Abstract

The principle of popular sovereignty constitutes a fundamental doctrine in modern constitutional democracy, positioning the people as the ultimate source of political legitimacy. However, within Islamic political thought, this principle has often been perceived as theoretically problematic due to its assumed tension with the doctrine of divine sovereignty (ḥākimiyyah Allāh). This article aims to reconstruct the principle of popular sovereignty from the perspective of fiqh siyasah, moving beyond the conventional dichotomy between divine sovereignty and popular authority. Employing a normative-philosophical approach combined with conceptual and historical analysis, this study examines classical Islamic political doctrines alongside contemporary theories of sovereignty and constitutionalism. The findings demonstrate that fiqh siyasah does not reject popular sovereignty per se, but rather reframes it as a form of delegated, ethically bounded authority. Sovereignty, in this perspective, is not an absolute right of the people to legislate without limits, but a collective mandate exercised within the normative framework of Islamic law and oriented toward the realization of justice and public welfare (maqāṣid al-sharī’ah). Popular will acquire legitimacy not merely through procedural majority, but through its conformity with substantive ethical principles. This reconstruction offers a conceptual synthesis between Islamic political jurisprudence and modern democratic governance. It further shows that democratic institutions in Muslim-majority states can operate within a framework of constitutional and ethical sovereignty without negating Islamic normative foundations. In the Indonesian context, this model provides a theoretical basis for strengthening substantive democracy by integrating popular sovereignty with constitutional values and moral accountability. The article contributes to contemporary Islamic political thought by offering a prescriptive framework that bridges normative Islamic principles and modern constitutional practice.

Abstract

This study discusses the problem of protection and the position of children out of wedlock in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam, especially in the context of differences and similarities in legal policies between the two countries based on the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence. Children out of wedlock often face serious legal and social challenges, such as limited recognition of biological fathers, inheritance rights, and inherent social stigma. This research uses a qualitative approach with the library research method. Data was collected from a variety of relevant secondary sources, including scientific journals, law and jurisprudence books, as well as official documents such as national laws and regulations and Constitutional Court rulings in Indonesia. The analysis was carried out comparatively by examining the policy of protection of children out of wedlock in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam from the perspective of positive law and Islamic jurisprudence. The results of the study show that Indonesia has adopted a relatively more inclusive policy in providing protection for the rights of children out of wedlock through legislative reforms and Constitutional Court rulings. However, its implementation is still hampered by social factors such as societal stigma and low legal awareness. Meanwhile, Brunei Darussalam, which strictly applies Sharia law, shows a tendency towards more limited protection, especially related to the recognition of inheritance rights and the civil status of children out of wedlock. This article concludes that the differences in legal approaches in the two countries reflect the dynamics of Islamic jurisprudence interpretation in the context of modern countries. Both Indonesia and Brunei need to improve public legal literacy and make efforts to reduce social stigma to ensure more effective and equitable protection for children out of wedlock.
