The Islamic law of inheritance has a very important position in the development of Islamic
law. The Islamic law Scholars ‘and Quranic Commentators discussed many of these
issues, from the classical period to the present day. Philosophy with its three branches:
ontology, epistemology, and axiology are often used as a method to understand the nature
of something. This article presents the discussion on the philosophical perspective of
Islamic law of inheritance in order to obtain a holistic understanding. The Islamic law
of inheritance ontologically is the Shari’ah of Allah to the Muslims as the provisions that
must be implemented in accordance with those contained in the Qur’an and Hadith. This
Islamic law with its various provisions has a binding legal force for all Muslims to run
it. Epistemologically, the Islamic law of inheritance is a series of provisions from Allah
derived from the Qur’an, hadith, and ijtihad by Salaf scholars. Whereas axiologically,
the Islamic law of inheritance has a certain purpose i.e. granting heir rights to the heirs
according to their proportions.
