Navigating Indonesia’s State Ideology: The Siyāsah Shar’iyyah Framework
type: item
description: A state ideology is exposed to threats that may weaken national resilience and sovereignty. This study examines the protection of Indonesia’s state ideology through the perspective of siyāsah shar’iyyah. Using a phenomenological approach, it explores religious paradigms in the governance practices of institutions responsible for safeguarding Pancasila, with emphasis on Islamic organizational management. The study applies a qualitative methodology grounded in the sharia legal paradigm, integrating Islamic legal principles as the analytical framework. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with institutional leaders and members, observation of managerial practices, and analysis of official documents, including operational guidelines and annual reports. The findings show that applying the siyāsah shar’iyyah framework promotes orderly and integrity-based governance through principles such as justice, trustworthiness (amānah), and consultative deliberation (mushāwarah). These values strengthen transparency, accountability, and managerial effectiveness, reinforcing organizational integrity and public trust. However, challenges remain, including resistance to organizational change and limited understanding of sharia-based management. The study concludes that Islamic paradigms can support modern governance when adapted locally. Abstrak Ideologi negara senantiasa menghadapi berbagai ancaman yang berpotensi melemahkan ketahanan dan kedaulatan nasional. Penelitian ini mengkaji upaya perlindungan ideologi negara Indonesia melalui perspektif siyāsah shar’iyyah. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologis, studi ini mengeksplorasi paradigma keagamaan dalam praktik tata kelola lembaga-lembaga yang bertanggung jawab menjaga ideologi Pancasila, dengan penekanan pada manajemen organisasi berbasis Islam. Penelitian ini menerapkan metode kualitatif yang berlandaskan pada paradigma hukum syariah, dengan mengintegrasikan prinsip-prinsip hukum Islam sebagai kerangka analisis. Dat…

A Laissez-Faire Approach of Muslim NGOs as Minorities in Shaping the Halal Industry & Islamic Banking Law in Japan
type: item
description: This article examines and proves the laissez-faire approach taken in the context of Muslim Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in shaping the development of Japan's halal industry and Islamic banking. Preliminary data support the idea behind this research. Despite representing minority groups in Japan, Muslim NGOs have adopted a non-interventionist approach, empowering market forces and community-driven initiatives to drive the growth of halal products and services. Through their advocacy and collaborative efforts, these organizations have navigated the Japanese legal landscape to promote halal certification, halal food production, and Islamic finance, aligning these sectors with global market trends and local cultural dynamics. Using field research supported by document analysis and interviews, it was found that a laissez-faire model characterized by minimal state intervention in the work of Muslim NGOs in public and private sector involvement in the halal economy and Islamic banking emerges despite the challenges they faced in a non-Muslim-majority country. By tracing the historical context of these developments and analyzing key case studies, this paper offers insights into the intersection of religion, economics, and legal reform in Japan. These findings contribute to a broader discourse regarding the influence of minorities in niche markets, with implications for the future of Islamic finance and the halal industry in both non-Western and non-Muslim contexts. Abstrak Artikel ini mengkaji peran unik Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat (LSM) Muslim di Jepang dalam mengembangkan industri halal dan perbankan Islam. Meskipun sebagai kelompok minoritas, LSM Muslim ini menggunakan pendekatan "laissez-faire" (non-intervensionis). Mereka mengandalkan kekuatan pasar dan inisiatif komunitas untuk mendorong pertumbuhan layanan dan produk halal. Melalui advokasi dan kolaborasi, mereka berhasil menavigasi peraturan hukum Jepang untuk mempromosikan sertifikasi halal, makanan halal, …

Sufism, Sharia, & Politics: Contesting Islamic Authority in Contemporary Aceh
type: item
description: This article examines the discourse between Sufi and sharia-oriented scholars concerning the nature of Islam and its implementation in social and state life in contemporary Aceh. It focuses on the thought of modern Acehnese Sufi figures, particularly Abuya Sheikh Amran Waly Al-Khalidi, vis-à-vis scholars affiliated with the Aceh Ulama Consultative Assembly (Majelis Permusyawaratan Ulama, MPU) and the Aceh branch of the Indonesian Ulama Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia, MUI). Drawing on qualitative field research, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. This study argues that the discourse between these groups extends beyond differences in interpretive approaches and legal application, reflecting fundamentally divergent epistemological understandings of Islamic teachings. Moreover, this contestation echoes historical dynamics in Aceh, notably the sixteenth-century debate between Hamzah Fansuri and Nuruddin ar-Raniri during the Samudera Pasai Sultanate. The Sufism–sharia discourse thus provides an analytical lens for examining broader dynamics of Islam in Aceh, including the implementation of Islamic law, inter-ulama relations, and the influence of Jakarta’s political elites. Ultimately, this article elucidates the foundational principles guiding both Sufi and sharia scholars in translating Islamic teachings into communal and state practices in Aceh and, more broadly, in Indonesia. Abstrak Artikel ini mengkaji diskursus antara ulama syariat versus ulama sufi dalam memahami hakekat Islam dan implementasi dalam kehidupan sosial kemasyarakatan maupun kenegaraan di Aceh modern. Kajian ini membedah pemikiran sosok ulama sufi Aceh modern, yakni Abuya Syekh Amran Waly Al-Khalidi vis-à-vis para ulama yang tergabung dalam Majelis Permusyawaratan Ulama (MPU) Aceh dan Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) Aceh.

Adapting Fiqh al-Aqalliyāt in Japan: Islamic Legal Responses to Muslim Social Life in a Minority Context
type: item
description: The adaptation of fiqh al-aqalliyāt (Islamic jurisprudence for Muslim minorities) poses legal and social challenges for Muslims in non-Muslim majority countries. Japan, with its secular legal system and predominantly non-Muslim society, offers a distinct context to examine how Muslim communities maintain religious practices in a non-supportive environment. This study explores how Muslims in Japan adjust their religious obligations despite limited access to religious facilities, how they reconcile Islamic law with Japanese state law, and how these adjustments influence social integration. Data were gathered through qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews with Muslim community members and leaders in urban areas such as Tokyo, Mito, Koga and Ibaraki. Using the frameworks of legal pluralism and maṣlaḥah-based reasoning, the study reveals that Muslims apply flexible interpretations of fiqh al-aqalliyāt, including time adjustments for prayer, the use of shared spaces for worship, and legal innovations in marriage. These adaptive strategies help sustain religious identity while fostering coexistence. The study concludes that fiqh al-aqalliyāt can serve as a dynamic legal tool to harmonize religious commitments with minority realities, contributing to the broader discourse on Islamic law in global minority contexts. Abstrak Adaptasi fiqh al-aqalliyāt menghadirkan tantangan signifikan bagi Muslim yang hidup sebagai minoritas di negara non-Muslim. Studi kualitatif ini mengkaji bagaimana komunitas Muslim di Jepang—sebuah negara sekuler dengan sistem hukum dan masyarakat yang khas—mengatasi keterbatasan akses terhadap fasilitas ibadah dan mendamaikan hukum agama dengan hukum negara. Melalui wawancara mendalam dengan anggota komunitas di wilayah perkotaan (termasuk Tokyo dan Ibaraki), penelitian ini menemukan bahwa dengan menggunakan kerangka pluralisme hukum dan pendekatan berbasis maṣlaḥah, Muslim Jepang menerapkan interpretasi fiqh al-aqalliyāt yang fleksibel, sepe…

