Abstract

This study critiques Malaysia’s traditional income-based classifications (B40, M40, T20) for failing to capture multidimensional poverty amid rising living costs and regional disparities. It introduces Islamic economic concepts—al-kafaf (minimum subsistence threshold) and al-kifayah (broader sufficiency standard)—as alternative frameworks for assessing household income within modern B20, M50, and T30 classifications. Using qualitative methodology combining case studies with conceptual-comparative analysis, the research examines the limitations of conventional income metrics. Findings show that traditional classifications effectively show income gaps but inadequately reflect actual living costs and regional economic variations. Al-kafaf establishes a basic survival baseline, while al-kifayah offers a holistic measure incorporating education access, healthcare, and quality of life. This integration improves welfare and zakat targeting while contributing to more equitable policymaking frameworks. The study advances Islamic economic theory by proposing a holistic approach to measuring economic well-being that better aligns with current socioeconomic realities. The primary academic contribution of this study lies in the development of a more contextual and multidimensional Islamic economic framework for evaluating household well-being. Furthermore, the research expands the horizons of Islamic economic theory by offering a normative-practical approach to income assessment while also providing a new conceptual foundation for policymakers to design income classifications that are more adaptive to contemporary socioeconomic realities

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the regulations and procedures governing polygamy in Indonesia and Malaysia and to evaluate their effectiveness in providing legal protection for women and children. The study employs a normative legal methodology, incorporating legislative, comparative, and conceptual approaches. Data consisting of legislation, court decisions, and legal literature were analyzed qualitatively using Lawrence M. Friedman’s theory of legal systems—which encompasses legal substance, structure, and culture—as well as the theory of maqāṣid al-sharīa to assess protections for life, lineage, and property. The results of the study indicate that both countries share similarities in the basic regulations, restrictions, licensing procedures, and practices regarding polygamy, but differ in their legal protection mechanisms. Malaysia imposes sanctions for violations of polygamy laws, requires verification of the husband’s financial capacity, and provides a mechanism for legalizing unregistered polygamy to ensure that the rights of wives and children remain protected. In contrast, unregistered polygamy in Indonesia faces difficulties in obtaining legal recognition because it depends on the fulfillment of formal requirements; consequently, protection for women and children remains suboptimal and does not fully reflect the principles of maqāṣid al-sharīa. This study contributes to the integration of the substantive, structural, and cultural dimensions of law as the basis for reforming polygamy regulations in a way that is more focused on protecting the rights of women and children.
