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

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.