Equality from The Perspective of Islamic Constitutional Law al-Musāwah & Legal Equality in Islamic Constitutional Frameworks
type: item
description: This article examines equality from the perspective of contemporary Islamic constitutional law (fiqh al-siyāsah), focusing on al-musāwah within the framework of human rights and modern political systems. Using the Quran, ḥadīth, and the opinions of ulama and Muslim intellectuals, analyzed via usūl al-fiqh with attention to maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, the study highlights that most contemporary scholars uphold equality as a foundational principle of society and the state. Here, equality refers to legal equality (al-musāwah al-qānūniyyah or al-musāwah amām al-qaḍāʾ), rather than factual equality (al-musāwah al-fiʿliyyah) or general equality of opportunity (al-musāwah fī takāfuʾ al-furṣah). Equality of opportunity applies to free state services such as education and healthcare, which facilitate social mobility. Certain inequalities remain, particularly concerning the status of Muslims versus non-Muslims and men versus women. Key examples include inheritance, polygamy, testimony, and the practice of ḥijāb or niqāb, all based on qaṭʿī (definitive) evidence. Nevertheless, many contemporary scholars engage in ijtihād to reinterpret these rulings in modern contexts and uncover their underlying wisdom. Abstrak Artikel ini membahas gagasan kesetaraan dari perspektif fiqh al-siyāsah kontemporer, dengan menempatkan konsep al-musāwah dalam kerangka hak asasi manusia dan sistem politik modern. Dengan merujuk pada Al-Qur’an, hadis, serta pandangan para ulama dan intelektual Muslim, yang dianalisis melalui pendekatan uṣūl al-fiqh dengan mempertimbangkan maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, studi ini menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas ulama kontemporer menempatkan kesetaraan sebagai prinsip fundamental dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat dan bernegara. Dalam kajian ini, kesetaraan dipahami terutama sebagai kesetaraan di hadapan hukum (al-musāwah al-qānūniyyah atau al-musāwah amām al-qaḍāʾ), bukan kesetaraan faktual (al-musāwah al-fiʿliyyah) ataupun kesetaraan kesempatan (al-musāwah fī takāfuʾ al-furṣah). Kesetaraan ke…

The Proliferation of Anomalous Digital Fatwas: A CriticalExamination of Jurisprudential Challenges and Societal Impactsin the Digital Age
type: item
description: This paper investigates the emergence and proliferation of anomalous digital fatwas—online religious decrees that deviate from established Islamic legal principles, and their impacts on Islamic jurisprudence and social cohesion. It adopts a qualitative exploratory approach. It uses a systematic literature review and case study analysis to examine the factors contributing to the rise of these fatwas and their implications for the Muslim community. Key findings reveal that digital platforms have transformed traditional religious authority structures, enabling the rapid and unvetted dissemination of religious verdicts. The analysis further highlights the role of external pressures, ideological biases, and limited jurisprudential oversight in exacerbating this problem. The paper proposes practical solutions, including enhanced digital literacy training for muftis, the establishment of formal regulatory frameworks for fatwa verification, and the promotion of collaborative scholarly deliberation. The implications of this research extend beyond academia to offer actionable strategies for religious institutions, policymakers, and community leaders seeking to foster social harmony in an increasingly interconnected digital landscape. Abstrak Artikel ini mengkaji kemunculan dan proliferasi fatwa digital yang menyimpang—keputusan keagamaan online yang menyimpang dari prinsip-prinsip hukum Islam yang mapan—dan dampaknya terhadap yurisprudensi Islam dan kohesi sosial. Studi ini mengadopsi pendekatan eksplorasi kualitatif, memanfaatkan tinjauan literatur yang sistematis dan analisis studi kasus untuk menguji faktor-faktor yang berkontribusi terhadap maraknya fatwa-fatwa ini dan implikasinya bagi komunitas Muslim. Temuan-temuan utama mengungkapkan bahwa platform digital telah mengubah struktur otoritas keagamaan tradisional, memungkinkan penyebaran fatwa agama yang cepat dan tidak disaring. Analisis ini lebih lanjut menyoroti peran tekanan eksternal, bias ideologis, dan pengawasan …

Modern Criminological Measures to Counteract Child Substitution in accordance with Islamic Law
type: item
description: This article analyzes the criminological aspects of child substitution, with a particular focus on preventive measures and punishment mechanisms under sharia and modern law. Special attention is given to the protection of the rights of newborns and their mothers in accordance with Islamic legal principles. The study underscores the importance of creating a safe, and supportive environment for women in labour and their newborns within maternity hospitals. The methodological basis of the article is the dialectical method of cognition, which ensures an objective and comprehensive analysis of legal issues in obstetric-related offences. The study also applies system analysis, comparative-legal, and other relevant methods. This article examines the legal, criminological, and Islamic approaches to preventing child substitution in Indonesia and Kazakhstan. The findings indicate that child substitution remains a significant issue in Indonesia and Kazakhstan due to gaps in existing legislation and insufficient procedural safeguards for newborn identification. The article highlights the need for modern criminological measures to prevent child swapping, including improved technical equipment in maternity hospitals and accurate identification of newborns to prevent abduction or substitution. Based on these findings, the article recommends improving national legislation, establishing specialized child protection authorities, and implementing comprehensive measures to counteract child substitution. Abstrak Artikel ini menganalisis aspek kriminologis dari substitusi anak, dengan fokus khusus pada tindakan pencegahan dan mekanisme hukuman berdasarkan syariah dan hukum modern. Perhatian khusus diberikan pada perlindungan hak-hak bayi baru lahir dan ibunya sesuai dengan prinsip-prinsip hukum Islam.

