Abstract

Pinisi vessel are cherished local heritage found in South Sulawesi up to the present day. Therefore, this research provided a comprehensive portrayal of songkabala ritual and conducted an in-depth analysis in Bulukumba, Indonesia. In the broader sociological framework, the intricate interplay between the local Bulukumba culture and Islamic law was analyzed. To examine songkabala rituals, theories such as al-'urf, symbolic interactionism, and legal sociology were established. This method presented an understanding of qualitative research, using data sources gathered through systematic observation, insightful interviews, and meticulous documentation. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of selection, formatting, and conclusion. The results showed that songkabala was a ritual preserved for making pinisi vessels in Bulukumba tradition to ward off disasters faced when sailing. The ritual was performed with four stages, including annakbang, kalabiseang annattara, appasili, and ammossi. Based on al-'urf theory, songkabala activities could be accepted as a good tradition for Indonesian Muslim communities because they preserve good local traditions, and not violating fundamental principles in the doctrine of Islamic teachings. The research suggested the need to analyze local traditions with a broad religious perspective, preventing negative justifications and perversion.

Abstract

This study examines the contrasting legal perspectives of Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) on the practice of bestowing the rewards of worship (īṣāl al-thawāb) to the deceased—an enduring and widespread tradition among many Indonesian Muslims. The purpose of this research is to explore the theological and methodological foundations underlying each organization's stance and to identify the broader implications of these differing views for Islamic legal discourse in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative, comparative approach, the study utilizes literature-based analysis and in-depth interviews to investigate fatwas issued by Muhammadiyah’s Tarjih Council and NU’s Bahtsul Masail. The findings reveal a sharp divergence: Muhammadiyah rejects the practice, considering it unsupported by scriptural evidence and classifying it as bid‘ah (religious innovation), while NU legitimizes the practice based on ijmaʿ (consensus), qiyās (analogy), and long-standing tradition, especially in communal rituals like tahlilan. The originality of this research lies in its focused comparison of the legal reasoning (istinbāṭ al-ḥukm) used by Indonesia’s two largest Islamic organizations, which reflects deeper epistemological tensions between scripturalist and traditionalist orientations in contemporary Islamic jurisprudence. The study has broader implications for understanding how Islamic authority is negotiated in pluralistic societies and how divergent methodologies shape religious practices at the grassroots level. These findings contribute to ongoing discussions on the role of legal pluralism, tradition, and reform in shaping Indonesian Islamic identity.

Abstract

In Morocco, fatwa authority has been strictly centralized through the Al-Majlis al-‘Ilmi al-A‘la under the King’s religious leadership as Amir al-Mu’minin. This system seeks to preserve the unity of the Maliki school and maintain national stability, yet it simultaneously raises dilemmas concerning the freedom of fatwas and the diversity of religious perspectives. This study analyzes the construction of Morocco’s fatwa authority and examines society’s responses to this centralized framework. Employing a descriptive-qualitative method with a socio-legal Islamic approach, the research draws on literature review and document analysis, utilizing primary sources such as official fatwas issued by Moroccan religious institutions and secondary sources including academic articles and digital media. The findings show that fatwas in Morocco serve not only as religious guidance but also as instruments of state legitimacy in shaping and regulating public religious discourse. At the same time, certain segments of society express resistance by turning to independent scholars and digital platforms, thereby challenging the state’s monopoly over religious interpretation. The article contributes to academic discourse by mapping the dynamics between state and religious authority in the Moroccan context and highlighting the epistemological challenges posed by digitalization and social transformation. Ultimately, this study underscores the tension between institutional stability and societal pluralism, offering insights into how fatwas function as both theological and political tools in contemporary Islamic law.
