This study aims to analyze the factors that hinder inheritance in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) and understand the challenges of its implementation in society. Inheritance barriers are certain conditions or actions that abort a person's rights as an heir, such as murder of heirs, religious differences, and acts of defamation regulated in Article 173 of the KHI. This study uses a qualitative research method with a literature study approach to examine data from various primary and secondary sources related to Islamic inheritance law. The results of the study show that the provisions of inheritance barriers in the KHI have a strong basis in Islamic law and aim to maintain justice and avoid the abuse of inheritance rights. However, the implementation of these provisions in the field is still faced with various challenges, including a lack of public understanding, differences in legal interpretation among judges, and the influence of local customs that sometimes contradict the provisions of the KHI. This study recommends the need for a more comprehensive approach in the implementation of inheritance barrier rules, including public education, training for law enforcement officials, and increased synergy between religious, cultural, and legal norms in the field. Thus, the principle of justice in the distribution of inheritance as regulated in the KHI can be realized optimally.