Women and the Transmission of the Quran: Marginalization, Legal Strategies, and Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah-Based Resolution
type: item
description: The duty to maintain the authenticity of the Quran through verbal transmission is a collective obligation for every Muslim. However, several groups of Muslim scholars marginalize the role of women in the transmission of the Quran due to some fiqh rules. Various ethical-legal-formal rules governing women's association in the public space have limited women's access to the transmission process. This study explains the biographical evidence of women's marginalization, the causal factors restricting women's access to the transmission, and the implications and legal strategies women used to overcome these fiqh rules constraints. This is library research with a feminist approach and descriptive analysis. Data collection was carried out by observing literature through library research related to the role of women in the transmission of the Quran. This study showed women's marginalization due to an understanding of gender-biased Islamic doctrines regarding seclusion, prohibitions on traveling and mixing with men (ikhtilāṭ), and the doctrine of women's voices as awrah. Under these conditions, women develop some legal stratagems to break through these religious doctrines. This study recommends using the maqashid al-sharī'ah approach in resolving the problem of marginalization of women in the transmission of the Qur'an. Abstrak Kewajiban menjaga otentisitas Al-Qur’an melalui transmisi verbal merupakan kewajiban kolektif bagi setiap Muslim, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan. Namun, peran perempuan dalam transmisi Al-Qur'an masih terpinggirkan karena adanya sejumlah pembatasan aturan fiqih yang yang membatasi akses perempuan dalam proses transmisi. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi bentuk-bentuk marginalisasi perempuan dalam transmisi Al-Qur’an, faktor-faktor penyebab, serta strategi hukum yang digunakan perempuan untuk mengatasi kendala-kendala tersebut. Studi ini merupakan studi pustaka dengan pendekatan feminis. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan pengamatan literatur mela…

Lolo Bangko: Child Marriage & Family Resilience in Island Communities in South Sulawesi
type: item
description: The minimum age limit for marriage is regulated by the state to control the mental readiness of prospective bride and groom. In this context, child marriage based on local traditions is widespread in island communities. Therefore, this research aims to describe the practice of child marriage and the consequent impact on family resilience in the communities of Kodingareng and Badi in Spermonde Islands, South Sulawesi. A qualitative method is applied through critical ethnography, while data collection is carried out through interviews, observation, and document review. The results show that there is prevalence of child marriage as a common practice in island communities. In this context, the society understands the minimum age limit but maintains the tradition of child marriage due to cultural, customary, religious, and economic factors. The traditional view in the form of Lolo Bangko is the fear of not finding a suitable partner in the future. Consequently, children are forced to enter into early marriage which are often conducted illegally. This has an impact on harmony, independence, and household continuity, increasing the level of divorce in young families. Abstrak Negara mengatur batas usia minimal untuk melangsungkan perkawinan agar calon pengantin memiliki kesiapan mental untuk membangun keluarga. Namun, perkawinan anak-anak yang didasari oleh tradisi lokal masih marak di masyarakat kepulauan. Artikel ini mendeskripsikan praktik perkawinan anak dan dampak konsekuensinya terhadap ketahanan keluarga pada masyarakat kepulauan di Pulau Kodingareng dan Pulau Badi di Kepulauan Spermonde, Sulawesi Selatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui metode etnografi kritis, dan pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi, dan kajian dokumen. Hasil studi menunjukkan prevalensi perkawinan anak sebagai praktik umum di masyarakat kepulauan. Masyarakat telah mengetahui peraturan batas usia minimum untuk menikah, tetapi mereka mempertahankan tradisi perkawin…

Implementing Islamic Law in Diaspora Naturalization: A Middle East, Southeast Asia, and West
type: item
description: This study examines the implementation of Islamic law in diaspora naturalization, comparing dynamics across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the West. While naturalization has expanded globally due to economic integration, political participation, and security concerns, the role of Islamic law varies regionally. Using a qualitative comparative approach, this research analyzes policies in the three regions, supplemented by a Quantitative Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of Scopus-indexed journals under the PRISMA model. Findings reveal stark contrasts: In the Middle East, Islamic law is central to citizenship, particularly in religion-based status and family law, with deep integration into national legal systems. Southeast Asia adopts a more adaptive approach, prioritizing economic and skill-based naturalization while retaining Islamic principles in marriage and inheritance. Conversely, Western secular frameworks exclude formal recognition of Islamic law in naturalization, though diaspora communities often navigate dual legal realities. The study highlights how regional legal traditions, socio-political contexts, and migration policies shape these disparities. It concludes that Islamic law’s influence persists most strongly in the Middle East, remains contextually flexible in Southeast Asia, and operates informally in the West despite systemic secularization. These insights contribute to debates on religion, migration, and legal pluralism in global citizenship regimes. Abstrak Penelitian ini mengkaji implementasi hukum Islam dalam naturalisasi diaspora dengan membandingkan dinamika di Timur Tengah, Asia Tenggara, dan Barat. Meskipun naturalisasi telah meluas secara global karena integrasi ekonomi, partisipasi politik, dan pertimbangan keamanan, peran hukum Islam bervariasi secara regional. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif komparatif, penelitian ini menganalisis kebijakan di ketiga wilayah, dilengkapi dengan Systematic Literature Review (SLR) kuantitatif terhad…

Abuse of Rights: A Comparative Study between Mālikī Jurisprudence & Positive Law
type: item
description: This paper offers a comparative analytical evaluation of the theory of abuse of rights as articulated within Mālikī jurisprudence and in positive law. It highlights the doctrinal foundations of this theory within the Mālikī school, characterized by the extensive application of this concept to encompass all types of harm, supported by evidence from the Holy Quran and Sunnah. The research also employs a qualitative method based on a comparative analysis of classic jurisprudential texts, such as al-Muwāfaqāt, al-Furūq, and al-Mudawwanah, while specifically focusing on contemporary positive law, such as the civil codes of Egypt and Algeria. The study demonstrates that there is a high degree of overlap between the core criteria laid down by Mālikī jurisprudence related to the abuse of rights and the related criteria adopted in contemporary positive law, especially concerning three basic criteria: the illegitimacy of the interest; the intent to harm others; and the inconsistency between the interest sought and the harm caused. The study also demonstrates that Mālikī jurisprudence was at the forefront of developing an integrated theory of abuse of rights that carefully balances private interests with broader public-interest principles. Abstrak Paper ini menyajikan evaluasi analitis komparatif terhadap teori penyalahgunaan hak sebagaimana dirumuskan dalam fikih Mālikī dan dalam hukum positif. Kajian ini menyoroti landasan doktrinal teori tersebut dalam mazhab Mālikī, yang dikenal penerapannya yang luas sehingga mencakup semua bentuk kemudaratan, didukung oleh dalil-dalil dari Al-Qur’an dan Sunnah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan komparatif terhadap teks-teks fikih klasik, seperti al-Muwāfaqāt, al-Furūq, dan al-Mudawwanah, serta membandingkannya dengan hukum positif kontemporer, khususnya dalam kodifikasi perdata Mesir dan Aljazair.

