Issues and challenges related to inheritance: properties distribution process among staff in Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama Islam Negeri Kelantan (JAHEAIK)

According to the Quran and Hadith, inheritance is crucial to guaranteeing that the estate of a deceased person is divided among their legitimate heirs in a fair and reasonable manner. Notwithstanding its religious significance, Malaysia's inheritance distribution procedure is beset by a number of difficulties, such as family conflicts, administrative inefficiencies, and legal complexities. The purpose of this study is to examine the problems and difficulties associated with Malaysia's inheritance distribution procedure under Islamic law, with a particular emphasis on Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama Islam Kelantan (JAHEAIK). The study uses a quantitative research technique, collecting data from 117 JAHEAIK employees via a survey administered via the web platform Google Forms. The questionnaire focusses on two main topics: the staff members' comprehension and awareness of faraid, as well as the particular problems and difficulties they face during the inheritance distribution procedure. Descriptive statistics are used in data analysis utilising the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). At the end of the study, the researcher was able to assess and review the level of understanding and knowledge of the staff at JAHEAIK where their knowledge of the distribution of inheritance in Malaysia was not very good. In addition, researchers can also identify issues that occur during the estate distribution process, including time constraints, problems between families, complicated procedures and documentation problems. In addition to offering suggestions to increase the effectiveness of the inheritance distribution process, such as streamlining legal procedures and raising public knowledge of faraid, this study gives significant insights into the causes impeding successful inheritance administration in Malaysia.
