Abstract

This article discusses the issue of women in the family with respects to inheritance. In this context, what is discussed are contemporary thoughts, with the hopes of achieving new ideas. The formulation of 2:1 ratio for men  and women are seen by classical ulama(s) as something final. In the words of Al-Jabiri, this view is counterintuitive to textual understanding. In his perspective, this formula could still change, due to the trans-historic nature of  the application of the Quran. This view is in contrast to the burhani school of thought. With many social changes in society, it could very well be that women could receive more inheritance than men.

Abstract

The religious authority held by Islamic institutions is often confronted with issues of gender discrimination. In the modern era, Islamic organizations are faced with gender problems related to husband-wife relations in urban muslim communities. The proliferation of gender-biased narratives on social media and the shift in religious authority has challenged the discourse on gender equality in urban muslim communities. Meanwhile, in its development, Islamic organizations have produced progressive fatwas that show the movement for gender justice. This research uses Equilibrium Theory to analyze the periodic decisions of the Majelis Tarjih and Tajdid Muhammadiyah regarding the relationship between husband and wife. The results of the decision will be categorized through the typology of Islamic thought according to Ziba Mr-Hossen. This research is literature research that uses primary data in the form of decisions of the Majelis Tarjih and Tajdid Muhammadiyah compiled in Adāb al-Mar'ah fi al-Islām in 1982 and Keluarga Sakinah in 2014. The data was collected using the documentation method and analyzed using the content analysis technique. The results showed that the discourse of gender equality in Muhammadiyah influenced the balance of husband and wife roles in the Sakinah Family decision. The influence of gender equality does not necessarily make the results of the Sakinah Family decision fall into the category of modernism that is very open to Western thought. However, the decision only reaches the typology of neotraditionalism as a reflection of the moderatism of thought. The reason is that the fatwa decision still adopts the thoughts of classical scholars while still carrying the theme of renewal (tajdīd). Through its ijtihād, Muhammadiyah can create an inclusive dialogue space, accommodate various perspectives, and reflect the spirit of justice in the context of the diversity of urban muslim communities. This research is expected to be a symbol of dialogue between the discourse of gender equality and traditional religious authorities so that the dialectic can produce fatwas that are by the times.

Abstract

The delay in inheritance distribution within the indigenous Muslim community of Kampar, Riau, is a longstanding tradition often justified as an effort to maintain family harmony. This phenomenon indicates that although Islamic inheritance law has been normatively established, its application is often selective or postponed in actual social practice. This study investigates the reasons behind such delays, the justifications provided by the community, and their implications for the understanding and implementation of Islamic law. This article use a qualitative approach, which data were collected through in-depth interviews toward religious and traditional leaders. The findings show that delay is not due to ignorance of Islamic legal obligations. Rather, it is a conscious decision rooted in cultural norms, socio-economic considerations, and emotional factors, such as respect for parents and the desire to avoid family conflict. This practice is supported by a communal consensus that prioritizes unity over immediate legal compliance. However, the study argues that although intended to preserve harmony, such postponements risk marginalizing rightful heirs and contradict the justice-oriented objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-sharī’ah). The study concludes that contextual negotiation between customary traditions and Islamic law is necessary but must occur within a framework that ensures justice and legal clarity. Penundaan pembagian warisan dalam komunitas Muslim adat di Kampar, Riau, adalah tradisi yang telah berlangsung lama dan seringkali dibenarkan sebagai upaya untuk menjaga keharmonisan keluarga. Fenomena ini menunjukkan bahwa, meskipun hukum waris Islam telah ditetapkan secara normatif, ia seringkali diterapkan secara selektif atau tertunda dalam praktik sosial. Studi ini menyelidiki alasan penundaan tersebut, alasan yang diberikan oleh komunitas, dan efeknya terhadap pemahaman dan penerapan hukum Islam. Artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, yang datanya dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap tokoh agama, dan tokoh adat. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa penundaan tidak disebabkan oleh ketidaktahuan tentang kewajiban hukum Islam. Sebaliknya, itu adalah pilihan yang dibuat secara sadar berdasarkan norma budaya, pertimbangan sosial ekonomi, dan faktor emosional, seperti penghormatan terhadap orang tua dan upaya untuk menghindari konflik keluarga. Konsensus masyarakat yang mengutamakan persatuan daripada pemenuhan hukum segera mendukung praktik ini. Namun, penelitian ini berpendapat bahwa, meskipun dimaksudkan untuk menjaga keharmonisan, penundaan tersebut berpotensi meminggirkan ahli waris yang berhak, yang bertentangan dengan tujuan keadilan hukum Islam (maqāṣid al-sharī’ah). Menurut penelitian ini, perundingan kontekstual antara adat dan hukum Islam perlu dilakukan, tetapi harus dilakukan dalam kerangka yang menjamin keadilan dan kejelasan hukum.