description: Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) powered by immutable and automated smart contracts have revolutionized cryptocurrency trading by eliminating intermediaries. However, the alignment of their mechanisms with Islamic principles of sale and purchase remains unclear. This study conducted a qualitative analysis to assess the sharia compliance of DEXs. This research examines the conformity of DEX trading mechanisms with sharia principles by utilizing content and normative analysis of classical and contemporary Islamic finance literature alongside DEX-related articles, white papers, and industry reports. The findings reveal critical areas of non-compliance, particularly concerning contracting parties ('aqīd) and subject matter (mabī'). DEXs lack mechanisms to verify the legal capacity of transacting parties, potentially enabling involvement from individuals deemed incompetent under sharia. Cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange also raise concerns because of their ambiguous nature as commodities or currencies, potentially leading to gharar (uncertainty) and ḍarar (harm). While certain aspects, such as the clarity of offer and acceptance (ijāb wa qabūl) through smart contracts and specific traded assets, such as certain tokens and NFTs, might align with sharia, the overall risks associated with speculation and inherent uncertainties necessitate caution. This study recommends that Muslims approach DEXs with caution until clear guidelines and sharia-compliant platforms are established. Furthermore, increased scrutiny from Islamic scholars and regulatory bodies is crucial for ensuring this rapidly evolving technology's ethical and compliant development. Abstrak Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) yang didukung oleh smart contracts telah mengubah perdagangan mata uang kripto dengan menghilangkan peran perantara. Namun, kesesuaian mekanisme DEX dengan prinsip jual beli dalam Islam masih menjadi perdebatan. Studi ini melakukan analisis kualitatif untuk menilai kepatuhan DEX terhadap syar…

Public Chaos: Alleged Fatwa on Boycotting and the Fear of Missing Out on Israeli Products in Indonesia
type: item
description: The following text presents a synopsis of the abstract. As the conflict between Israel and Palestine intensifies, the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) has issued a fatwa that has generated controversy in various mass media, particularly on social media platforms. The objective of this study is to examine whether the "fatwa" issued by the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) constitutes a legitimate threat against Israeli products or a misinterpretation of the fatwa within the community. The research method employed is qualitative, with a descriptive-analytical approach. The secondary data set comprises social media platforms, including Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, as well as websites relevant to the author's research. The primary data was obtained through interviews with various stakeholders, including consumers, MUI members, pro-Palestinian activists, and digital communication experts. The results indicated that misinterpretations of the fatwa led to public disorder, characterized by ambiguity in public perception, social pressures encouraging boycott conformity, and exacerbated consumer confusion due to digital misinformation. This research highlights the importance of religious literacy and the need to establish information authority within the digital landscape. Abstrak Seiring memanasnya konflik antara Israel dan Palestina, Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) mengeluarkan fatwa yang menuai kontroversi di berbagai media massa, khususnya media sosial. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji apakah fatwa yang dikeluarkan oleh Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) tersebut hanya sekadar ancaman bebas terhadap produk Israel atau merupakan kesalahpahaman terhadap fatwa tersebut di tengah masyarakat. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif-analitis; data sekunder meliputi media sosial seperti Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, dan situs web yang terkait dengan penelitian penulis; dan data primer diperoleh melalui wawancara dengan berbagai pemangku …

Enforcing Arbitration Awards: Ensuring Sharia Compliance in Islamic & Secular Jurisdictions
type: item
description: This study examines the challenges and solutions for enforcing arbitration awards in jurisdictions governed by both sharia (Islamic) law and secular (national) law. It focuses on structuring arbitration agreements and awards to comply with Sharia principles while ensuring enforceability in both legal systems. The research highlights potential conflicts between these frameworks and proposes strategies to harmonize them, ensuring recognition and enforcement across diverse legal contexts. A key focus is the difficulty of enforcing awards that include elements prohibited by sharia, such as ribā (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (gambling). The study provides practical guidance for legal professionals, arbitrators, and businesses, offering insights into ensuring enforceability while avoiding legal conflicts in cross-border disputes. This study employs a juridical normative approach, focusing on the analysis of laws, legal principles, and relevant case decisions. The data is analyzed using a qualitative method, emphasizing legal interpretation and conceptual analysis. A significant finding is that awards containing elements forbidden under sharia face enforcement challenges, potentially leading to non-recognition in sharia-compliant jurisdictions. To ensure enforceability, awards must adhere to sharia principles and international legal conventions, emphasizing fairness, transparency, and avoiding interest-based mechanisms. Non-compliance risks invalidation or rejection of the award. Abstrak Penelitian ini membahas tantangan dan solusi pelaksanaan putusan arbitrase di yurisdiksi yang menerapkan hukum syariah dan hukum sekuler. Fokus utamanya adalah bagaimana menyusun perjanjian dan putusan arbitrase agar sesuai dengan prinsip syariah sekaligus dapat diberlakukan dalam kedua sistem hukum.

Harm ‘Ḍarar’ In Polygamous Marriage: Analyzing The Legal Framework in Malaysia and Indonesia
type: item
description: While polygamous marriages in Southeast Asia have been studied through various lenses, significant research gaps persist in understanding these practices within the Malaysian and Indonesian contexts. This study comparatively investigates the interpretation of ‘ḍarar shar’ī’, a requirement to contract a polygamous marriage in Malaysia and Indonesia. The study utilized doctrinal study on relevant legislation and case law accompanied by semi-structured interviews. The findings from the doctrinal study are supported by information acquired through semi-structured interviews with Sharia court judges in Malaysia that were selected using a purposive approach. The secondary data were assembled using the library research approach and later analyzed using the thematic and content analysis approach. This study discovers that Malaysia and Indonesia have minor differences in deliberating the concept of harm attached to polygamy application. This is attributed to the different conditions for allowing polygamy in both jurisdictions. The study also discovers that, unlike the other conditions of polygamy, the Syariah court has no specific guidelines in deliberating on the possibility of ḍarar shar’ī before it can grant permission to allow for polygamous marriage. Abstrak Meskipun perkawinan poligami di Asia Tenggara telah dipelajari melalui berbagai sudut pandang, masih terdapat kesenjangan penelitian yang signifikan dalam memahami praktik-praktik ini dalam konteks Malaysia dan Indonesia. Artikel ini mengkaji secara komparatif tentang penafsiran ‘ḍarar syar’ī’ sebagai salah satu syarat untuk memasuki pernikahan poligami di Malaysia dan Indonesia dengan tujuan untuk membuat pedoman tentang penafsiran hukum atas konsep ‘ḍarar syar’ī’. Penelitian ini mengadopsi metode kualitatif yang memanfaatkan studi doktrinal dan wawancara semi terstruktur. Temuan dari studi doktrinal didukung oleh informasi yang diperoleh melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan hakim pengadilan Syariah di Malaysi…

