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.

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.
