Abstract

This study discusses the way in determining ‘illat through the munasabah method proposed by Imam al-Ghazali in the perspective of Islamic law. The study focuses on two main problems: the identification of ‘illat through munasabah and the legal formulation to utilize hikmat to obtain ‘illat according to al-Ghazali. This normative legal research used a legal history approach as an analytical tool to examine the Islamic scholars’ thoughts on concepts, theories and ways of doing istinbath. The study concluded that according to al-Ghazali there are three kinds of munasabah in determining ‘illat, consisting of munasib mu’atstsir, munasab mula’im, and munasib gharib. In munasib mu’atstsir, there is no issue found in seeking ‘illat because the ‘illat is understood directly from the nash or ijma’. Therefore, munasabah is no longer needed in the determining ‘illat. Here, the munasabah method focuses on munasib mula’im and munasib gharib in identifying ‘illat. Munasib mula’im seeks for the genus ‘illat, an ‘illat drawn from every event that has been predetermined by the nash, by examining the same hikmah in each of the events. Such hikmah is then used as the genus ‘illat which will later be applied as qiyas for other events that have been legally stipulated by the nash. On the other hand, munasib gharib seeks for the species ‘illat, an ‘illat obtained from an event that has been predetermined by the nash, with no comparison found in other events. ‘Illat determined from munasib gharib is also hikmah, having no concrete nature. In the perspective of legal history, this method of seeking ‘illat is inseparable from kalam and philosophy as was the development of the Islamic sciences at the time. As such, this had also affected al-Ghazali’s mastery in Islamic law as well as in other Islamic disciplines.

Abstract

The division of inheritance is a legal matter that intersects significantly with local customs and cultural practices. Within the field of legal studies, dispute resolution is generally categorized into two pathways: litigation (formal legal processes) and non-litigation (customary deliberation). Non-litigation methods include Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and customary courts, the latter being a distinctive feature of Aceh's legal landscape, recognized as a special domain of customary law by the Indonesian government. Each approach to resolving inheritance disputes, whether through formal or customary channels, presents its own advantages and drawbacks. This article examines the resolution of inheritance disputes and the legal consequences arising from the application of customary justice mechanisms in Aceh. The research adopts an empirical legal methodology, incorporating sociological and anthropological perspectives. Fieldwork was conducted in Aceh Besar, Central Aceh, and Aceh Tamiang districts, utilizing interviews and literature reviews for data collection. The findings reveal that inheritance division in local tradition follows the concept of trok uroe, with distribution being the responsibility of the heirs. Inheritance disputes in Aceh are predominantly resolved through non-litigation avenues, specifically through customary institutions operating within the gampong and mukim customary courts. The resulting legal implications are primarily non-litigation impacts, including both primary and secondary social effects, though these are not overwhelmingly dominant. Litigation-based legal consequences, while present, are minimal in influence. From a sociological and anthropological standpoint, the preference for non-litigation approaches contributes positively to social cohesion and cultural preservation within the Acehnese society.

Abstract

The issue of inheritance is closely related to kinship ties, both blood and marital. An example of marriage model in the Gayo community differs from other Acehnese communities, thus leading to different inheritance practices. The Gayo community recognizes three marriage models: jeulen, angkap, and kuso-kini. This is interesting to study in relation to the inheritance system in the Gayo community and its connection to these marriage models. Research findings indicate that inheritance practices in some parts of the Gayo community are greatly influenced by their marriage models. For instance, female children who marry jeulen may not receive inheritance rights, while male children who marry angkap may also be excluded from inheritance. According to traditional Gayo leaders, the inheritance system in the Gayo community is not directly influenced by their marriage system, as they adhere to Islamic inheritance laws. Any deviation from Islamic inheritance laws is attributed to the ignorance of village authorities or the heirs themselves, rather than customary practices. The research also found other inheritance issues practiced by the Gayo community, such as equal distribution of inheritance based on responsibilities towards parents and family. The study also revealed various cultural practices in the Gayo community that warrant further serious and in-depth research, both in terms of marital customs and inheritance systems (such as cases where parents are not given inheritance rights when the heir is still alive), and other related matters.

Abstract

 This study analyzes the implementation of isbat nikah (marriage legalization) among Muslim communities in Aceh, examining whether it is driven by genuine legal awareness or merely administrative necessity—often used reactively to obtain birth certificates, inheritance rights, or access to social assistance. The central issue arises when isbat nikah is perceived merely as a shortcut to legalize previously unregistered marriages, rather than as a legal process reflecting compliance with the state’s normative legal framework. The purpose of this research is to examine the meaning of isbat nikah in the context of legal consciousness within society and to identify its legal position as an instrument for resolving socio-religious problems. The research employs a normative juridical method with both conceptual and statutory approaches to examine the legal basis of isbat nikah as regulated in the Compilation of Islamic Law, Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, and the procedural provisions of the Religious Courts. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically through the examination of legal norms and the interpretation of empirical practices evolving within society. The findings reveal that the practice of isbat nikah is predominantly motivated by administrative needs rather than genuine legal awareness. Muslim communities tend to interpret isbat nikah as a legal mechanism to obtain state recognition for marriages already valid under religious law, with its primary function serving administrative purposes. The legal position of isbat nikah plays a crucial role in resolving socio-religious issues stemming from unregistered marriages and in providing legal protection for women and children. However, public compliance with isbat nikah remains reactive and administrative in nature, driven by practical needs rather than a normative understanding of legal obligation. [Penelitian ini menganalisis pelaksanaan isbat nikah di kalangan masyarakat Muslim di Aceh yang dilakukan atas dasar kesadaran hukum atau kepentingan administratif sebagai respons reaktif untuk pengurusan akta kelahiran anak, warisan, atau kepentingan administrasi lainnya. Permasalahan utama muncul karena isbat nikah dimaknai semata sebagai jalan pintas legalisasi perkawinan yang sebelumnya tidak tercatat, bukan sebagai proses hukum yang mencerminkan kepatuhan terhadap norma hukum negara. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis makna isbat nikah dalam konteks kesadaran hukum masyarakat serta mengidentifikasi posisi hukum isbat nikah sebagai instrumen penyelesaian masalah sosial keagamaan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis empiris dan yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual dan perundang-undangan untuk menelaah dasar hukum isbat nikah yang diatur dalam Kompilasi Hukum Islam, Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan, serta ketentuan peradilan agama. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif dan analitis melalui penelaahan norma hukum dan interpretasi terhadap praktik empiris yang berkembang di masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa makna pelaksanaan isbat nikah lebih didorong oleh kebutuhan administratif daripada kesadaran hukum yang sejati. Isbat nikah dimaknai masyarakat sebagai sarana hukum untuk memperoleh pengakuan negara atas perkawinan yang telah sah secara agama, dengan fungsi utama sebagai pemenuhan kebutuhan administratif. Posisi hukum isbat nikah berperan penting dalam menyelesaikan problem sosial keagamaan akibat perkawinan tidak tercatat serta memberikan perlindungan hukum bagi perempuan dan anak. Ketaatan masyarakat terhadap isbat nikah masih bersifat reaktif dan administratif, dipengaruhi oleh kebutuhan praktis, bukan oleh kesadaran hukum yang lahir dari nilai normatif.]