Abstract

Genealogy relationship to every aspect of life is a link for  a  generation  to  the  next  one.  The  continuity  of  generation needs the preparation and supply, materially or immaterially, in order to be able to exist and survive. Al-Qur‘an even suggested Moslem not to leave the weak generation. Therefore, genealogy relationship  was  believed  as  a  main  cause  of  inheritance transition from the dead to the heir. The problem appears when the Moslem has to bequeath to non Moslem. Al-Qur‘an does not explain  it,  even  the  tradition  forbade  the  interreligious inheritance,  whereas  the  social  context  demands  to  treat  the other way. The dialectic between law and social demand became a big problem to the Islamic law of inheritance.  The problem  of interreligious  inheritance  appeared  when  the  relationship between  Moslem  and  non  Moslem  was  re-discussed  by  some social groups. Moreover, it became attention of Moslem thinkers since its formation, such as Mua? bin Jabal. His decision to share the  inheritance  from  Moslem  to  non  Moslem  is  an  innovation that is needed to appreciate. He braves  to find another way  by ignoring  the  textual  law  towards  the  contextual  law  without leaving the essence of shariah. Besides it is for human benefit, it is also for implementing uptodate Islamic law.

Abstract

Social media has emerged as a new platform for religious figures to disseminate fatwas (Islamic legal opinions). These platforms undoubtedly facilitate public access to pragmatic answers regarding Islamic legal issues. However, the credibility of fatwas issued on social media is frequently contested, particularly concerning gender bias. This study examines religious figures’ fatwas on YouTube about spousal relations through the lens of feminist theory. Employing a qualitative empirical approach, the research utilizes netnography as its data collection method. The findings reveal that most religious figures’ fatwas on position the wife in a state of economic dependence on her husband, while relegating her to domestic roles with obligations centered on fulfilling spousal domestic needs, particularly sexual demands. Such narratives starkly contradict principles of gender equality and perpetuate bias by potentially disregarding wives’ sexual agency. These fatwas stem from conservative interpretations of Q.S 4:34 by religious figures. [Media sosial muncul sebagai platform baru bagi tokoh agama untuk menyebarkan fatwa (pendapat hukum Islam). Platform ini memudahkan akses publik terhadap jawaban-jawaban praktis terkait persoalan hukum Islam. Namun, kredibilitas fatwa yang dikeluarkan di media sosial sering kali diperdebatkan, terutama terkait dengan bias gender. Penelitian ini mengkaji fatwa para tokoh agama di YouTube mengenai relasi suami-istri melalui perspektif teori feminis. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, dalam beberapa hal penelitian ini menerapkan bagian dari kerja netnography sebagai teknik pengumpulan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar fatwa yang disampaikan oleh para tokoh agama menempatkan istri dalam posisi ketergantungan ekonomi terhadap suaminya, sekaligus membatasi perannya pada ranah domestik dengan kewajiban yang berfokus pada pemenuhan kebutuhan rumah tangga suami, khususnya kebutuhan seksual. Narasi semacam ini secara jelas bertentangan dengan prinsip kesetaraan gender dan memperkuat bias dengan berpotensi mengabaikan agensi seksual istri. Fatwa-fatwa tersebut berakar pada tafsir konservatif terhadap Q.S. 4:34 oleh para tokoh agama.]

Abstract

In countries with a Muslim-majority population, legal systems often distinguish between Muslims and non-Muslims, particularly in matters of marriage and divorce. This differentiation creates a structural gap for non-Muslims seeking justice in divorce proceedings, as their rights are frequently not accommodated on an equal basis. The primary objective of this article is to examine the application of Haqq al-Insani al-Asasi within non-Muslim divorce cases in Indonesia, focusing on the implementation of the core Islamic values of justice (al-'adl), equality (al-musawah), and human dignity (karamah insaniyyah). This research employs a qualitative prescriptive design with a normative-juridical approach, drawing upon both literature review and judicial decisions as primary data sources. The study analyses 18 District Court rulings from various regions, including Semarang, Salatiga, Cirebon, Kediri, Magelang, Singkawang, Bekasi, and Manado, to assess how Indonesia’s pluralistic legal system accommodates minority rights within its judicial structure. The framework of Islamic Legal Thought concerning justice, equality, and human dignity serves as the methodological tool for analysing the findings, with data primarily derived from official court documents. The results reveal that the application of Haqq al-Insani al-Asasi in non-Muslim divorce cases remains procedural and formalistic, falling short of achieving substantive justice. Court decisions tend to emphasise factual and administrative aspects while neglecting the moral and theological dimensions inherent in the institution of marriage. This leads to a moral legal dissonance, whereby non-Muslim litigants obtain legal certainty but remain spiritually bound according to their faith traditions. The study identifies three primary challenges: the gap between positive law and religious morality, the structural inequality of Indonesia’s dual-court system, and the limited ethical and spiritual sensitivity in judicial reasoning. These findings underscore the need for a more inclusive, human-centred, and substantively just legal reform that bridges state law and moral theology within Indonesia’s pluralistic judicial context.
