Abstract

The practice of unregistered marriages in the tradition of kiai marriages in Dusun Pondok Asem, Kertasemaya Subdistrict, Indramayu Regency, is still rampant even though marriage regulations have been strictly regulated through Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). This phenomenon shows the gap between state law and local traditions that continue to be practiced by the local community. This study aims to describe the legal status of Kiai marriage according to customary law and state law, compare the recognition of both, and show the implications of legal pluralism in marriage practices in Indonesia. This research uses a juridical-empirical approach with a theoretical framework for legal pluralism. Primary data was obtained through interviews with lebe, traditional leaders, village officials, and kiai marriage practitioners, while secondary data was obtained from legislation, KHI, and related academic literature. The analysis was conducted qualitatively using a comparative model between customary and state law. The results of the study show the existence of dualism in recognition. Customary law recognizes Kiai marriages as valid because they fulfill the requirements of Islamic marriage and obtain social legitimacy, so that children born from these marriages receive full recognition. Conversely, state law does not recognize marriages not officially registered at the Office of Religious Affairs, so these marriages do not have strong legal force. The novelty of this research lies in its attempt to reveal the dialectic between social legitimacy as living law and formal legal certainty as the main principle of state law. This dialectic shows the reality of legal pluralism in Indonesia, emphasizing the need for harmonization so that customary law and state law can work more synergistically.  Praktik nikah siri dalam tradisi kawin kiai di Dusun Pondok Asem, Kecamatan Kertasemaya, Kabupaten Indramayu masih marak dilakukan meskipun regulasi perkawinan telah diatur secara tegas melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan dan Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI). Fenomena ini menunjukkan adanya jarak antara ketentuan hukum negara dan tradisi lokal yang tetap dijalankan masyarakat setempat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan status hukum kawin kiai menurut hukum adat dan hukum negara, membandingkan pengakuan keduanya, serta menunjukkan implikasi pluralisme hukum dalam praktik perkawinan di Indonesia. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan yuridis-empiris dengan kerangka teori pluralisme hukum. Data primer diperoleh melalui wawancara dengan lebe, tokoh adat, aparat desa, dan pelaku kawin kiai, sedangkan data sekunder berasal dari peraturan perundang-undangan, KHI, serta literatur akademik terkait. Analisis dilakukan secara kualitatif dengan model komparasi antara hukum adat dan hukum negara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya dualisme pengakuan. Hukum adat mengakui kawin kiai sebagai sah karena memenuhi rukun nikah Islam dan memperoleh legitimasi sosial, sehingga anak hasil perkawinan mendapatkan pengakuan penuh. Sebaliknya, hukum negara tidak mengakui perkawinan yang tidak tercatat resmi di Kantor Urusan Agama, sehingga perkawinan tersebut tidak memiliki kekuatan hukum yang kuat. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada upaya menyingkap dialektika antara legitimasi sosial sebagai living law dan kepastian hukum formal yang menjadi prinsip utama hukum negara. Dialektika ini memperlihatkan realitas pluralisme hukum di Indonesia, sekaligus menegaskan perlunya harmonisasi agar hukum adat dan hukum negara dapat berjalan lebih sinergis.

Abstract

Fatwas issued by the ulama play a strategic role in shaping the trajectory of Muslim thought in the digital era, particularly as many Muslims lack direct access to, or the capacity to independently interpret, the primary sources of Islamic law such as the Qur’an and Hadith. This study examines the position of fatwas as a determinant of religious authority and explores their implications for the development of Islamic law in the digital age. Employing a qualitative research design, this study analyzes fatwas issued by the Indonesian Ulama Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia/MUI) concerning socio-religious issues. Data were collected through library research and examined using a normative-analytical approach, emphasizing contextual interpretation and doctrinal analysis. The findings demonstrate that MUI fatwas occupy a position of significant religious authority within the construction of Islamic law and possess substantial sociological and moral binding force. Muslim communities adhere to these fatwas because they are perceived as authoritative interpretations grounded in Islamic legal principles. Furthermore, fatwas contribute to the dynamic development of Islamic law and influence national legal frameworks. In the digital era, religious authority has become increasingly strategic, particularly following the issuance of MUI Fatwa No. 24 of 2017, which provides ethical guidelines for social media engagement, promotes social harmony, and seeks to prevent societal fragmentation in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the thoughts of Imam al-Syatibi on maqashid al-shariah and its actualizations in modern life. The method used is qualitative, while the data analysis technique used is content analysis to analyze the substance of maqashid al-shariah. It is then correlated with the context of current human life. The results of the study show that the theory of maqashid al-shariah initiated by Imam al-Syatibi has presented shariah in its elastic face. Maqashid al-shariah has transformed Islamic theory into universal human values, such as benefit, justice, and equality in Muslims' lives in the world. This can be seen at least in two ways: first, maqashid al-shariah as a developing Islamic law method. The development of the theory of maqashid al-shariah has inspired the philosophy of Islamic laws. It becomes the basis of thinking and analysis, which is fundamental to Islamic legal thinking in this globalization era and dynamic social changes. Second, maqashid al-shariah in building shariah economics; maqashid al-shariah's theory occupies a very central and vital position in formulating a shariah economic development methodology. In the context of shariah economics, the purpose of maqashid al-shariah is to safeguard human benefits. A Muslim is encouraged to produce and consume goods/services, of course, within valuable considerations.

Abstract

Terorisme kembali lagi datang mengancam bangsa Indonesia setelah terjadinya ledakan bom di Hotel JW Marriott, Ritz Carlton dan bom Bali beberapa tahun lalu. Dari peristiwa peledakan ini, dapat dianalisis bahwa serangan sengaja dilakukan di tempat-tempat umum dengan target yang jelas. Inilah sesungguhnya tipikal aksi terorisme yang terjadi di berbagai belahan dunia. Serangan 11 September terhadap WTC dan gedung Pentagon di Amerika Serikat, peledakan bom Bali, ledakan bom JW Marriott 1, peledakan bom di Hotel Marriott 2 dan Ritz Carlton memberikan bukti yang jelas bahwa terorisme membidik sasaran di tempat keramaian. Hal ini menandakan betapa aksi kekerasan yang terjadi sudah mulai mengarah pada aksi yang menimbulkan dampak massif dengan dilakukan oleh para pelaku yang terorganisir. Fenomena inilah yang mendorong penulis untuk membahas teroris, dalam perspektif normatif dan mengkomparasikan dengan konsep jihad. Selama ini para orientalis menganggap bahwa banyaknya terorisme yang terjadi karena seorang Muslim mempunyai konsep jihad. Jihad yang sebenarnya dalam konteks sekarang tidak mesti dilakukan dalam bentuk perang. Islam menolak semua pembenaran untuk perang duniawi, seperti kolonialisme, rasisme, ketamakan, dan ekspansi ekonomi. Di bawah pemerintahan Islam semua orang akan bekerja bersama-sama sebagai satu keluarga besar, menjadikan semua makhluk sebagai satu kesatuan tanpa tujuan- tujuan yang saling bertentangan. Kata Kunci: Jihad, Terorisme, Rekonstruksi, Impelementasi
