Dispute Resolution of Pusako Tinggi Land in Pauh IX Kerapatan Adat Nagari (KAN) Kuranji Padang City According to Islamic Law and Minangkabau Customary Law
This article discusses the dispute resolution mechanism of Pusako Tinggi land in Kuranji Sub-district, Padang City, in the perspective of Minangkabau customary law and Islamic law. In the Minangkabau matrilineal system, Pusako Tinggi are inherited from generation to generation through the maternal line and managed by the community led by niniak mamak. This study uses a juridical-sociological approach with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation at Kerapatan Adat Nagari (KAN) Pauh IX. The findings show that KAN plays a central role in the mediation of Pusako Tinggidisputes, including tracing the genealogy and origins of the property. Islamic law becomes relevant in cases where the property is the result of personal livelihood and not a Pusako Tinggi , where the principles of faraidh apply. The article emphasizes the importance of synergy between adat and sharia through the 'urf ṣaḥīḥ approach, as well as the need for strengthening adat institutions, community legal literacy, and documentation of heirloom assets to prevent prolonged conflict. Thus, dispute resolution can take place with justice, dignity, and in accordance with the cultural context and sharia values.
