Istiḥsān and Judicial Recalibration of Marital Property Rights in Indonesia's Religious Courts
type: item
description: This study analyzes the evolution of marital property division (harta bersama) jurisprudence in Indonesia’s Religious Courts through the lens of istiḥsān as a method of Islamic legal reasoning (uṣūl al-fiqh). Traditionally, courts applied a rigid 50:50 division upon divorce or death, grounded in the Compilation of Islamic Law and Law No. 1 of 1974. Recent Supreme Court cassation decisions, however, demonstrate a shift toward proportionate division while maintaining doctrinal coherence. Using doctrinal analysis and a structured synthesis of three leading decisions, this study identifies three jurisprudential patterns: 1) reaffirmation of equal division when deviation is unjustified; 2) calibrated adjustment based on economic contribution, unpaid domestic labor, maintenance failure, and childcare responsibilities; and 3) proper sequencing in death cases by allocating marital property before distributing the estate through inheritance. These rulings operationalize istiḥsān within the maqāṣid al-sharīʿah framework to achieve substantive justice where formal equality undermines fairness. The study proposes a practical framework to enhance consistency, gender justice, and legal certainty in future adjudication. Abstrak Penelitian ini menganalisis perkembangan yurisprudensi pembagian harta bersama di Pengadilan Agama Indonesia melalui pendekatan istiḥsān sebagai metode penalaran hukum Islam (uṣūl al-fiqh). Selama ini, pengadilan cenderung menerapkan pembagian kaku 50:50 dalam perkara perceraian maupun kematian, sebagaimana diatur dalam Kompilasi Hukum Islam dan Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974. Namun, sejumlah putusan kasasi Mahkamah Agung terbaru menunjukkan pergeseran menuju pembagian proporsional tanpa meninggalkan konsistensi doktrinal. Melalui analisis doktrinal dan sintesis terstruktur terhadap tiga putusan kunci, penelitian ini mengidentifikasi tiga pola utama: 1) penguatan pembagian setara ketika tidak terdapat alasan pembeda; 2) penyesuaian proporsional berdasarka…

The Niniak Mamak: Authority, Customary Law Construction, Jamee Tribe, Aceh, Indonesia
type: item
description: This study examines the Niniak Mamak tradition as a customary institution with authority over decision-making and dispute resolution within the Acehnese Jamee community. It explores how the matrilineal Niniak Mamak institution has persisted despite the dominance of a patrilineal social structure and the modern legal system in Aceh. The study analyzes the roles and authority of Niniak Mamak in adjudicating customary legal disputes. Data were collected through field observations and in-depth interviews with Niniak Mamak involved in dispute resolution. The findings show that dispute settlement follows several stages: complaint submission by aggrieved parties, fact-finding investigations, customary deliberation among stakeholders, imposition of sanctions such as fines or community service, and reconciliation through a customary ceremony known as duduak sapapan sapambatang di tangah umah. This process involves Niniak Mamak from both parties to restore social relations and encourage mutual forgiveness between offenders and victims. The decisions produced become binding customary legal norms guiding future dispute resolution. The study concludes that the Niniak Mamak institution remains relevant as a customary dispute resolution mechanism. It continues to function effectively in promoting restorative justice, social harmony, and community-based reconciliation within a changing legal and social context in Aceh. Abstrak Penelitian ini mengkaji tradisi Niniak Mamak sebagai pemimpin adat yang memiliki otoritas dalam pengambilan keputusan adat, termasuk penyelesaian sengketa hukum pada masyarakat Suku Jamee Aceh. Fokus penelitian adalah bagaimana sistem matrilineal yang melekat pada lembaga Niniak Mamak tetap bertahan dan menjalankan fungsi adat di tengah dominasi sistem patrilineal serta perkembangan sistem hukum modern di Aceh. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis peran dan kewenangan Niniak Mamak dalam memutus dan menyelesaikan sengketa hukum adat. Data diperoleh melalui ob…

