Abstract

Article 2 of Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code recognizes “living law” as a basis for criminal punishment but does not provide adequate criteria to distinguish customary norms that deserve penal force from those that risk reproducing injustice. The core problem is epistemic incompleteness in validating customary norms, which risks institutionalizing injustice, as reflected in discriminatory local policies and gender‑asymmetric customary sanctions. This normative legal study employs a comparative‑epistemological approach, operationalizing the doctrine of ‘urf in uṣūl al‑fiqh as its analytical framework. Three main findings emerge. First, the epistemology of ‘urf offers a structured mechanism for validating norms through the ‘urf ṣaḥīḥ–‘urf fāsid distinction and its corrective function. Second, reading Article 2 through this lens reveals three structural alignments and five epistemological tensions, with the absence of a corrective function as the most fundamental weakness. Third, four verification standards social, substantive, temporal, and authoritative are formulated as an operational framework for the derivative regulations mandated by Article 2(3). The article thus positions Islamic law as an epistemological partner that transcends the formalization marginalization dichotomy and frames decolonization of criminal law as an epistemological transformation of the sources, limits, and legitimacy of punishment.

Abstract

This article examines the characteristics and transformations of Islamic law in the Islamic sultanates of Indonesia through a historical-normative approach combined with comparative analysis. The study aims to identify patterns of Islamic law implementation and to analyze its dynamic relationship with customary law (adat) and political authority during the pre-colonial period. Data were collected through library-based research, including legal manuscripts, royal chronicles, customary texts, and relevant scholarly literature. The findings demonstrate that Islamic law in the Islamic sultanates of Indonesia did not develop as a uniform or rigid system, but rather evolved in diverse, contextual, and adaptive forms. Four main models of Islamic law implementation are identified: normative-social, normative-formal, integrative adat–sharia, and legal codification models. These variations were shaped by local social structures, political authority, and indigenous legal traditions within each sultanate. The study further reveals that from its early development, Islamic law in Indonesia operated within a framework of legal pluralism through continuous processes of negotiation and accommodation. This research contributes to a deeper historical understanding of the foundations of contemporary Islamic law in Indonesia.
