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.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of e-commerce has significantly altered the global trade landscape, presenting legal challenges and opportunities, particularly in cross-border transactions. Arbitration has emerged as an effective mechanism for resolving e-commerce disputes, due to its enforceability and flexibility. The intersection between arbitration and e-commerce necessitates immediate attention as electronic signatures, digital contracts, and remote proceedings become more common. This study employed a normative legal approach to evaluate the arbitration frameworks of Indonesia and Taiwan in the context of e-commerce disputes. While Law No. 19 of 2016 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) supports Indonesia's legal system, it lacks specific provisions on arbitration for digital commerce, particularly in international contexts. In contrast, Taiwan exhibits a more comprehensive system integrating its Electronic Signatures Act with arbitration practices, enabling a more significant adaptation to technological advancements. While Taiwan's Arbitration Act does not explicitly regulate remote hearings, the Code of Civil Procedure and Judicial Yuan's pertinent regulations permit remote hearings, video conferencing, and electronic evidence submission, thereby guaranteeing continuity and efficiency, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to this investigation, Taiwan's institutional and procedural preparedness for digital dispute resolution is more advanced. To augment its e-commerce arbitration skills, Indonesia must integrate digital technologies and address regulatory gaps within its arbitration system. The comparative research provides a distinct viewpoint on how both nations might mutually benefit from enhancing legal clarity, effectiveness, and cross-border enforceability within the digital economy.

Abstract

This study critically examines the implementation of the electronic court (e-Court) system in resolving Sharia economic disputes within Indonesia’s Religious Courts, focusing on selected jurisdictions in Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Central Java, and East Java. Introduced through Supreme Court Regulations No. 1 of 2019 and No. 7 of 2022, the e-Court system aims to modernize judicial processes and realize justice that is simple, fast, and affordable. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research draws on data from eight Religious Courts: East Jakarta, South Jakarta, Sleman, Wonosari, Sidoarjo, Surabaya, Pemalang, and Slawi, through interviews, observation, and document analysis. Findings show that while the e-Court system enhances administrative efficiency and transparency, its implementation remains uneven. Urban courts such as Jakarta and Surabaya demonstrate successful digital integration, whereas Wonosari, Pemalang, and Slawi face obstacles in infrastructure, internet access, and digital literacy. These disparities create hybrid practices and raise concerns about procedural validity and data security. From a prophetic law perspective, the e-Court reform embodies the moral ideals of humanization (amar ma’ruf), liberation (nahi munkar), and transcendence (tu’minuna billah). However, unequal access to digital justice contradicts these prophetic values. The study concludes that achieving ethical and inclusive digital transformation requires embedding prophetic legal principles into judicial policy to ensure that modernization serves humanity and justice, not merely administrative efficiency.
