Abstract

Background. Understanding the meaning of legal verses in the Qur’an requires a rigorous linguistic approach, as Qur’anic law is articulated through highly nuanced Arabic structures, vocabulary, and rhetorical devices. Many misinterpretations of Islamic legal texts stem from insufficient mastery of Arabic language rules, including morphology, syntax, semantics, and contextual pragmatics. Purpose. This study aims to examine how Arabic language rules function as a foundational framework for accurately interpreting the meaning of law in the Qur’an and for deriving sound legal understanding. Method. The research employs a qualitative library-based methodology, utilizing textual analysis of selected Qur’anic legal verses alongside classical works of Arabic grammar (na?w and ?arf), semantics, and Qur’anic exegesis. Data are analyzed through comparative and contextual analysis to identify the relationship between linguistic rules and legal interpretation. Results. The findings demonstrate that Arabic grammatical structures, semantic precision, and rhetorical patterns play a decisive role in determining legal meaning, scope, and implication within Qur’anic texts. Variations in case endings, verb forms, and syntactic constructions significantly influence legal interpretation and normative conclusions. Conclusion. The study concludes that mastery of Arabic language rules is not supplementary but essential for understanding Qur’anic law, as linguistic competence safeguards legal interpretation from reductionism and textual misreading, thereby ensuring methodological accuracy in Islamic legal studies.

Abstract

Background. The development of Islamic law in Indonesia reflects ongoing efforts to reconcile normative fiqh with social realities within a plural legal system. The concept of social fiqh has emerged as a dynamic approach that emphasizes public interest, contextual reasoning, and responsiveness to societal change, particularly in the domains of criminal and civil law. Purpose. This study aims to analyze comparatively how social fiqh informs the formulation and implementation of Islamic criminal law and civil law regulations in Indonesia, and to assess its contribution to legal reform. Method. The research employs a qualitative comparative legal approach, combining normative analysis of statutes, court decisions, and fiqh literature with contextual analysis of socio-legal dynamics. Data are analyzed through doctrinal interpretation and comparative frameworks. Results. The findings indicate that, regardless of proficiency level, L1, FLCA, or FLE level, learners prefer more explicit OCF techniques, such as metalinguistics feedback and explicit correction. However, Korean undergraduates scored lower in the majority of OCF strategies (i.e., ignoring, elicitation, recast, explanation, and public feedback) compared to the other participants. Conclusion. The findings indicate that social fiqh plays a more explicit and flexible role in civil law regulations, facilitating adaptation to social needs, legal pluralism, and state law. In contrast, its influence on criminal law remains limited and cautious, constrained by positivist legal principles, human rights considerations, and political sensitivity.
