Abstract

This study aims to investigate the deep historical connections between Minangkabau and Negeri Sembilan, two regions with rich cultural heritage in the archipelago. We explore the traces of this heritage to uncover the historical significance of Minangkabau in the formation and development of Negeri Sembilan's culture. The research method involved in-depth historical analyses as well as a careful literature review, which helped us understand the influence that Minangkabau culture has had on the social structure, customary system, values and traditions of the people of Negeri Sembilan. Our results show that this historical footprint reflects not only cultural adoption, but also the complex interaction between Minangkabau and Negeri Sembilan, which has shaped a rich and unique cultural identity in the history of the archipelago. Research findings reveal the deep-rooted nature of this cultural relationship, starting from the early arrival of Minangkabau people in Negeri Sembilan during the 15th and 16th centuries, to diplomatic relations with Raja Mahmud of Pagaruyung in 1773. The historical significance of Minangkabau in Negeri Sembilan culture has important relevance in understanding the cultural dynamics of the region.

Abstract

The policy proposal linking social assistance to vasectomy has sparked considerable debate due to its complex relationship with reproductive rights, ethical issues, and religious beliefs. This study addresses the topic through the framework of Maqasid al-Shari‘ah, focusing on two primary objectives: ḥifẓ al-nasl (protection of lineage) and hifz al-mal (protection of wealth), while also considering gender equality. Using a qualitative library research approach, the study explores a variety of sources related to Maqasid al-Shari‘ah, gender equality, population control, and the allocation of social welfare. The findings suggest that vasectomy is traditionally viewed as conflicting with ḥifẓ al-nasl because it directly impacts reproductive capacity. Reproductive decisions traditionally emphasize the preservation of lineage, and any action that impairs fertility is often seen as contrary to this objective. However, under the principle of necessity (ḍarūrah), there is room for exceptions, where actions like vasectomy may be justified if they lead to greater public welfare (maṣlaḥah), especially in cases of overpopulation or when the financial resources required for raising children exceed the capacity of families or the state. From a Maqasid perspective, vasectomy could contribute positively by improving the quality of future generations through more sustainable family planning. Additionally, involving men in contraceptive responsibility aligns with gender equality, fostering a more equitable distribution of reproductive duties between men and women. This approach promotes justice by reducing the disproportionate burden placed on women and encouraging shared responsibility in population control efforts, which are critical for maintaining the long-term effectiveness of social welfare programs.
