Limited literacy in Islamic inheritance law (faraidh) among Islamic boarders (santri) often leads to informal or customary property distributions that diverge from Sharīʿah principles. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a participatory faraidh education program in improving Islamic inheritance literacy among santri at Pondok Pesantren Darul Musthofa Al Faqih, Bengkalis Regency. Employing a quantitative pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design, 32 santri (14 males, 18 females) were selected using total sampling. Data were collected via 10 validated objective test items, structural observations, and Likert-scale questionnaires. Descriptive and quantitative analyses revealed a substantial gain in mean literacy scores from 46.25 in the pretest to 84.38 in the posttest, marking an average score increment of 38.13 points. Furthermore, 93.75% of participants rated the intervention as highly beneficial, and 90.62% reported heightened confidence in solving inheritance allocation cases. These findings demonstrate that context-based, interactive education effectively bridges theoretical Sharīʿah knowledge and practical application, highlighting the necessity of structured faraidh modules within community and pesantren education ecosystems.
