Abstract

This article aims to analyze the shift in the orientation of Nahdlatul Ulama’s (NU) fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) tradition in managing zakat in Indonesia. The shift occurs in the zakat fund management institution through the Lembaga Amil Zakat Nahdlatul Ulama (LAZISNU) and their fiqh understanding of zakat recipients (mustaḥiq). The article also explores the forms of involvement of the NU’s structural and cultural members, known as Nahdliyin, in their efforts to improve social welfare. As an Islamic philanthropy institution, LAZISNU strategically synergizes with social welfare issues for its community. Despite being the most prominent Islamic community organization in Indonesia and globally, most Nahdliyin fall into the lower to middle-income category. The article employs a qualitative research approach with a descriptive-argumentative methodology, utilizing Harry J. Benda’s theory of change and sustainability as an analytical tool. The findings reveal a shift in the Nahdliyin zakat management fiqh tradition in three aspects: zakat fund collection through LAZISNU, the broadening of the meaning of fī sabīlillāh (on the path of God), and the differentiation between zakat collectors (‘āmil) and zakat committees. This shift is attributed to changes in the method of NU legal opinion (fatwā) determination from the qawlī to the manhaji. To enhance the social welfare of Nahdliyin, NU consistently participates actively through its Islamic philanthropic actions by modernizing zakat management adapted from technological advancements.

Abstract

The Indonesian Ulema Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia, MUI) was stigmatised as an institution accommodating conservative Islamic groups’ interests post-New Order. However, the religious fatwas produced by the MUI during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 had prioritised independence so that it returned to its original role, namely as a translator of government policies. For this reason, this article aims to examine the MUI fatwas and its relationship to state policies in tackling the spread of Covid-19. It is a qualitative research study with a historical approach, examining the content of seven fatwas issued by the Fatwa Commission (Komisi Fatwa) between March and July 2020 as the primary data sources. This study found that MUI’s legal arguments and methods are more inclusive, flexible, and progressive towards socio-religious problems. These fatwas have become a reference for the government in taking policies to suppress the spread of Covid-19. It is reinforced by the fact that several fatwas issued by MUI were used as guidelines by the government in formulating policies to curb the spread of Covid-19. Therefore, the authors argue that the MUI’s fatwa politics not only serve the interests of the Muslim community but also align with the state’s interests in tackling the spread of Covid-19. Thus, the debate regarding the stigmatisation of the role of MUI can be dismissed through these findings, providing new insights into the dynamic interplay between religious and legal frameworks.

Abstract

This article is aimed to explain the implementation of the premarital course, the constraints, and the effectiveness of the Regulation of Director General Bimas Islam No. DJ. II/542 Years 2013 concerning the Guidelines on the Implementation of the Premarital Course in the KUA Southeast Pontianak Sub-District. That is because KUA Southeast Pontianak Sub-District did not implement this provision optimally. The type of research the author uses is empirical legal research with a sociological-juridical approach. There are three research results in this paper. First, the premarital course in the KUA Southeast Pontianak Sub-District is held once a week. The resource person delivered four materials with the lecture and answer method, namely reproductive health, reproductive health, marital law, fostering sakīnah families, and the resilience of families. These materials are submitted by the Officers of the Health Service, Head, and the Functional Headman (Penghulu) KUA Southeast Pontianak Sub-District. After attending a premarital course, the bride candidate received a certificate from BP4. Secondly, there are two obstacles experienced by the KUA Southeast Pontianak Sub-District that have not fully implemented the Regulation of Director General Bimas Islam No. DJ. II/542 Years 2013, namely the absence of fees for the Speaker’s honorarium and yet to be present and the management of the leadership related to the implementation. Third, the guidelines for administering prenuptial courses have not been effectively implemented at KUA Southeast Pontianak Sub-District, because there are no derivative rules from these regulations (substance), the unreadiness of officials and employees in implementing them (structure), and the public’s assumption that prenuptial courses are only a formality (legal culture).
