This situation is much influenced by the attitude and actions which do not meet the standards set by Allah SWT. The implementation of Perintah Faraid (Faraid order) by the Shariah Court in Malaysia should be practised as a mechanism capable of systematic and Shariah-compliant management and distribution of inheritance property to the rightful heirs. Instead, there exist some issues which need to be resolved in order to achieve the original objective of preserving the welfare and interest of rightful heirs and avoiding disadvantage or difficulties to them. The main objective of this study is to discuss the status and practice of Perintah Faraid in the Shariah Court and the issues which beset its implementation as well as the required proactive steps to be implemented for the improvement and welfare of Muslim society in Malaysia.
