Pemahaman umat Islam di Indonesia terhadap prinsip Pengangkatan Anak yang didasarkan pada hukum Islam masih sangat kurang, termasuk mengenai proses legitimasinya dan penyelesaian sengketa di Peradilan atas sengketa pembagian harta peninggalan orang tua angkat. Perlu diteliti bagaimana penerapannya pengangkatan anak oleh umat Islam di Indonesia, akibat hukum dari masingmasing penetapan dan putusan, serta bagaimana pertimbangan hukum masingmasing Hakim dalam menetapkan pengangkatan anak dan memutus sengketa pembagian harta peninggalan tersebut. Dari penelitian yang dilakukan secara deskriptif kualitatif terhadap beberapa penetapan dan putusan lembaga Peradilan diperoleh kesimpulan, bahwa pengangkatan anak yang dilakukan oleh umat Islam di Indonesia belum sepenuhnya dilakukan sesuai dengan ketentuan hukum Islam maupun hukum positif terkait dengan pengangkatan anak. Oleh karenanya menurut Penulis, sangat penting agar pemerintah bekerja sama dengan instansi terkait untuk membuat suatu peraturan khusus tentang pengangkatan anak bagi umat Islam di Indonesia agar kepastian hukum dapat tercapai. Bagi masyarakat pelaku pengangkatan anak juga agar betul-betul memahami prinsip-prinsip pengangkatan anak berdasarkan ketentuan hukum Islam dan peraturan-peraturan yang terkait, agar memenuhi ketentuan hukum Islam dan hukum positif Indonesia.
