Abstract

Interfaith marriages remain a controversial subject among scholars in Indonesia. Despite the legal prohibition, the practice of interfaith marriage continues to persist. This article analyses various legal norms, decisions of the state courts and the Indonesian Constitutional Court related to interfaith marriages, revealing disparities between legal norms and practical implementation. Employing a normative approach through a literature review, this research finds that the state legislation strictly prohibits interfaith marriage. Paradoxically, couples navigate a legal workaround, exploiting a loophole in Population Administration Law No. 23 of 2006 to formalise their marriages. They submit applications to the district court, and the court’s decisions serve as the basis for recording their union. Some couples also employ an alternative strategy by marrying abroad and subsequently registering their unions upon returning to Indonesia. The article argues that the state’s legal expression in regulating the practice of interfaith marriages in Indonesia manifests ‘double face’. This study holds significant implications, particularly in enhancing policy comprehension, providing profound insights into the legal dynamics of interfaith marriages in Indonesia, and assessing its impact on citizens’ religious freedom. [Perkawinan beda agama di Indonesia masih menjadi isu kontroversial di kalangan para sarjana. Meskipun hukum negara telah melarangnya, praktik perkawinan beda agama masih terus berjalan hingga saat ini. Artikel ini menganalisis sejumlah hukum negara, putusan Pengadilan Negeri, dan putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi terkait perkawinan beda agama di Indonesia, mengungkap disparitas antara aturan hukum dan praktik. Menggunakan penelitian kepustakaan dengan pendekatan normatif, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa hukum negara telah mengatur secara ketat perkawinan beda agama dengan melarangnya. Namun, para pasangan beda agama memanfaatkan celah hukum dalam Undang-Undang No. 23 Tahun 2006 tentang Administrasi Kependudukan untuk mencatatkan perkawinan mereka. Mereka mengajukan permohonan ke pengadilan negeri dan ketetapannya digunakan sebagai dasar untuk mencatatkan perkawinan mereka. Sebagian dari mereka juga memanfaat “pintu belakang” dengan menikah di luar Indonesia dan kembali untuk mencatatkan administrasi perkawinan mereka. Dengan demikian, tulisan ini berpendapat bahwa ekspresi hukum negara dalam mengatur praktik perkawinan beda agama di Indonesia mencerminkan “dua wajah”. Kajian ini memiliki implikasi penting terutama dalam pemahaman kebijakan, memberikan wawasan mendalam tentang dinamika hukum perkawinan beda agama di Indonesia dan dampaknya terhadap kebebasan beragama bagi warga negara.]

Abstract

The Government has made the rule about age of marriage, namely the male must be at least 19 years old and the female must be at least 16 years old. Nevertheless, early marriages or under-age mariages are still common in Indonesia since people reffer to the prophet’s Sunnah fi’liyyah who was married to ‘Âisyah. Passion and courage from policy makers to revise the rule of minimum marriage age are required to revise that rule and reviewing the Sunnah is also imperative. It is important because the right of children is a part of human rights that must be guaranteed, protected, and filled by parents, family, society and government.

Abstract

Persoalan nikah beda agama menjadi masalah tersendiri dalam Islam, terutama terkait dengan ahl al-kitab. Para ulama berbeda pendapat dalam memahami makna ahl al-kitab, ada yang mengkategorikannya sebagai musyrik, dan ada pula yang membedakan keduanya secara tegas. Pencarian hakikat dalam memahami larangan pernikahan beda agama antara Muslimah dengan ghair al-Muslim  mengandung makna yang dalam dan berdampak luas terhadap psikologis, dan sosiologis. Tiap-tiap agama telah memiliki ketentuan tersendiri yang melarang perkawinan antar agama, sehingga jika seorang umat melanggar aturan agama, maka sesungguhnya ia telah melecehkan agamanya tersebut.

Abstract

Historically, the rule of Islamic family law existed and has been practiced since the early arrival of Islam in the archipelago. This is indicated by the phenomenon of massive application of fiqh madzhab asy-syafi’iyyah in the colonialization era.. After the day of Independence, the efforts to established Islamic family law through political institutions has begun, starting from the old order era until the reform era. The reform movement grew stronger mainly after CLD-KHI was echoed to make KHI ( Collection of Islamic Law) a new Marriage Act. Unfortunately, this movement received a negative response from a number of Islamic organizations; so the plan was canceled by the Government. Nevertheless, the struggles between liberal and conservative-fundamentalist Islamic thought still continue to this day.

Abstract

This article aims to explore the models of application of Islamic law in Indonesia by the State, ranging from traditional to modern, including aspects of reform. This research found the fact that at the beginning of the entry of Islam to the archipelago, the propagators of Islam had partially applied Islamic law, especially after the establishment of Islamic kingdoms in several areas. However, after the establishment of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, the model of applying Islamic law underwent renewal with formalistic, religious-ethics, and convergence models. Unfortunately, in the production stage, the implementation encountered many obstacles because it had to enter the realm of practical politics. Therefore, its development continues to move partially, such as the issuance of the Marriage Law, Zakat, Hajj, and so on, including through material review in the Constitutional Court.