Assessing the Effectiveness of al-Qarḍ al-Ḥasan Financing (A Case Study of Baitul Misykat Microfinance Institution in Aceh)
type: item
description: Al-qarḍ al-ḥasan, a non-profit Islamic financing model, holds great potential in empowering marginalized communities. However, its practical implementation and long-term sustainability within Islamic microfinance institutions (IMFIs) remain limited in research, particularly in terms of integrating non-economic elements, such as spirituality. This study analyzes the effectiveness of al-qarḍ al-ḥasan financing implemented by Baitul Misykat in Aceh, with a focus on spiritual development as a key strategy for economic empowerment. Using a qualitative phenomenological case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Findings show that al-qarḍ al-ḥasan's financing significantly contributes to the economic empowerment of small traders. Effectiveness is influenced by four interrelated factors: strict beneficiary selection, continuous business monitoring, innovative non-monetary repayment incentives, and integration of spiritual development programs. These elements foster borrower discipline, ethical conduct, and business sustainability. The involvement of government officials, religious leaders, and economists enhances institutional capacity and community confidence. This study introduces a novel perspective by demonstrating how spiritual mechanisms can be synergized with Islamic finance to shape ethical entrepreneurial behavior. It offers a scalable and replicable model for IMFIs, suggesting that integrating ethical-spiritual education into financial systems may support poverty alleviation and inclusive development strategies in Muslim-majority societies. Abstrak Al-qarḍ al-ḥasan, sebagai model pembiayaan sosial, memiliki potensi besar dalam memberdayakan komunitas marjinal. Namun, implementasi praktis dan keberlanjutannya pada lembaga keuangan mikro syariah (LKMS) masih minim kajian, terutama terkait integrasi aspek non-ekonomi seperti spiritualitas. Studi ini menganalisis efektivitas pembiayaan al-qa…

The Life of the Terrorist Convicts’ Wives: Unequal Family Dynamics and Islamic Legal Frameworks
type: item
description: This article discussed the lives of the wives of terrorist convicts, including their everyday lives, and the relationship between the wives and their husbands in the terrorist offenders’ families. This theme is important to be examined for the following reasons: Indonesia has experienced a series of bombing actions throughout the country, and the existing studies mainly describe the actors who are mostly men affiliated with radical groups. This article was written based on field research in six places in Indonesia, including Lamongan, Surabaya, Madiun, Bojonegoro (East Java), Surakarta (Central Java), and Yogyakarta. Data were collected using interviews, observations, and documentary studies. The results of this study revealed that the wives of terrorist offenders faced difficulties in their lives, such as economic difficulties as they became the main breadwinners for the family, and they faced stereotyping as the families of terrorist offenders. Furthermore, there were unequal relationships between the wives and the husbands; for instance, most of the wives did not know their husbands' activities related to terrorist actions. This belief is supported by interpretations of Islamic law, which assert that men are leaders with full authority to manage their families and oversee their wives and children. Abstrak: Artikel ini membahas tentang kehidupan istri narapidana teroris, termasuk kehidupan sehari-harinya, serta bagaimana hubungan istri dan suami dalam keluarga pelaku teroris. Tema ini penting untuk dikaji karena beberapa alasan berikut; Indonesia pernah mengalami serangkaian aksi pengeboman yang tersebar di beberapa wilayah di tanah air, dan kajian yang pernah dilakukan, terutama menggambarkan pelaku terorisme yang sebagian besar adalah laki-laki yang berafiliasi dengan kelompok radikal. Artikel ini ditulis berdasarkan penelitian lapangan di enam wilayah di Indonesia meliputi, Lamongan, Surabaya, Madiun, Bojonegoro (Jawa Timur), Surakarta (Jawa Tengah), dan Yogyak…

Interreligious Marriages: Can Couples in Interfaith Marriages Live a Happy Life?
type: item
description: This article posits that families of interfaith couples (Muslims and Christianity/Catholicism) can achieve a state of happiness. Research data were obtained through in-depth interviews with married couples comprising one Indonesian and a British partner, aged between 25 and 40 years, residing in Indonesia and the United Kingdom, and representing diverse religious and cultural backgrounds The study revealed that the Islamic concept of sakīnah family embodies a totality of mercy (raḥmah) and love (mawaddah) inherently present in each couple's heart. The findings suggest that happiness in interreligious or interfaith marriages can be attributed to the profound love shared by the spouses. Love can develop and grow in a romantic, intimate, passionate, and committed relationship, provided there is a willingness to accept responsibility for maintaining it. Accordingly, these research findings may have implications for a new understanding of the sakīnah family, which, thus far, has been based upon the standard of couples having a common faith in a same-religion marriage. Nonetheless, further studies are needed to investigate whether couples in interfaith and interreligious marriages continue to lead happy lives in their old age. Abstrak Artikel ini menjelaskan bahwa keluarga pasangan beda agama (Muslim dan Kristen/Katolik) bisa mencapai kehidupan yang bahagia. Data penelitian diperoleh dari wawancara mendalam dengan pasangan dari latar belakang agama dan budaya yang berbeda berusia 25-40 tahun yang berasal dari Indonesia dan Inggris. Penelitian menemukan bahwa konsep keluarga sakinah dalam ajaran Islam adalah totalitas rahmat (raḥmah) atau cinta (mawaddah) yang ada dan melekat dalam hati setiap pasangan. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebahagiaan dalam hubungan suami istri dalam perkawinan beda agama dapat ditemukan karena besarnya rasa cinta yang dimiliki oleh pasangan tersebut. Cinta dapat tumbuh dan berkembang dalam suatu hubungan yang bersifat romantis, intim, pe…

Policing, Ḥisbah & the Present Challenges of Religious Law Enforcement in Malaysia
type: item
description: This article explores the concept of ḥisbah, which is commanding the good and forbidding the evil, and the practice of religious policing in Malaysia. It discusses the role of Religious Enforcement Officers within the framework of sharia criminal law. By using the qualitative doctrinal research approach, the study analyses statutory provisions and scholarly literature to identify operational issues in religious enforcement. Findings reveal that religious enforcement officers (REOs) operate within clear legal frameworks, leading to the consistent application of the law, and are regulated by the Shariah Criminal Procedure Law. There are several key challenges in performing these duties, including ambiguous statutory provisions, evidentiary difficulties, loopholes in addressing new and complex offences, and tensions between enforcement duties and privacy concerns. The article concludes that to maintain legitimacy and public trust, reforms are necessary to clarify legal ambiguities and ensure that enforcement remains within lawful and ethical boundaries, thereby balancing religious duties and civil liberties. Abstrak Artikel ini mengkaji konsep ḥisbah, yaitu memerintahkan yang ma’ruf dan mencegah yang munkar, serta praktik polisi agama di Malaysia. Artikel ini membahas peran petugas penegakkan agama dalam kerangka hukum pidana syariah. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan penelitian doktrinal kualitatif, studi ini menganalisis ketentuan perundang-undangan dan literatur akademik untuk mengidentifikasi isu operasional dalam penegakkan agama. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa petugas penegakkan agama beroperasi dalam kerangka hukum yang jelas, sehingga penerapan hukum berlangsung secara konsisten, dan diatur oleh Undang-Undang Prosedur Pidana Syariah. Ada beberapa tantangan utama dalam melaksanakan tugas ini, termasuk ketentuan undang-undang yang ambigu, kesulitan pembuktian, celah hukum dalam menangani pelanggaran baru dan kompleks, serta ketegangan antara tugas penegakkan dan masalah pr…

