| dc.description.abstract | This study examines the interpretation of QS. Al-Nisa (4): 11 relates to the
division of inheritance between men and women by Ibn Katsir as a classical mufasir and
Amina Wadud as a contemporary thinker. The purpose of the study is to explore the
differences in the interpretation methodologies of the two, identify the factors that influence
these differences, and assess their relevance to gender justice within the framework of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in the aspect of gender equality (SDG
5). Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this research refers to the
hermeneutics of interpretation, with a focus on text and context. Literature Review: The
literature analyzed includes Tafsir Al-Qur'an Al-Adzim by Ibn Katsir and Qur'an and
Woman by Amina Wadud, as well as supporting sources that discuss Islamic inheritance
law and gender justice issues. Literature Review: The research method is qualitative with
a comparative-analytical approach. The data were systematically analyzed through three
stages: methodological differences identification, relevance evaluation, and synthesis of
findings. Results: The results of the study show that Ibn Katsir used a textual approach
based on asbabun nuzul and the social context of the 7th-century Arab society. He
emphasized the 2:1 division of inheritance as a fixed provision that reflects justice based
on men's financial responsibility. In contrast, Amina Wadud adopts a contextual approach
that considers the dynamics of women's roles in the modern era. He sees the rule as a
flexible principle that can be adapted to the specific needs of the family, reflecting justice
based on the actual contribution of the heirs. Implications: This research makes a new
contribution by integrating classical and contemporary approaches to understanding the
Qur'anic text in an adaptive manner to social change. The implication is that it supports a
more inclusive dialogue to achieve gender equality and justice in Islamic inheritance law.
Novelty: The uniqueness of this study is to enrich the discourse of Islamic law in supporting
the achievement of the SDGs, especially in the aspects of social justice and women's
empowerment.
