    abstract = {This study discusses takharuj in the Islamic inheritance law in Malaysia. The lack of awareness and
comprehensive understanding of the said law could open the door to more serious problems concerning
inheritance distribution in the event of a death. The law must also be wisely and pragmatically implemented,
so that, the spirit behind its canonisation can be attained. Hence, this study was carried out with the objective
of analysing the concept of takharuj and its justification as one of the effective solution mechanisms
concerning the problems of Islamic inheritance distribution cases among Muslims in Malaysia. This qualitative
study is based on primary and secondary sources, employing the methods of document analysis and
interviews. This study found that takharuj is made permissible by the Shari’ah and found to be an effective
mechanism in solving problematic inheritance cases. Takharuj is capable of handling legal constraints which
forbid certain parties from getting their share of inheritance and restrict uneconomical estate distribution via.
Fara’id and thus takharuj can avoid delay in matters of prolonged inheritance distribution due to heir’s attitude.
Therefore, takharuj in fact provides a relief to the heirs to distribute the inheritance in the best manner in
accordance with the Shari’ah and the law.}