The Principle of Proportionality in Armed Conflict under International Law and Islam
type: item
description: Proportionality plays a critical role in limiting the harms caused by armed conflict, particularly those affecting civilians and public infrastructure. However, the implementation of this principle can be challenging due to the uncertainties in customary international law status. This leads to differences in legal interpretation and the lack of transparency in military decision-making. This study investigates the principle of proportionality in armed conflict, focusing on its interpretation and application in international law and Islamic jurisprudence. The research examines the similarities and differences between Islamic jurisprudence and international humanitarian law on targeting, use of force, and treatment of non-combatants and detainees. The paper uses normative legal research methodology to explore the legal foundations and practical implications of proportionality in armed conflict, comparing legal frameworks like the Geneva Conventions, Additional Protocols, the Rome Statute, and Islamic legal literature. The study reveals commonalities and differences between International Humanitarian Law and Islamic law. The findings highlight the crucial role in reducing the impact of armed conflicts on civilians and infrastructure. The study advocates for ongoing dialogue and cooperation to improve global adherence to proportionality in armed conflicts. Abstrak Prinsip proporsionalitas berperan penting dalam membatasi dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh konflik bersenjata, khususnya terhadap warga sipil dan infrastruktur publik. Namun, penerapan prinsip ini menghadapi berbagai tantangan akibat ketidakpastian statusnya dalam hukum kebiasaan internasional. Hal ini menyebabkan perbedaan dalam interpretasi hukum serta kurangnya transparansi dalam pengambilan keputusan militer. Penelitian ini mengkaji prinsip proporsionalitas dalam konflik bersenjata, dengan fokus pada interpretasi dan penerapannya dalam hukum internasional dan yurisprudensi Islam. Selanjutnya, studi ini menganal…

Sacralizing the Market? The Role of DSN–MUI in the Legal-Economic Legitimacy of Islamic Banking in Indonesia
type: item
description: This study explores the complex interplay between religion and economic rationality in the legitimization of Indonesia’s Islamic banking industry. Focusing on the legal authority of the National Sharia Board–Indonesian Ulama Council (DSN–MUI), the research critically examines how fatwas and regulatory accommodations enable Islamic banks to replicate conventional banking practices in pursuit of accelerated growth. Using a qualitative documentary analysis of DSN–MUI fatwas and Indonesia’s banking regulations, the study finds that the DSN–MUI increasingly adopts an accommodative stance by employing istiḥsān bi al-ʿurf wa al-maṣlaḥah (juristic preference based on custom and public interest) to legitimize practices favorable to Islamic banks. While this approach facilitates rapid institutional development, it also raises concerns over the convergence between Islamic and conventional banking models, potentially diluting the normative distinctiveness of Islamic finance. These findings contribute to the broader discourse on Sharia governance, regulatory pragmatism, and the political economy of Islamic finance in Muslim-majority contexts. Abstrak Studi ini menganalisis keterkaitan antara dimensi keagamaan dan rasionalitas ekonomi dalam proses legitimasi industri perbankan syariah di Indonesia. Dengan menitikberatkan pada peran otoritatif Dewan Syariah Nasional–Majelis Ulama Indonesia (DSN–MUI), penelitian ini mengevaluasi secara kritis bagaimana fatwa dan kebijakan regulator digunakan untuk membenarkan praktik-praktik perbankan syariah yang menyerupai sistem konvensional demi mendorong pertumbuhan yang lebih cepat. Melalui analisis dokumen kualitatif terhadap fatwa DSN–MUI dan regulasi perbankan nasional, temuan menunjukkan bahwa DSN–MUI semakin menunjukkan pendekatan akomodatif dengan menggunakan istiḥsān bi al-ʿurf wa al-maṣlaḥah (preferensi hukum berdasarkan kebiasaan dan kemaslahatan) sebagai dasar legitimasi syariah terhadap kebijakan yang mendukung kepentingan bank…

The Silent Tarekat in Islamic Law: Legal Consciousness and the Chishti Sufi Legacy of the Tablighi Jamaat
type: item
description: This article explores the silent legal and spiritual framework of the Tablighi Jamaat (TJ) in Indonesia, drawing on fieldwork, interviews, and textual analysis. While TJ does not claim to be a Sufi order (ṭarīqah), its practices suggest a reconfiguration of the Chishti-Ḥanafī legacy within a non-institutional framework. The study argues that TJ operates as a "silent tarekat", where fiqh is embodied through routines of taʿlīm, khurūj, and adab, rather than articulated through fatwā or formal legal discourse. The article traces how collective reasoning (mushāwarah), ethical discipline, and ritual repetition form an alternative legal consciousness that resists codification but remains deeply normative. Drawing from Talal Asad's theory of discursive tradition and Ibn' Arabi's notion of 'ilm al-aḥwāl, the paper shows how authority, legality, and spirituality are distributed through embodied discipline rather than textual claims. Contrasting with mainstream Islamic institutions in Indonesia like NU, Muhammadiyah, and MUI, which rely on fatwā issuance and formal jurisprudence, TJ emphasizes humility, action, and affective cohesion. The article concludes that TJ represents a post-ṭarīqah legal formation, silent, affective, and decentralized, redefining Islamic normativity through practice rather than proclamation. Abstrak Artikel ini menelusuri kerangka hukum dan spiritual Jamaah Tabligh (JT) di Indonesia yang bersifat diam-diam namun terstruktur, berdasarkan observasi lapangan, wawancara, dan kajian teks. Meskipun Jamaah Tabligh tidak mengklaim diri sebagai tarekat, namun praktiknya menunjukkan konfigurasi ulang warisan Chishti-Ḥanafī dalam bentuk non-institusional. Artikel membawa argumentasi bahwa JT berfungsi sebagai “silent tarekat,” yang mana hukum Islam (fiqh) diwujudkan melalui rutinitas ta’līm, khurūj, dan adab, bukan melalui fatwa atau diskursus hukum formal. Artikel ini mencoba melacak bagaimana musawarah, disiplin etis, dan pengulangan ritual membentuk kesadar…

