The discrepancies betweenthe Islamic Administration Enactments and state enactments are presented in a table outlining the differences in terms of amendment, improvement andrepeals in accordance with the requirements of the mainstream.The findings show that there is no dynamic change in the laws regarding inheritance and its administration from the pre-independence era until now, often resulting in inheritance-related conflicts.
