The purpose of this study is to find out the inheritance law of adopted children in the perspective of Islamic law. This study uses a library approach and uses an applied research design. Based on the data analysis, it can be concluded that adopted children do not get a share of inheritance from adoptive parents because  one of the reasons for inheriting is senasab or incest.
