Penerapan nilai toleransi antar budaya dalam pelaksanaan hukum kewarisan Islam pada masyarakat perbatasan di Rao Pasaman Sumatera Barat

Abstract

The Rao community on the border of West Sumatra inhabited by ethnic Minangkabau and ethnic
Mandailing is a plural society that embraces two kinship systems. The patrilineal, the matrilineal, and the
parent. But in the process of their interaction for decades there has been interaction through cultural
tolerance in the kinship system. Here the birth of a parental kinship and familial system is the most
dominant character in this multi ethnic Rao region as a new kinship system built in their social interaction
process for hundreds of years. This system also affects the inheritance division system in their
interactions. As for the inheritance distribution system, indigenous peoples of the border, especially the
Rao area, have applied several types of inheritance distribution: First, Rao customary people use the new
customary law of parental system which combines two customs as the first spear in determining
inheritance. Second, they use Islamic law, because the Minangkabau and Mandailing are Moslems, so they
use Islamic law in the inheritance. Third, they use national law, because if customary law and Islamic law
do not want to be used then they use national law. These three systems are all intercultural tolerance
amid differences in their customary system between Minangkabau adat matrineal system and Mandailing
custom patrineal system.