Human Rights Fulfilment in Lapindo Mudflow-Affected Communities: A Maqāsid Fulfilment Index Approach
type: item
description: Long-term recovery after the Lapindo mudflow cannot be assessed solely by technical rehabilitation, relocation, compensation, or service restoration. This study analyzes human rights fulfillment among affected Muslim communities using a minimum obligation framework based on maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. The five dimensions (religion, life, intellect, family, and wealth) are expressed as 25 rights indicators within the Maqāṣid Fulfilment Index (MFI). Data from 300 respondents in Tanggulangin, Jabon, and Porong were analyzed using normalized scoring, the Kruskal-Wallis test, stakeholder accountability mapping, and normative legal benchmarking. Results show moderate but uneven fulfillment. Life and intellect are relatively stronger, while wealth, compensation, legal aid, documentation, and religious and family support remain weak. This study introduces a measurable tool to link rights deficits with vulnerability, institutional accountability, and recovery pathways in long-term disaster governance. It reframes recovery as a question of measurable protection, responsibility, and remedy over time. Abstrak Pemulihan jangka panjang pasca letusan lumpur Lapindo tidak dapat dinilai hanya melalui rehabilitasi teknis, relokasi, kompensasi, atau pemulihan layanan. Studi ini menilai pemenuhan hak asasi manusia komunitas Muslim terdampak melalui kerangka kewajiban minimum berbasis maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. Lima dimensi yang diukur, yaitu agama, jiwa, akal, keluarga, dan harta, dioperasionalkan menjadi 25 indikator hak dalam Maqāṣid Fulfilment Index (MFI). Data dikumpulkan dari 300 responden di Tanggulangin, Jabon, dan Porong, lalu dianalisis melalui skor ternormalisasi, uji Kruskal Wallis, pemetaan akuntabilitas pemangku kepentingan, dan pembandingan norma hukum. Hasil menunjukkan pemenuhan sedang tetapi tidak merata. Jiwa dan akal relatif lebih kuat, sedangkan harta, kompensasi, bantuan hukum, dokumentasi, serta dukungan agama dan keluarga masih rapuh.

Gender Relational Ethics in the Nyambai Tradition: A Living Fiqh al- Munākahāt Perspective on Ta’āruf among the Lampung Indigenous Community
type: item
description: This study examines the Nyambai tradition as a form of cultural ta’āruf among the Saibatin indigenous community of Lampung through the perspective of living fiqh al-munākahāt. Nyambai is a paired traditional dance performed by muli (young women) and mekhanai (young men) that serves as a medium for social interaction, the introduction of potential marriage partners, and an essential element of customary ceremonies, particularly Nayuh wedding rituals. Beyond its aesthetic function, Nyambai embodies social norms and gender ethics that regulate interactions between men and women within the public customary sphere. This qualitative research employs a legal-ethnographic approach, drawing on participant observation, in-depth interviews with customary leaders, performers, and married couples, and documentary analysis of customary texts and fiqh literature. The findings indicate that Nyambai represents a symbolic and regulated form of ta’āruf consistent with key principles of fiqh al-munākahāt, including the protection of honor, proper social conduct, and family formation. The study also highlights ongoing negotiations between customary norms and Islamic legal interpretations. Abstrak Penelitian ini mengkaji tradisi Nyambai sebagai bentuk budaya ta'āruf di kalangan masyarakat adat Saibatin Lampung melalui perspektif hidup fikih munakahat. Nyambai adalah tarian tradisional berpasangan yang dilakukan oleh muli (wanita muda) dan mekhanai (pria muda), yang berfungsi sebagai media interaksi sosial, pengenalan calon pasangan untuk pernikahan, serta elemen penting dalam upacara adat, terutama dalam ritual pernikahan Nayuh. Di luar fungsi estetikanya, Nyambai mewujudkan norma-norma sosial dan etika gender yang mengatur interaksi antara laki-laki dan perempuan di ranah publik adat. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan pendekatan hukum-etnografi, mengacu pada pengamatan peserta, wawancara mendalam dengan pemimpin adat, pemain, dan pasangan suami istri, serta analisis dokumenter teks …

