Résumé documentaire — langue originale

Abstract The legal protection of adopted children in Muslim countries remains problematic, particularly regarding inheritance rights, which the established fiqh tradition does not recognize. This gap creates inequality and economic problem. To date, no systematic study has comprehensively examined inheritance dynamics for adopted children in Islam, integrating early juristic texts and modern policies. This research addresses that gap through a systematic literature review using the PRISMA framework, drawing from Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect (2000–2025). Only English-language studies on inheritance rights of adopted children in Islamic contexts were included. From 503 articles screened, 17 met the criteria. Data were appraised with the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool and thematically analyzed using NVivo 14. The findings reveal three main approaches: a foundational fiqh approach that adheres to literal Qur’anic interpretation; a maqāṣid -oriented interpretive approach using maqasid al-shariah , particularly with reference to Al-Ahzab 4–5; and a pragmatic approach allowing adopted children to benefit through allocation of up to one-third of an estate. Comparative analysis shows variation across countries, with Indonesia leading reform efforts through Article 209 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). Overall, the study highlights the adaptive capacity of fiqh . Islamic jurisprudence adapts through an uṣūl -based istinbāṭ method that links the ijtihād of early jurists to contemporary social problems, notably by means of the obligatory bequest ( waṣiyyah wājibah ).
