Abstract

This article examines the legal contestation surrounding me’en batee, the Acehnese term for domino, within Aceh’s Sharia-based local legal order. While me’en batee is often practiced as social entertain­ment, it is also associated with gambling, wasted time, public disorder, and neglect of religious obligations. The issue has become more com­plex as domino is increasingly framed as an organized sport when played without betting. Using normative juridical research with socio-legal sensitivity, this article analyzes statutory materials, Aceh’s qanun, Islamic legal concepts, academic literature, and selected public dis­courses. It argues that the problem of me’en batee is not a complete legal vacuum, since gambling and maysir are already regulated under national law and Qanun Aceh No. 6 of 2014. The main issue is nor­mative ambiguity: how to distinguish entertainment, sport, and pro­hibited gambling. The article proposes a proportional qanun-based regulatory model that is preventive and regulatory rather than merely punitive, aiming to protect Sharia-based public order while avoiding overcriminalization.