Abstract

Research Objective: This study examines internal and external challenges in the Islamic world using Islamic constitutional and criminal law perspectives. It focuses on how principles, particularly those rooted in maqāṣid al-sharīah, can be applied to address legal fragmentation, underdevelopment, Islamophobia, and marginalization. Research Method: A qualitative normative approach was used, supported by thematic and comparative analysis. It draws on primary Islamic texts, constitutions, international legal sources, and academic literature. Case studies from Indonesia and the UAE illustrate different applications of Islamic law in governance and justice. Results: The findings indicate that challenges stem primarily from structural, rather than theological, issues. Internally, these include stagnant education systems, fragmented financial structures, and inconsistent Sharia application. Externally, they involve widespread Islamophobia and limited global representation. Findings and Implications: Islamic legal norms align with democratic values such as equity, participation, and justice. Ethical tenets like maṣlaḥaḥ and shūra support pluralistic governance. Institutional reform and contextual application of Islamic law can improve both domestic legitimacy and international engagement. Conclusion: Islamic legal systems hold the flexibility and strength to meet governance needs. Realizing their potential requires structural reform and aligning jurisprudence with contemporary legal frameworks. Contribution: This study contributes to Islamic legal scholarship by presenting a model that connects classical jurisprudence with modern constitutional practice. It adds to interdisciplinary work, promoting Islamic law in global legal discourse. Limitations and Suggestions: The non-empirical nature and limited jurisdictional scope of the study constrain broader generalization. Future research should incorporate empirical approaches and explore how digital innovation can support Islamic governance reforms.

Abstract

Hilah is one of the essential concepts in the corpus of Islamic law, referring to a legal strategy employed to circumvent specific prohibitions without explicitly violating the textual provisions (nash). In the contemporary context, particularly within Islamic commercial law and modern Islamic finance, the concept of hilah has been extensively applied in financial products such as murabahah, tawarruq, and ijarah muntahiyah bi al-tamlik. This article aims to critically examine the implementation of hilah in modern Islamic economic practices and assess its alignment with maqashid sharia. The research adopts a normative juridical approach, employing content analysis of classical fiqh literature, contemporary fatwas issued by authoritative bodies such as the National Sharia Council-Indonesian Ulema Council and the Accounting and Auditing Organizations for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI), along with case studies from Islamic financial institutions. The findings reveal that although hilah may serve as a flexible legal instrument that offers certain benefits (maslahah) under specific circumstances, its manipulative use, particularly when driven solely by economic gain, can undermine the integrity and spirit of Islamic law. In practice, excessive reliance on hilah risks disguising forms of usury and compromising core principles of Islamic finance, such as justice, transparency, and protection for vulnerable parties. Therefore, strengthening regulatory and ethical frameworks in the development of Islamic financial products is imperative. Emphasis must be placed on a maqashid-oriented approach in assessing the validity of contracts, considering both formal legal compliance and substantive ethical and economic impact. This article recommends formulating fatwa guidelines grounded in maqashid and enhancing sharia literacy among practitioners in Islamic finance.

Abstract

This article aims to determine the implications of changing Law Number 1 of 1974 to Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Marriage Dispensations in Indonesian Religious Courts. Specifically, this research seeks to analyze the increase in cases of post-amendment dispensation and explore the factors contributing to the gap between legal mandates and community practices regarding early marriage. This research uses a qualitative approach with a juridical perspective using comprehensive data analysis from Religious Courts in various regions in Indonesia. The data sources include decisions from the Directory of Decisions of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia, which focus on requests for dispensation. The analysis involves data collection, selection, sorting, reduction, and conclusion, aiming to effectively meet research objectives and address research gaps. This study integrates legal norms and societal dynamics to comprehensively understand the failure of the Amendment and its implications for the marriage dispensation in Indonesia. The analysis revealed a significant increase in requests for dispensation after the amendment. This reflects the challenges in dealing effectively with early marriage. Cultural pressures, institutional inconsistencies, and societal complexity contribute to the rise in cases of dispensation, underscoring the need for a different approach to legal reform and societal practice. Despite efforts to equalize the marriage age and prevent early marriage, the Amendment has not effectively addressed societal realities, resulting in a gap between legal mandates and actual practice.

Abstract

The purpose of community service by mentoring and coaching in socio-religious contexts for Muslims with visually impaired or blind disabilities in Manado city is to increase the spirit of religiosity and social lives. This community service activity was held at the Indonesian Muslim Disabilities Visibility Association office in Manado city from June to December 2021, employing the Asset Based Community Development method, prioritizing the utilization of existing assets and potential owned by them. As a result, there is an increase in knowledge in prayer practice. They can now implement fiqh thaharah and Janazah prayer practices well and perfectly. They also now can socialize by benefiting others, especially their readiness to be hosts or MCs, readers of the Qur'an, and preachers, beyond the skills they already have had. There were also jointly formulated by the program organizers and participants three follow-up solutions: continuous mental strengthening, a rapid environment learning, and constantly improving the special skills they have learned. Tujuan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dengan pendampingan dan pembinaan dalam konteks sosial keagamaan bagi tunanetra Muslim di kota Manado adalah untuk meningkatkan semangat keagamaan dan kehidupan sosial mereka. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dilaksanakan di kantor Ikatan Tunanetra Muslim Indonesia di kota Manado pada bulan Juni hingga Desember 2021 dengan metode Asset Based Community Development yang mengutamakan pemanfaatan aset yang ada dan potensi yang telah dimiliki. Alhasil, terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan dalam amalan shalat. Mereka kini dapat melaksanakan amalan fiqh thaharah dan shalat Janazah dengan baik dan sempurna. Mereka juga kini bisa bersosialisasi dengan memberi manfaat bagi orang lain, terutama kesiapan mereka menjadi pembawa acara atau MC, pembaca Al-Qur'an, dan khatib, di luar keterampilan yang sudah mereka miliki sebelumnya. Ada pula tiga solusi tindak lanjut yang dirumuskan bersama oleh penyelenggara program dan peserta: penguatan mental terus-menerus, pembelajaran lingkungan yang cepat, dan terus-menerus meningkatkan keterampilan khusus yang telah mereka pelajari.