Islamic Law and the Blasphemy Debate in Contemporary Indonesia
type: item
description: Blasphemy is a sensitive and complex issue in Indonesia, the largest Muslim-majority country in the world. This article examines the regulation of blasphemy, which often clashes with Indonesia's social, cultural, and political dynamics. It evaluates the reconstruction of blasphemy laws through the lens of maqāṣid al-‘uqūbāt in Islamic law. The study concludes that reconstructing the blasphemy law is necessary as part of legal reform that aligns with Indonesia's constitutional principles of the rule of law and democracy. This reconstruction should integrate Islamic legal principles based on maqāṣid al-‘uqūbāt in several key areas, including defining the legal subjects of blasphemy, providing clarification as part of the resolution process by considering shubhāt and al-dan ta'wīl, and developing mechanisms for resolving blasphemy cases. The urgency for reform arises from several critical factors: the ambiguous formulation of blasphemy norms, which significantly impacts court decisions; the absence of consistent justice-based law enforcement mechanisms; disparate treatment toward certain groups; and the tendency to generalize blasphemy cases as criminal acts due to a lack of alternative measures. These issues reflect legal uncertainty and the potential misuse of blasphemy laws for political purposes. Abstrak Penistaan agama merupakan isu yang sensitif dan kompleks di Indonesia, negara berpenduduk mayoritas Muslim terbesar di dunia. Artikel ini mengkaji pengaturan penodaan agama yang sering kali berbenturan dengan dinamika sosial, budaya, dan politik di Indonesia. Artikel ini mengevaluasi rekonstruksi hukum penodaan agama melalui lensa maqāṣid al-'uqūbāt dalam hukum Islam. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa rekonstruksi undang-undang penodaan agama diperlukan sebagai bagian dari reformasi hukum yang selaras dengan prinsip-prinsip konstitusional Indonesia tentang negara hukum dan demokrasi. Rekonstruksi ini harus mengintegrasikan prinsip-prinsip hukum Islam berdasarkan ma…

Balancing Orthodoxy and Flexibility: Substantive and Accommodative Approaches to Women’s Rights in Qaradawi's Fiqh
type: item
description: The initiation of the minority fiqh concept for Muslims in countries with a non-Muslim majority is like a coin with two sides. On one side, it is seen as a threat to the established schools with their structured and well-defined methodologies, as it is often suspected of involving talfīq—combining opinions from various schools by selecting the most lenient fatwas. On the other hand, this concept represents an intellectual innovation aimed at helping minority Muslims remain committed to the principles of sharia amid a reality that does not fully support their religious practices. This paper critically investigates whether Qaraḍāwī adheres to a consistent methodology he designed, specifically whether he remains faithful to the principles he espouses or deviates by selectively borrowing opinions across schools. Taking some of his fatwas contained in his book entitled Fī Fiqh al-Aqalliyyāt al-Muslimah as the main object, this study argues that Qaraḍāwī, although, does talfīq in his fatwa by borrowing opinions from several ulama or schools, he consistently adheres to the methodology he established. This approach offers a legal framework that is accommodative yet rich in pragmatic nuances, resulting from a consistent synthesis of various opinions. Furthermore, on a broader scale, this concept provides a framework that balances flexibility with orthodoxy. Abstrak Inisiasi gagasan fikih minoritas bagi umat Muslim di negara-negara dengan mayoritas non-Muslim ibarat koin dengan dua sisi. Di satu sisi, konsep ini dianggap sebagai ancaman bagi mazhab-mazhab yang memiliki struktur dan metodologi yang sudah mapan, karena kerap kali dicurigai mengandung unsur talfīq —menggabungkan pendapat dari berbagai mazhab dengan memilih fatwa yang paling ringan. Namun, di sisi lain, gagasan ini merupakan inovasi intelektual yang berupaya menjembatani Muslim minoritas agar tetap dapat berkomitmen pada prinsip-prinsip syariah di tengah realitas yang tidak sepenuhnya mendukung praktik keag…

Interfaith Inheritance in Muslim Families in Indonesia: Practices, Philosophy, and the Direction of National Inheritance Law Development
type: item
description: This article examines the mechanisms of inheritance resolution in cases of different religions in several regions of Indonesia, namely North Sumatera, Central Java, Bengkulu, and East Java, focusing on integrating customary law, religious law, and state law in inheritance distribution. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, where data is gathered through interviews, observations, and literature reviews on the practice of inheritance among families with different religions. The findings reveal that family deliberation remains the primary principle in resolving inheritance disputes despite the religious differences among heirs. Social and cultural values such as kinship, mutual assistance, and interfaith tolerance play a significant role in the inheritance process, with each region having its own ways of accommodating religious differences within families. The legal pluralism approach, which combines customary law, religious law, and state law, forms the foundation for developing a fair and inclusive national inheritance law. This article suggests strengthening the principle of deliberation, creating an adaptive legal unification, and formulating inclusive regulations for interfaith inheritance rights to create a harmonious and just inheritance system that aligns with the spirit of Indonesia's cultural diversity.

type: item
description: The people of Nagari Sungai Tanang, Banuhampu District, have long performed waqf by raising fish in a large pond that the community calls Tabek Gadang. When the waqf fish are ready to be harvested, thousands of fishermen catch some of the fish several times, and the money from fishing can be used to finance mosques, prayer rooms, and other things. Some fish are sold to traders, and others are shared or fought over by the community. It is important to conduct this study to analyze Carotai Waqf in the Nagari Sungai Tanang community by exploring the values that the community considered in carrying out this tradition and how was istiḥsān view towards it, considering that this activity originated from land waqf in the form of Tabek Gadang, produced through the istiḥsān approach. A qualitative method with an ethnographic approach was used to answer the focus of this research. The result showed that people carried out Carotai Waqf to pass on the values of togetherness and kinship and to foster the nature of trust to the next generation. Even though in terms of general arguments, no one regulated or allowed it, turning to other arguments based on istiḥsān with ijmā’, this can be used to continue the tradition of Carotai Waqf. Abstrak Masyarakat Nagari Sungai Tanang Kecamatan Banuhampu sudah lama melaksanakan wakaf dengan pemeliharaan ikan di sebuah kolam ikan besar yang oleh masyarakat disebut Tabek Gadang. Setelah ikan-ikan dari wakaf itu siap panen, sebagian dipancingkan beberapa kali pemancingan dengan ribuan para pemancing dan uang hasil pemancingan tersebut dapat dipergunakan untuk pembiayaan masjid, mushalla dan peruntukkan lain. Sebagian dijual kepada para pedagang, dan sebagian lain dicarotaikan atau diperebutkan oleh ribuan masyarakat.

