I Islamic inheritance law normatively regulates the distribution of inheritance between male and female children in a 2:1 ratio in accordance with the faraidh provisions. however, in practice, several court decisions have applied an equal distribution of inheritance based on considerations of justice and the factual conditions of the family. the problems of this research are: (1) how equal inheritance distribution between male and female children is regulated under islamic inheritance law, and (2) the conformity of the application of islamic inheritance law in four court decisions that divide the inheritance equally between male and female children. this study employed normative legal research with a descriptive approach. it was based primarily on secondary data, supported by primary data, which were analyzed qualitatively using a deductive method. the results of the research indicate that equal inheritance distribution between male and female children cannot serve as the fundamental rule replacing the faraidh provisions. such distribution is permissible only when carried out through a settlement mechanism after each heir\\\'s share has been determined and accepted in accordance with faraidh, followed by the voluntary relinquishment of a portion of the inheritance to heirs who receive a smaller share. the analysis of the four court decisions reveals that they are inconsistent with islamic inheritance law because they directly ordered an equal distribution of inheritance without first determining each heir\\\'s entitlement under the faraidh provisions and without applying the settlement mechanism prescribed by islamic inheritance law.