Unlawfulness Within the Bugo Tradition in Morotai: A Comparative Perspective of Positive Criminal Law & Islamic Criminal Law
type: item
description: The Bugo tradition in Sangowo Village, Morotai Island Regency, is the practice of taking fruit or goods from someone's garden by leaving a sign as notification to the owner. This practice raises legal issues when confronted with theft under the Criminal Code and sariqah in fiqh al-jināyāt. This study employs a legal-empirical or socio-legal method with conceptual and comparative approaches to analyse Bugo's legal status from the perspectives of positive and Islamic criminal law. The results show that although Bugo formally fulfills the elements of Article 476 of the Criminal Code, its material unlawfulness is nullified because it is a living law accepted by the community and qualifies as a reason for criminal exemption outside the law. From the fiqh al-jināyāt perspective, Bugo does not fulfill the elements of khufyah and qaṣd al-sariqah, while strong shubhah from ʿurf nullifies the ḥadd based on the rule of "idrāʾ al-ḥudūd bi al-shubuhāt" (ḥudūd are averted by doubt). Both legal systems have flexible safety valves and consider social context, yet differ in focus: positive criminal law nullifies the act's unlawful nature, whereas Islamic criminal law nullifies the ḥadd penalty even when the act remains shubhah. Abstrak Tradisi Bugo di Desa Sangowo, Kabupaten Pulau Morotai, adalah praktik mengambil buah atau barang dari kebun milik orang lain dengan meninggalkan tanda sebagai pemberitahuan kepada pemiliknya. Praktik ini menimbulkan problematika yuridis ketika dihadapkan pada delik pencurian dalam KUHP dan delik sariqah dalam fikih jinayat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis-empiris atau socio-legal research dengan pendekatan konseptual serta pendekatan komparatif untuk menganalisis status hukum tradisi Bugo dalam perspektif hukum pidana positif dan hukum pidana Islam. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa meskipun tradisi bugo secara formil memenuhi unsur delik Pasal 476 KUHP, sifat melawan hukum materiilnya gugur karena merupakan living law yang diterima masyaraka…

From Corporate Logic to Public Welfare: A Siyāsah Shar‘iyyah Framework for Understanding Indonesian State-Owned Enterprises
type: item
description: The establishment of BPI Danantara as Indonesia’s state-owned enterprise (SOE) super-holding has renewed debates over the balance between state control and market logic in managing strategic public assets. This article examines the normative foundations of SOE governance through the framework of siyāsah shar’iyyah, using a normative-conceptual approach grounded in classical and contemporary fiqh literature and constitutional analysis. The study focuses on two dimensions. First, regarding state authority, the post-reform SOE structure—comprising the State-Owned Enterprises Board (BP BUMN), BPI Danantara, and SOE Boards of Directors—corresponds to the doctrines of wilāyah ‘āmmah and wilāyah khāṣṣah, which justify delegated authority while maintaining accountability to the state. Second, regarding public interest, the principle taṣarruf al-imām manūṭun bi al-maṣlaḥah establishes public welfare as a condition of policy legitimacy. Drawing on al-Gazālī’s classification of maṣlaḥah mursalah, the analysis shows that efficiency gains at the taḥsīniyyāt level cannot justify weakening state control over interests categorized as ḍarūriyyāt. The study concludes that SOE governance must satisfy both constitutional and sharia-based legitimacy by prioritizing the collective public interest. Abstrak Pembentukan BPI Danantara sebagai superholding BUMN Indonesia telah memperbarui perdebatan mengenai keseimbangan antara kontrol negara dan logika pasar dalam pengelolaan aset publik strategis. Artikel ini mengkaji landasan normatif tata kelola BUMN melalui kerangka siyāsah shar'iyyah dengan pendekatan normatif-konseptual yang bertumpu pada literatur fikih klasik dan kontemporer serta analisis konstitusional. Kajian ini berfokus pada dua dimensi. Pertama, terkait kewenangan negara, struktur BUMN pascareformasi yang terdiri atas BP BUMN, BPI Danantara, dan Direksi BUMN sesuai dengan doktrin wilāyah ‘āmmah dan wilāyah khāṣṣah, yang memberikan dasar normatif bagi pendelegasian kewenangan de…

Towards a Sharia Derivatives Law: Harmonizing Religious Fatwas and Financial Regulation in Indonesia
type: item
description: This article examines the legal status of sharia-compliant derivative instruments in Indonesia by analysing the relationship between DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 96/DSN-MUI/IV/2015 and the positive legal framework governing Islamic finance. Although the fatwa permits sharia hedging for genuine risk-management purposes, its legal force remains institutionally incomplete because it has not been fully translated into binding statutory or regulatory instruments. Drawing on normative legal research and a comparative analysis of Malaysia, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates, this article develops a Sharia-Institutional Conformity framework. The framework argues that effective harmonisation requires the simultaneous satisfaction of two conditions: substantive sharia compliance and institutional legal certainty. The Indonesian case shows that the first condition has been substantially met through the DSN-MUI fatwa authority. In contrast, the second remains underdeveloped due to fragmented regulatory integration among DSN-MUI, OJK, Bank Indonesia, and legislative institutions. The article contributes to Islamic financial law by reframing the fatwa-law gap not merely as a problem of regulatory absence, but as a structural failure of institutional translation. It recommends a phased harmonisation model consisting of technical implementing regulations, strengthened cross-agency coordination, and ultimately a Sharia Financial Products Law or dedicated Sharia Derivatives Law. Abstrak Artikel ini mengkaji status hukum instrumen derivatif syariah di Indonesia dengan menganalisis hubungan antara Fatwa DSN-MUI No. 96/DSN-MUI/IV/2015 dan kerangka hukum positif yang mengatur keuangan syariah. Meskipun fatwa tersebut memperbolehkan lindung nilai syariah untuk kebutuhan manajemen risiko yang nyata, kekuatan hukumnya masih belum lengkap secara institusional karena belum sepenuhnya diterjemahkan ke dalam instrumen peraturan yang mengikat. Dengan menggunakan penelitian hukum normatif dan analisis p…

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.

