Every science has its own specific terminology. Knowledge of these terms is essential for a better understanding and systematic presentation of that science. Standard dictionaries do not include the terms specific to a particular science. Among the Islamic sciences, one with the most specialized terminology is undoubtedly Islamic Inheritance Law, known as "feraiz." The scarcity of studies on feraiz today stems from the fact that, in addition to requiring knowledge of mathematics and calculus, it also contains numerous unique terms. Therefore, the need for such a dedicated study in Turkish naturally arises.
This study, titled "Dictionary of Inheritance Law Terms," aims to briefly introduce the basic terms related to Islamic Inheritance Law. The lack of a Turkish work that comprehensively addresses the terms related to inheritance law necessitated this study.
