Abstract

This situation led the teaching of the school was absorbed by the Muslims in most part of the country especially in their religious practice. Focusing in the law of inheritance and bequeath, the teaching of the Syafi‘i’s doctrine in this field was spreading exclusively and it was reflected from many cases and fatwas’. The practice was very firm among the people till any rule was based on Syafi‘i’s teaching.

The intention is to portray the real situation in getting the reference in the administration of Islamic law in Malaysia nowadays with special reference to the applications of Syafi‘i’s school of law in inheritance and wills.
