Abstract

This article discusses Islamic civilians' struggles in gaining recognition of ‘positivization’ of Zakat Law No. 38/1999 and analyzes dynamics of relations between religion and the state in Indonesia. A period of democratic transition from Suharto to B.J. Habibie (Reform era 1998) marked an entry point for a new phase of state juridical recognition to Islamic law. In this paper, the dynamics of political recognition of zakat law are elucidated from a historical-critical analysis. The findings are twofold. Firstly, the zakat law was enacted during B.J. Habibie’s administration, where waves of democratization began. Secondly, the Islamic civilians played an important role in institutionalizing zakat and providing political support for the Ministry of Religion's efforts in proposing Zakat Management Bill (RUUPZ) to the House of Representatives. The state acknowledged multicultural society by adopting their living religious law whose application does not threaten the nation's unity.

Abstract

This article discusses the anomaly of democratic political configuration relation that produces conservative zakat law product in Law Number 23 Year 2011 on Zakat Management. Zakat law has experienced the positivation of Islamic law through what is called the legislative process in the House of Representatives. Through its stipulation, it actually led to rejection from Muslim civil society groups. This rejection is an indication that the law is not responsive to civil society. This research is normative juridical with a political approach to law that places legislation as a political product. Edward W. Soja’s spatial justice theory is used to analyze this issue. The findings of this research are, first, the anomaly of political configuration relations towards zakat law products occurs because of the still entrenched character of executive dominance in making zakat law in the DPR. Second, to produce a responsive law, it must provide space for spatial justice through the participation of Islamic civil society in making zakat law.