Exploring Abhakalan Culture (Early Marriage) in Madura: A Dialogue of Customary Law, Religion, and The State
type: item
description: This study explores the culture of Abhakalan in Madura in the context of early marriage, analyzing its intersections with customary law, religion, and the state. While aimed at preserving family honor, this practice often prioritizes the principle of ḍarran (harm), leading to gender inequality and injustices toward women. The research seeks to evaluate the implications of this cultural practice on women's rights and gender equality, using an empirical legal method grounded in conflict theory and social change, combined with Islamic concepts of ‘urf (accepted custom), naf'an (benefit), and ḍarran (harm). Findings indicate that Abhakalan culture denies women agency in marriage decisions, perpetuating stereotypes of female inferiority and limiting their opportunities for empowerment and education. This study highlights the need for cultural reform through gender advocacy, mindset shifts, and family economic empowerment. By fostering dialogue among customary law, religion, and state policies, the research underscores pathways to equitable and sustainable gender equality. Abstrak Penelitian ini mengkaji budaya Abhakalan di Madura dalam konteks pernikahan dini dengan menganalisis keterkaitannya dengan hukum adat, agama, dan negara. Meskipun bertujuan menjaga kehormatan keluarga, praktik ini sering mengedepankan prinsip ḍarran (bahaya) yang berujung pada ketidakadilan terhadap perempuan dan ketimpangan gender. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi dampak budaya ini terhadap hak-hak perempuan dan kesetaraan gender, menggunakan metode hukum empiris yang berlandaskan teori konflik dan perubahan sosial, serta konsep Islam seperti ‘urf (adat yang diterima), naf’an (manfaat), dan ḍarran (kerugian). Temuan menunjukkan bahwa budaya Abhakalan mengabaikan hak perempuan dalam pengambilan keputusan terkait pernikahan, memperkuat stereotip inferioritas perempuan, serta membatasi peluang pendidikan dan pemberdayaan mereka. Penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya reformasi budaya mela…

The State of Indonesia’s Marriage Law: 50 Years of Statutory and Judicial Reforms
type: item
description: Because of its entanglement with religious norms, Muslim family law reform is a sensitive issue. In Indonesia, the validity, rights, and responsibilities pertaining to Muslim marriage and divorce are regulated by the 1974 Marriage Law and the 1991 Compilation of Islamic Law. The 1974 Marriage Law is both general and pluralistic in character, since it introduced general reforms applying to all religions, while leaving other matters to the legal regimes attached to a person’s religion. Muslim family law norms, including several new reforms, were subsequently laid down in the 1991 Compilation of Islamic Law. After 1991, statutory reform of Muslim family law stalled, as differences in opinion between liberal and conservative Muslims proved unbridgeable. This paper argues that, despite these divisions, reform continued – not by actions of the legislative, but by actions of the courts. These actions take two forms: first, the form of court decisions, specifically “activist” judgments by the Supreme Court and judicial review decisions by the Constitutional Court; and second, the form of Supreme Court guidelines that following the introduction of the chamber system in 2011 are issued annually by means of Supreme Court Circulars. By reinterpreting family law norms in light of women’s and children’s rights, we will show how courts initiated significant non-statutory reforms of Muslim family law. Thus, exactly 50 years following the birth of the 1974 Marriage Law, we shed new light on the role of judicial institutions in reforming and reinterpreting Muslim family law in Indonesia. Abstrak: Reformasi hukum keluarga Islam selalu menjadi isu sensitif karena berkelindan dengan norma-norma agama. Di Indonesia, keabsahan, hak, dan tanggung jawab perkawinan dan perceraian diatur dalam Undang-Undang Perkawinan Tahun 1974 (UU Perkawinan 1974) dan Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI) Tahun 1991. UU Perkawinan 1974 merupakan produk hukum yang umum dan plural. Artinya, UU Perkawinan 1974 memperken…

The Quest for Third Gender Equality: Challenges and Implications for Islamic Law and Muslim Women's Sustainability in Malaysia
type: item
description: Fundamentally, men and women constitute the two primary gender binaries in the construction of human society. Khunthā, however, refers to individuals with anomalies. There are no specific exemptions regarding this group in the discourse of Islamic law. Recently, the third gender group has been advocating for equal rights with the binary gender group. Although the third gender is not recognized in Islam, efforts to acknowledge them have been increasing in certain Islamic nations, including Malaysia. They argue that they are assigned to an incorrect gender. Consequently, individuals transition to a different gender identity, such as trans-women or trans-men. The universalism of Western human rights serves as inspiration for the demand for third-gender rights, which opposes local religious and cultural norms. Additionally, this paper explores the implications of third-gender recognition on Muslim women and the sustainability of Islamic law in Malaysia. This qualitative study employs the library research process to collect relevant documentation to achieve the objective. Content analysis of the gathered material was conducted inductively to assess the implications of the third gender claim on Islamic law and women. According to the study's findings, recognizing the third gender's ambition for equality would lead to modifications in laws and the diminishment of women's rights as they would have to share resources and benefits with biological males. Abstrak Secara fundamental, laki-laki dan perempuan membentuk dua biner gender utama dalam konstruksi masyarakat manusia. Khunthā, bagaimanapun, merujuk pada individu dengan anomali. Dalam diskursus hukum Islam, tidak ada pengecualian khusus mengenai kelompok ini. Baru-baru ini, kelompok gender ketiga telah mulai memperjuangkan kesetaraan hak dengan kelompok gender biner. Meskipun gender ketiga tidak diakui dalam Islam, upaya untuk mengakui mereka semakin meningkat di beberapa negara Islam termasuk Malaysia. Mereka berargumen …

Contextualizing Fiqh al-Siyāsah in Indonesia: A Proposed Typology of Islamic Populism
type: item
description: Amid a political atmosphere increasingly polarized by various forms of populism, this article identifies the typology of Islamic populism in Indonesia from the perspective of Islamic political law. It reveals a new horizon by showing the adaptability of fiqh al-siyāsah to the variants of Islamic populism typology. Drawing from different approaches to Islamic populism studies in Indonesia, the article classifies three typologies of Islamic populism in Indonesia: economic-political populism, political Islamism, and political pragmatism. Each has different characteristics and missions of struggle in the political and social context. This article argues that fiqh al-siyāsah functions not only as a tool of legitimacy but also as an adaptive framework that responds to contemporary political dynamics. This adaptability not only refers to the contextualization of sharia principles but also involves adaptations that shape and give birth to more inclusive and beneficial political policies and practices within the framework of Islamic populism in Indonesia. This article expands the horizon of how the integration of political principles of Islamic law in populist movements can influence the dynamics and political policies in Indonesia Abstrak Di tengah suasana politik yang makin terpolarisasi oleh berbagai bentuk populisme, artikel ini mengidentifikasi tipologi populisme Islam di Indonesia dari perspektif hukum politik Islam. Artikel ini mengungkap cakrawala baru dengan menunjukkan adaptabilitas fiqh al-siyāsah terhadap varian tipologi populisme Islam. Mengacu pada beberapa pendekatan studi populisme Islam di Indonesia, artikel ini mengklasifikasikan tiga tipologi populisme Islam di Indonesia: populisme ekonomi-politik, Islamisme politik, dan pragmatisme politik. Masing-masing memiliki karakteristik dan misi perjuangan yang berbeda dalam konteks politik dan sosial. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa fiqh al-siyāsah berfungsi tidak hanya sebagai alat legitimasi tetapi juga sebagai ker…
