Abstract

This study examines and proposes several roles that Central Kalimantan Indonesian Ulama Council [Henceforth (MUI)] can play in encouraging Muslim participation in regional elections [Henceforth (Pilkada or Pemilukada)] through the perspective of fatwa on prohibition of abstention [Henceforth (golput)]. As a religious institution, MUI holds a strategic role in guiding Muslims on political issues, particularly regarding Pemilukada. In a democratic system, participation is crucial for electing leaders who can ensure people’s welfare and fulfill their responsibilities. The fatwa on the prohibition of golput, issued by MUI, serves as a normative foundation for Muslims to exercise their voting rights in Pilkada. This study utilized normative juridical by reviewing various secondary sources and literature relevant to the topic. The findings reveal that Central Kalimantan MUI can promote political awareness among Muslims in the region, with MUI actively participating in public outreach and campaigns about the importance of political participation. Furthermore, collaboration with local institutions such as the Indonesian Da’wah Institution, religious counselors, and media platforms is key in promoting Muslim voter participation through the fatwa on the prohibition of golput. This study also found that the fatwa has been highly effective in raising awareness among Muslims about the significance of their political involvement in regional elections.

Abstract

The protection of the rights of persons with disabilities has become an increasingly significant issue in both human rights discourse and contemporary Islamic legal scholarship. Although Indonesia enacted Law Number 8 of 2016 to guarantee the rights of persons with disabilities, scholarly attention devoted to examining the law through Jasser Auda's contemporary reconstruction of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah, particularly from the perspectives of social justice and systems theory, remains relatively limited. This study employed normative legal research using a juridical-philosophical approach by analysing primary legal materials, principally Law Number 8 of 2016, supported by relevant legislation, scholarly literature, and contemporary Islamic legal scholarship. The study aims to analyse the compatibility of the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities under Law Number 8 of 2016 with Jasser Auda's maqāṣid al-sharīʿah and to explore how his systems approach provides a more comprehensive interpretive framework for understanding disability law beyond conventional normative analysis. The findings demonstrate that the law reflects a paradigm shift from a charity-based approach to a human rights-based approach by recognising persons with disabilities as equal citizens entitled to full participation in public life. The findings further indicate that the law fulfils the six essential objectives of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah while embodying the six principles of Jasser Auda's systems approach, namely cognitive nature, wholeness, openness, interrelated hierarchy, multidimensionality, and purposefulness. This study contributes to the advancement of contemporary Islamic legal scholarship by demonstrating that maqāṣid al-sharīʿah can serve as a dynamic interpretive framework for disability law and offers policy implications for strengthening the implementation of the rights of persons with disabilities in Indonesia.
