Abstract

The principle of self-submission refers to the voluntary acceptance of a specific legal framework, particularly within Sharia economic dispute resolution. Law No. 3 of 2006 expanded the jurisdiction of Indonesia’s Religious Courts to adjudicate Sharia economic disputes, allowing non-Muslim litigants to participate under the condition of self-submission. While this legal provision promotes inclusivity, its practical application remains underexplored, particularly concerning its consistency with fundamental legal principles and its effectiveness in ensuring legal certainty. This study addresses this gap by critically examining the normative foundations and implementation of self-submission in Sharia economic dispute resolution through the lens of Lawrence M. Friedman’s legal system theory, which evaluates legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture. Employing a normative juridical approach, this research analyses statutory regulations, legal precedents, and court decisions to assess self-submission's coherence, adaptability, and limitations in Sharia economic adjudication. The findings indicate that while the principle of self-submission is structurally embedded within the legal system, its enforcement faces challenges in judicial interpretation, procedural inconsistencies, and the extent of its applicability to non-Muslim litigants. Furthermore, the study identifies gaps in legal certainty and harmonization with broader national and international legal frameworks. As a contribution to the discourse on Sharia economic law, this research proposes normative refinements and procedural enhancements to improve the clarity and effectiveness of self-submission, thereby strengthening Indonesia’s Sharia economic dispute resolution mechanism. These findings have broader implications for legal pluralism and the evolution of Sharia economic law in multi-religious societies.

Abstract

This article examined legal issues within Indonesia's Sharia insurance industry, focusing on implementing dual contracts combining tabarru’ (voluntary) and tijarah (business) agreements. The qualitative study used secondary data and a taxonomic technique to identify legal challenges. Ideally, the contract structure should separate the management of these two agreements, with tabarru’ as the primary contract and tijarah as supplementary. However, the findings revealed that Indonesia's takaful industry prioritized the supplementary tijarah contract over the primary tabarru’. This issue resulted in inadequate separation of tabarru’ and tijarah funds, leading to the mixing of returns from both sectors. This practice contradicted the fatwas issued by the National Sharia Council-The Indonesian Ulama Council (DSN-MUI) regarding Islamic insurance.Additionally, the article identifies ambiguities within some DSN-MUI guidelines. To address these issues, the article proposed an alternative contract scheme from the perspective of fiqh al-mu'amalah (Islamic economic law), suggesting that tabarru’ could be based on a fee (ujrah). In contrast, other contracts could be structured around profit and loss-sharing investment agreements.

Abstract

The housing business continues to grow along with the increasing need for the fulfillment of housing. This research delves into the application of mushārakah mutanāqiṣah in housing finance within Indonesia and Malaysia, scrutinizing their regulations and relevant governing institutions. Employing a normative legal approach, it explores legal principles, systematics, synchronization, and historical context about this financing method. Employing inductive, deductive, and comparative methods, it analyzes regulations and practices in both countries. By offering insights into the potential and challenges of implementing mushārakah mutanāqiṣah in housing finance, the study aims to provide recommendations for regulatory enhancements, fatwa institutions, product development, and adherence to sharī’ah principles. This research is crucial for deepening understanding and facilitating improvements in various sectors related to housing finance within the context of Islamic finance in Indonesia and Malaysia.
