni keluarga dan stabilitas sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis praktik tradisional pembagian warisan di Desa Sananrejo, Kecamatan Turen, Kabupaten Malang, melalui pendekatan "Kertoaji" yang mengonversi harta warisan menjadi nilai uang berdasarkan kesepakatan keluarga. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan perangkat desa seperti modin, serta observasi langsung terhadap masyarakat. Analisis tematik digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi pola praktik dan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhinya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan "Kertoaji" efektif dalam meredam potensi konflik antarpenerima waris dan menjaga hubungan kekeluargaan, namun masih menghadapi kendala berupa minimnya pemahaman masyarakat terhadap hukum faraidh Islam. Hal ini berdampak pada pengabaian prinsip keadilan dalam pembagian hak. Perangkat desa berperan penting sebagai mediator, meskipun tidak selalu mampu meredam ego individu. Kesimpulannya, praktik "Kertoaji" menjadi solusi lokal yang pragmatis, namun perlu didukung oleh edukasi hukum Islam demi keadilan substantif dan harmoni sosial yang berkelanjutan.Kata kunci: Kertoaji, implikasi, waris.]]>