The Secularization of Halal: State Bureaucracy vs Semantic Ethics in Indonesia’s Halal Governance
type: item
description: A deeper conflict within Indonesia’s halal governance system is exposed by the controversy over halal certification for goods bearing names associated with haram concepts. This study examines the historical development of halal-certification organizations, sociological factors influencing halal assurance among producers and consumers, and the public response to the moral conundrum posed by halal-certified goods with names inappropriate to their religions, using a sociological–historical methodology. Primary data was gathered from documents and digital media sources using qualitative methods. The legal-semiotic anomaly appears in Law No. 33/2014 on Halal Product Assurance, where material consideration enables controversial names (such as haram, immoral, or occult elements) to be considered halal due to legal permissibility, creating a separation between halal as a material (legal) aspect and halal as an identity (semantic-ethical). The results show that this anomaly can be explained by an epistemic tension between positivist law and religious ethics, in which the former deems naming insignificant while the latter views the name as part of the meaning of halal. The problem lies in halal governance, where the notion of Halal-Identity is employed as a framework emphasising halal as an identity concept. Abstrak Konflik mendalam dalam sistem tata kelola halal di Indonesia tampak dari kontroversi sertifikasi halal pada produk yang menggunakan nama berasosiasi dengan konsep ḥaram. Studi ini mengkaji perkembangan historis lembaga sertifikasi halal, faktor sosiologis yang memengaruhi jaminan halal di kalangan produsen dan konsumen, serta respons publik terhadap dilema moral dari produk bersertifikat halal dengan nama yang tidak sesuai secara keagamaan, menggunakan pendekatan sosiologis-historis.

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.

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.

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…

Re-examining the Consistency of al-Māwardī’s Interpretative Method on Jināyāt Verses
type: item
description: Amid accusations of al-Māwardī’s theological alignment with the Muʿtazilite and criticisms that his interpretation of the jināyah (criminal law) verses contradicts human values, this study highlights the anthropocentric nature of his exegetical approach. By analyzing his commentary on jināyah verses, it demonstrates how he employs the tafsīr bi al-ma’thūr (tradition-based) method—relying on the hadith and accounts from the Prophet’s companions and the tābi’īn—which characterizes his work as tafsīr jam’i al-aqwāl (an eclectic method). In presenting the perspectives of the companions and classical scholars, al-Māwardī’s commentary shares similarities with that of al-Ṭabarī (though less comprehensive), Ibn al-Jawzī’s Zād al-Masīr, and al-Ṣābūnī’s Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr. However, it diverges significantly from al-Ṣābūnī’s other work, Rawā’i‘ al-Bayān Tafsīr Āyāt al-Aḥkām. Furthermore, this research proves that al-Māwardī consistently applies the Shāfi‘ī method of legal deduction (istinbāṭ al-ḥukm), wherein legal rulings must fundamentally derive from the Quran, hadith, opinions of the companions, takhyīr (option), ijmā‘ (consensus), and istidlāl (inferential reasoning). Abstrak Di tengah tudingan teologi al-Māwardī yang menganut Muʿtazilah, dan metode penafsiran ayat-ayat jinayat-nya yang menurut sebagian kalangan bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan, artikel ini justru menyoroti metode penafsirannya yang antroposentris. Dengan menganalisis penafsirannya pada ayat-ayat jināyah melalui metode tafsir bi al-ma’thūr yang mendasarkan pada hadis dan riwayat para sahabat dan tābi’īn, tafsir al-Māwardī bercorak tafsīr jam’i al-aqwāl (metode eklektik). Tafsir al-Māwardī memiliki kesamaan dengan tafsir al-Ṭabarī, (meski tidak sekomprehensif al-Ṭabarī), tafsir Ibn al-Jauzī dalam kitab Zād al-Masīr, dan tafsir al-Ṣābūnī dalam kitab Ṣafwah al-Tafsīr yang juga menghadirkan pendapat-pendapat sahabat dan ulama. Akan tetapi, tafsir ini berbeda dengan kitab al-Ṣābūnī dalam Rawāi’ al-Bā…

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. Studi ini menekankan pentingnya menciptakan lingkungan yang aman dan mendukung bagi wanita dalam persalinan serta bayi baru lahir di rumah sakit bersalin. Dasar metodologis artikel ini adal…

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. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya tingkat keselarasan yang signifikan antara prinsip dasar dalam fikih Mālikī t…

Islamic Sale & Purchase Principles in Decentralized Exchanges: An Evaluation of Sharia Compliance
type: item
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.

