Summary/Abstract: The subject of this article is a comparative analysis of the rules of Sharia and Bosnian-Herzegovinian inheritance law that regulate the conditions for inheritance. These are the following conditions: the death of the testator, the existence of an inheritance, the existence of an heir capable of inheriting and the legal basis for inheritance. The main goal of the work is to establish the extent to which there is congruence or divergence of the two normative systems in regulating the mentioned conditions. The subject of analysis and comparison are the provisions of the law on inheritance that are in force in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the relevant texts of Sharia inheritance law. The author claims that the similarity between the two systems is noticeable at the level of general principles governing the conditions for inheritance, while the differences appear in the detailed rules on individual conditions.
