The understanding about Faraid among Muamalat students UiTM Kelantan Branch / Siti Noor Aida Hasbulah

This study investigates how Muamalat students at Universiti Teknologi Mara Cawangan Kelantan (UiTMCK) understand Faraid. A key component of Islamic law and finance is faraid, the Islamic inheritance law, which specifies how a deceased person's estate must be distributed. Despite its significance, many Muslims, especially in Malaysia, do not know enough about Faraid, which causes unresolved financial conflicts and inheritance legal action. This study is to evaluate the degree of Faraid knowledge and comprehension among UiTMCK's Muamalat students, highlight the variables influencing their understanding, and suggest instructional improvements. Using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for quantitative data analysis, the research employs a mixed-method approach. To ensure representativeness, 133 students were chosen at random from the 204 students in the Muamalat student population. The study focuses into how students feel about Faraid and what they know and find difficulty. The results show that although students comprehend Faraid on a fundamental level, there are large gaps in their application and expertise. These shortcomings are ascribed to insufficient in-depth instruction and hands-on training in Faraid. The research emphasises how crucial it is to incorporate Faraid teaching into the curriculum through workshops, seminars, and courses, especially in establishments that provide Islamic financial programmes such as UiTMCK. The study emphasises how important it is to keep improving the educational process in order to better educate students to implement the concepts of Islamic inheritance in both personal and professional settings. Overcoming these educational gaps can help to prevent inheritance conflicts, guarantee equitable distribution of estates, and improve students’ general understanding of Islamic law and finance. The study’s recommendations have the goal to improve Faraid education, which would ultimately help the legal and economic institutions by encouraging fair and knowledgeable inheritance administration.
