Abstract

This research discusses the phenomenon of delaying the burial of the customary leader of Agam Regency from the perspective of qiyas. This study uses a qualitative approach involving various data collection techniques, including interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Amid shifting values and changing religious practices in the community, the practice of funerals has become a sensitive issue that combines religious teachings and local traditions. A delay in the burial of a traditional leader may occur due to an important traditional ceremony or pending the arrival of family members from afar. Qiyas, as a method of analogy in Islamic law, becomes an instrument to formulate a conclusion in this case. The principle of qiyas allows postponement of burial if there is a greater benefit, such as maintaining the integrity of the family or strengthening the cultural identity of the local community. However, this must be done with due regard to basic religious principles, such as preserving the honor of the deceased and preventing any physical harm that may result from the delay. The study concludes that the postponement of the burial of the customary leader of Agam Regency from the perspective of qiyas can be justified in carefully regulated situations, considering the balance between religious demands, local traditions, and the social needs of the local community. The importance of dialogue between religious authorities and traditional leaders in addressing this issue cannot be overlooked, as it involves a deep understanding of intersecting religious and cultural values.

Abstract

This study aims to examine Imam al-Layth ibn Saʿd’s legal opinion on the permissibility of treating receivables as zakat and to analyze the jurisprudential foundations underlying his position. The research employs a qualitative library-based method using fiqh and uṣūl al-fiqh approaches through a systematic analysis of classical legal texts, authoritative works documenting al-Layth’s opinions, and contemporary literature on zakat and debt. The findings reveal that Imam al-Layth permits a creditor to discharge zakat obligations by cancelling receivables owed by poor or insolvent debtors, considering such debt forgiveness to effectively realize the objectives of zakat by alleviating the financial burden of eligible beneficiaries. His legal reasoning is primarily based on the principles of maṣlaḥah (public benefit) and the substantive equivalence between debt cancellation and direct zakat distribution, rather than a strict interpretation of tamlīk (transfer of ownership). The study concludes that al-Layth’s opinion represents a purposive approach to Islamic jurisprudence that emphasizes the realization of social justice and the objectives of zakat over formal legal procedures. This research contributes to Islamic legal scholarship by providing a comprehensive analysis of an alternative classical juristic opinion and offering a maqāṣid-based framework for contemporary discussions on zakat administration, debt relief, and Islamic social finance.

Abstract

This research examines the position of harta pusako tinggi in Minangkabau and the process of ta’lil al-ahkam in relation to waqf property, identifying the similarities and differences between the two. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing library sources and interviews, which are then formulated through inductive and deductive reasoning. The findings indicate that Minangkabau scholars analogize harta pusako tinggi to waqf, with particular emphasis on the aspect of legal validity (the permissibility of its utilization). Harta pusako tinggi and waqf are not entirely identical; rather, they share many similarities while also exhibiting several differences. Nevertheless, these differences do not hinder the validity of the analogy. From the perspective of ta’lil al-ahkam, waqf functions as the ashl (principal case), while harta pusako tinggi constitutes the furu‘ (derivative case). The ‘illah underlying this analogy is the characteristic of al-ḥabs, namely the practice of restraining property so that it may provide long-term benefits and prevent various forms of taṣarruf (disposal or transfer) over it. The legal ruling of the ashl is the permissibility of its utilization and legal legitimacy; such property may be used and continuously transmitted to subsequent generations in accordance with the established system. This form of analogy serves as a rebuttal to views that prohibit the utilization of harta pusako tinggi and, instead, reinforces its existence, continuity, and protection from extinction. In this regard, the concepts inherent in waqf can contribute to refining and complementing the existing regulations governing harta pusako tinggi.
