Abstract

Studies on the Indonesian Ulema Council’s fatwas have continued to expand; however, they rarely conceptualize fatwas as instruments of hybrid regulation operating within the political economy of the modern nation-state and functioning as soft law with the capacity to shape market dynamics. In particular, Fatwa No. 14/Ijtima’ Ulama/VIII/2024 on the Priority Use of Domestic Products—together with its maqāṣid al-sharīʿah (the objectives of Islamic law) foundations and its political–economic implications within the framework of Indonesian economic nationalism—has received limited scholarly attention. This study addresses this gap by analyzing the fatwa as a model of ijtihād in Islamic economic governance that integrates maqāṣid al-sharīʿah and the political economy of religion within a unified analytical framework. Employing a qualitative socio-legal methodology, this research conducts close reading and thematic coding of the official fatwa text, relevant regulations promoting domestic products, and pertinent academic literature. The study demonstrates that the fatwa explicitly links the prioritization of domestic products to ḥifẓ al-māl (the protection of wealth), maṣlaḥah ʿāmmah (public welfare), and economic sovereignty, thereby reconstructing consumption at the normative level from a neutral individual preference into a collective moral obligation. Within this framework, the fatwa functions as non-state soft law that symbolically directs market preferences toward local producers, distributes symbolic capital to aligned economic actors, and supports the state’s economic nationalism agenda, while simultaneously leaving unresolved risks related to symbolism, structural inequality, and ethical blind spots. This study offers a conceptual lens for understanding fatwas as instruments of Islamic economic governance that mediate between sharia norms, state policy, and market dynamics in contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract

Scholars are divided into two groups in assessing the relationship between Islam and the West. Some see it as a clash, while others propose a tolerance thesis. As a result, there is an ongoing debate. However, this paper will negate both. Therefore, this paperwill contextualize this relationship from a historical standpoint and assess its trajectory. This paper is a literature study that takes the sources from library data. By taking scientific cooperation and conflict, crusades and economic cooperation, imperialismagainst the Islamic world, and tolerance of captive colonialists as examples, this paper shows that the relationship between Islam and the West is not unidirectional but multidirectional. Competition, conflict, and cooperation served both interests simultaneously. The interests of religion, knowledge, politics, economy, and culture before, during, and after colonization made the relationship both competitive, conflicting, and cooperative. Thus, the implication of this article is to refute Huntington’s theory and his critics by some scholars.