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.

Pluralism of Islamic Law in Aceh: Qanun Jinayat in the Framework of the Indonesian New Criminal Code
type: item
description: This study analyzes normative conflicts between Aceh's Qanun Jinayat and the new Criminal Code through a legal pluralism framework. The focus centers on significant differences in criminal act formulations, juridical elements, and sanctions—particularly for khamr, adultery, and khalwat violations. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research draws on analysis of relevant legislation and in-depth interviews with Sharia Court judges and jinayat law practitioners in Aceh. The study reveals that legal pluralism in Aceh is dynamic, reflecting political tensions between central and regional authorities. Qanun Jinayat, rooted in fiqh al-jināyāt, now faces normative opposition from Article 613 of the new Criminal Code — a condition that requires systematic legal harmonization while risking the erosion of Aceh's long-held special autonomy. As an original contribution, this study proposes a "dual law enforcement" model to accommodate Aceh's religious and cultural specificities without sacrificing national legal unity. Sanctions such as caning should be replaced with rehabilitative alternatives better aligned with contemporary human rights principles. This research contributes meaningfully to the asymmetric decentralization discourse and to the understanding of the complex socio-political implications within special autonomous regions. Abstrak Penelitian ini menganalisis konflik normatif antara Qanun Jinayat Aceh dan KUHP baru melalui kerangka teoritis pluralisme hukum. Fokus kajian tertuju pada perbedaan signifikan dalam rumusan tindak pidana, unsur-unsur yuridis, dan jenis sanksi, khususnya untuk pelanggaran khamr, zina, dan khalwat. Menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus, penelitian ini didukung analisis peraturan perundang-undangan relevan serta wawancara mendalam dengan hakim Mahkamah Syar'iyah dan praktisi hukum jinayat di Aceh. Studi ini mengungkapkan bahwa pluralisme hukum di Aceh bersifat dinamis, mencerminkan tarik-ulur politik antara p…

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…

Between Fiqh and Adat: Negotiating Inheritance Law among the Bugis Community of Wajo
type: item
description: The Bugis community in Wajo has a distinct inheritance law that differs from those of other regions in Indonesia. In lieu of applying the law precisely as it is specified in Islamic fiqh, they adapt it to reflect the dominant local culture. The objective of this research is to elucidate the conflict between the Islamic fiqh-based inheritance law and the indigenous customs of the Bugis community residing in Wajo, South Sulawesi. By examining manuscript evaluations and oral traditions prevalent in the local community, this research uncovers the nature of contestation over inheritance distribution, as well as the factors and consequences that contribute to it. In the practice of inheritance division, the Bugis community in Wajo prioritizes the benefits of cohabitation to reduce disputes arising from asset division, according to this study's findings. Gender equality is of significant importance to them, and they regard mutual agreement as the standard by which they seek to reconcile legitimate interests and ensure an equitable distribution of inheritance. Abstrak Masyarakat Bugis di Wajo memiliki hukum waris yang berbeda dengan hukum waris di wilayah lain di Indonesia. Mereka tidak menggunakan hukum yang diterapkan dalam fikih secara an-sich, melainkan dimodifikasi dengan budaya lokal yang berlaku. Artikel ini mengungkap kontestasi yang terjadi antara hukum warisan yang dituangkan dalam fikih dengan budaya lokal yang dianut masyarakat Bugis di Wajo, Sulawesi Selatan. Metode penelitian ini bersumber dari manuskrip dan tradisi lisan yang digunakan dan berlaku dalam masyarakat setempat. Penelitian ini mengungkap wujud dari kontestasi yang terjadi dalam pembagian harta warisan, faktor, dan implikasi dari kontestasi tersebut. Hasil temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam praktik pembagian warisan masyarakat Bugis di Wajo memprioritaskan kemashalahatan hidup bersama sehingga dapat meminimalisir konflik yang terjadi akibat pembagian harta warisan ini. Bagi mereka, keset…

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…
