Abstract

This study comprehensively examines the role of the Majelis Permusyawaratan Ulama (MPU) in preventing violations of Islamic Sharia, with a focused case study in Aceh. The research is guided by institutional governance theory and conflict mediation concepts .The study traces the historical development of Islam in Aceh, the rationale behind establishing MPU, and the multifaceted challenges faced by the government and the ulama in enforcing Sharia law. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with key MPU members (Ustadz M. Khalis and Ustadz M. Husen), document analysis, and extensive field observations across various strategic areas in Aceh. Findings indicate that MPU, as an authoritative and consultative council of ulama, plays a critical role in interpreting Islamic law, issuing fatwas on issues such as khalwat and public morality, advising governmental bodies, and facilitating public deliberation forums to manage interpretative conflicts. Moreover, MPU functions as a mediator between state and society in Sharia-related issues, ensuring that policies are reflective of both traditional values and contemporary socio-political needs. Strategic recommendations include enhancing institutional capacity, implementing robust oversight mechanisms, and formulating adaptive, inclusive policies that resonate with present-day cultural and technological advancements.
