Asep Syarifuddin Hidayat

Abstract


This article analyzes the difficulties in resolving Sharia economic disputes in the Religious Courts and offers suggestions for improving the efficacy of these dispute resolutions. This study identified many obstacles, such as the limited knowledge and comprehension of religious judges regarding Sharia economic law, the Complexity of disputes and difficult-to-understand evidence, and the slow settlement process and high costs. Through analysis and a review of the relevant literature, this article offers several suggestions for overcoming these obstacles. The first recommendation is to increase religious judges' comprehension of sharia economic law through intensive training and education programs. The second recommendation is to enhance cooperation between Religious Courts and Islamic financial institutions to make dispute resolution more effective. To improve the quality of dispute resolution, the third recommendation is the development of education and training programs for mediators and arbitrators. Utilizing technology in the dispute resolution process to improve efficiency and accessibility is the final recommendation. This article has significant implications for the Religious Courts' Sharia economic dispute resolution system. By implementing the proposed guidance, the resolution of Sharia financial disputes is anticipated to become more efficient, equitable, and consistent with the principles of sharia economic law.
