Abstract

Eclecticism in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) is evident through the incorporation of various opinions from different schools of Islamic jurisprudence, including the Shafi‘i school as the dominant madhhab in Indonesia, as well as the Hanafi, Maliki, and Hanbali schools, alongside several modern approaches. This method reflects an effort to reconstruct Islamic law so that it aligns with social needs and the national legal system. This study employs a library research method. The primary sources consist of the official text of the KHI, classical fiqh works from the four major schools (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi‘i, and Hanbali), and contemporary literature on Islamic family law in Indonesia. The analytical techniques used include document study, article content analysis, and tracing the compatibility of madhhab opinions with the norms adopted in the KHI, supplemented by a sociological approach to assess the implications of its implementation in practice. The findings indicate that the application of eclecticism in Book I of the KHI is grounded in (a) social plurality; (b) the sustainability of the national legal system; (c) the values of justice; and (d) legal adaptability. The procedural steps of madhhab-based eclecticism in the KHI involve: (a) identifying issues of Islamic law to be compiled, (b) examining textual evidences and madhhab opinions, (c) selecting the most beneficial view (maslahah), (d) harmonizing it with the national legal system, and (e) conducting academic validation and social feasibility testing.

Abstract

Since the enactment of Law Number 16 of 2019, which amended Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage, the Religious Court of Malang Regency has experienced a significant surge in marriage dispensation applications compared to the period when the previous Marriage Law was still in effect. This research aims to construct the concept of maqāṣid asy-syarī’ah fī ḥifẓ al-awlād by analyzing judicial reasoning of judges in determining marriage dispensations at Malang Regency Religious Court. It specifically explores how judges’ interpretations of the best interests of the child can be formulated into a new derivative of maqāṣid theory. This research is a normative-empirical juridical research with a case approach. The data were collected through interviews with three male judges and two female judges from the Religious Court of Malang Regency. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, targeting judges with the most extensive experience in handling marriage dispensation cases. As data saturation had been reached, the number of informants was deemed qualitatively representative. Data were also obtained from official documentation of legally binding marriage dispensation rulings (inkracht van gewijsde). All data were analyzed using a descriptive-analytical approach, and conclusions were drawn through the application of an interactive cyclical method. The principle of the best interests of the child in determining marriage dispensations aims at providing protection for the child, both physically and psychologically. It includes the age of the prospective bride and groom, economic adequacy, reliable guidance and assistance from the family, and adequate religious safety and protection of children in the womb.
