Abstract

Childfree is a life choice not to have children after or before marriage, whether biological children, stepchildren, or adopted children. This article discusses how childfree is influenced by the digital era and what the perspective of Islamic law is according to the views of ulama and gender activists in Malang, East Java. This empirical legal study used legal sociology and maqāṣid al-sharī’ah approaches. Data were collected by means of in-depth interviews and a literature review. Findings showed that child-free development in Indonesia has been influenced by the digital era through online media, which quickly spread and made it easier for people from various countries to interact and share information. One of the objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-sharī'ah) is to maintain offspring (hifz al-nasl) through marriage. According to the ulama, being childfree is contrary to Islamic law and the nature of humanity. According to the Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah, and gender activists, the laws on childfree can be summed up in two ways: haram and mubah. Childfree is haram (unlawful) because it is contrary to maqāṣid al-sharī’ah, i.e., preserving offspring, as it is also the goal of marriage. Childfree is mubah (allowed) if there are reasons that are condoned by the sharia, e.g., health problems, physical limitations, and psychological conditions that prevent the wife from having children. Sociologically, the government and all related parties need to provide education to the public so that the meaning of childfree can be understood properly and correctly.

Abstract

This article discusses the concept of bid'ah in the perspective of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah (Aswaja), especially according to Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). This study aims to examine how NU understands bid'ah and how its moderate attitude in responding to various religious traditions that are considered bid'ah. The research method used is a literature review with a qualitative approach. The results of the study show that NU applies the principle of moderation through the concept of maslahah in responding to new traditions that develop in society. Religious traditions such as tawassul, tabarruk, and the commemoration of Maulid are included in the category of bid'ah hasanah, which is accepted because it brings goodness both in social and spiritual aspects. NU's understanding of bid'ah provides a balance between maintaining good old traditions and accepting new innovations that are beneficial to the people.

Abstract

Background: This community engagement program addresses the challenge of strengthening family resilience (sakinah families) by focusing on women's empowerment and child protection within the community. The program utilizes an asset-based perspective to build upon existing community strengths rather than focusing solely on deficiencies. Purpose of the Study: The program aims to revitalize the function of sakinah families through the specific objectives of enhancing women's leadership, providing Islamic parenting education, preventing early marriage, and fostering economic empowerment. Methods: The program was implemented using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) framework, structured into five key stages: discovery, dream, design, delivery, and destiny. Activities included educational workshops, forum establishment, and productive economic training. Results: Quantitative results showed a significant increase in participants' legal and religious literacy, with understanding of the legal minimum marriage age rising from 36% to 89%. The program successfully established a sustainable women's forum (20 leaders) that coordinates monthly parenting and adolescent counseling sessions. Furthermore, the formation of a women's business group led to an average 15% increase in household income, demonstrating enhanced economic agency. The ABCD approach proved effective in building sustainable community structures for family development.

Abstract

This study aims to trace the genealogy of Shafi'i fiqh through the tradition of writing matan, sharah, and hasyiah as a form of transmission and development of fiqh knowledge. The method used is qualitative with a historical-hermeneutic approach, through the study of classical literature and philological studies of the main works in the Shafi'i school. The results of the study show that the matan tradition plays a role as the core of the teachings, sharah as a conceptual explanation, and hasyiah as a critical note or commentary on the explanation. These three forms form a complex and dynamic scientific network, reflecting the dialectical process of thought and the continuity of scientific authority in the Shafi'i school. This research emphasizes that the tradition of fiqh literacy is an important methodological legacy in understanding the structure, flexibility, and continuity of the Shafi'i school of thought until the contemporary era.

Abstract

This study examines the political backdrop of the rise of Sharia-compliant economic rules during the final decade of Indonesia’s New Order regime. Through a critical lens of political economy, this study aims at analyzing the political-historical landscape that facilitated the birth of the nation’s first Islamic banking. Using a qualitative approach, this study employs a historical perspective to investigate the convergence of state power and legislative policy during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The research results indicate that the enactment of the Law No 7 of 1992 on Banking, which becomes the foundation of Islamic finance, served primarily as a strategic tool of state diplomacy aimed at perpetuating the New Order’s hegemony. Drawing on Tarek Masoud’s political economy framework, this study argues that Suharto pivoted toward a Sharia-compliant economic system to secure a new foundation of legitimacy among the burgeoning educated Muslim middle class. This maneuver was a calculated response to mitigate declining support from secular military factions and to co-opt the moral reputational advantage of Islamic institutions
