<![CDATA[Although the protection of heirs’ ownership rights over land has been widely studied from the perspectives of civil law and Islamic law, research specifically analyzing the judges’ considerations in Jeneponto District Court Decision Number 3/Pdt.G/2026/PN Jnp remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the protection of heirs’ ownership rights over land under civil law and Islamic law and to assess the conformity of the judges’ considerations in the decision. This study employed a qualitative approach with a normative legal research design using statutory, case, and conceptual approaches. Primary legal materials included the Indonesian Civil Code, Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Agrarian Principles, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and Jeneponto District Court Decision Number 3/Pdt.G/2026/PN Jnp. Secondary legal materials comprised literature, scientific journals, and previous research findings, whereas tertiary legal materials consisted of legal dictionaries and encyclopedias. Legal materials were collected through literature review and documentation and were subsequently analyzed descriptively and qualitatively using legal interpretation techniques. The results showed that the protection of heirs’ ownership rights over land under civil law is based on the recognition of inheritance rights, proof of ownership, and legal certainty regarding land, whereas Islamic law emphasizes the principles of justice, certainty of rights, and the protection of property (ḥifẓ al-māl). The analysis of the decision demonstrated the importance of accurate judicial considerations regarding jurisdiction and proof of ownership rights in resolving inherited land disputes. This study enriches inheritance law scholarship by integrating civil law and Islamic law perspectives and provides practical implications for judges, legal practitioners, and the public in achieving the equitable and legally certain resolution of inherited land disputes.]]>
