Summary:Islamic inheritance law is one aspect that is regulated in Qur'an and Hadith. However, the inheritance distribution of the descendent of children and siblings is not explicitly explained in the Qur'an and the Sunnah, which often creates conflicts and disputes. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the approach of Islamic law in completing inheritance for the descendant of children and siblings with the local wisdom of Indonesian society. This research used a qualitative descriptive analysis method. This research also observed Indigenous Peoples in West Java Province, a local cultural representation in Indonesia. The results of this study found that there is a factor of kanyaah (love affection), which is local wisdom as a separate mechanism in resolving the distribution of inheritance for descendent of children and siblings without causing family conflict, besides the understanding of Islamic inheritance law and educational factors.
