Abstract

Sri Lanka is a country with diverse religions and ethnicities. Sri Lanka’s Muslim-Buddhist relationship dates back centuries. Its diverse background is due to its long history of religions, cultures, and ethnic groups. Because of tension and enmity between different ethnic groups, ethnic conflict is frequent. Exactly this happened with the Easter Sunday bombings on 21 April 2019. The main objective of this study is to examine whether the criticism and hate speech that occurred after the Eastern Sunday attack affected the social interaction of university students. The researchers used a mixed method of study through an empirical approach. The data for the study were collected by distribution of 268 questionnaires and 25 unstructured interviews. The questionnaire data were analysed with the help of SPSS software (version 26); interview transcriptions underwent a coding analysis method. According to the findings, There was a healthy social interaction between the undergraduates of the two religions. Nevertheless, factors that hinder mutual contact include frequent meetings with the same religious students and being threatened by one's religious friends when developing good relations with a person belonging to another religion. Several parameters need to be met for a healthy social co-existence to be built on mutual understanding, including a lack of understanding of other religious beliefs and a lack of interest in learning other recipes. It is likely that if this situation continues in the future, tensions will arise between Muslims and other students at the university.

Abstract

Islam serves as a comprehensive guide for human beings, governing their daily affairs, including earthly life and the hereafter. Islamic jurisprudence categorises all human conduct into permissible (halal) and forbidden (haram). Islam emphasises the proper preparation of halal meat for consumption. This study aims to explore perceptions of halal slaughtering among butchers in the Ampara district of Sri Lanka's Eastern province. In this qualitative study, researchers used a descriptive approach. Data were collected through questionnaires and literature review to construct a framework of Halal Slaughtering (Dhabihah). The study used Purposive Sampling Method (PSM) to select 100 butchers, with 88 usable questionnaires returned (Response rate 88%). Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS (Version 24). Findings indicate participants have a comprehensive understanding of halal slaughtering practices as prescribed in Islamic law. However, the study identifies areas of deficiency in perceptions, particularly regarding animals not witnessing slaughter (X̄ = 3.00), facing the Qiblah (X̄=3.01), and severing trachea, larynx, and associated structures in a single operation (X̄ = 3.09). Knife sharpening (X̄ = 4.98) and continuous slaughter of multiple animals recitation of "Bismillahi Allahu Akbar" during slaughtering cannot be ensured. To ensure strict implementation of halal slaughtering, The Halal Assessment Council (HAC) should initiate mechanisms to ensure halal slaughter and issue authenticity certificates, Al Cylon Jamiyyathul Ulama and All Mosques Federation organise awareness programmes for butchers and provide guidance, and revoke permits for proprietors not adhering to halal regulations. Furthermore, the researchers posit that the study's outcomes will establish a foundation for future research endeavours and prompt policymakers to consider regulating halal slaughtering processes.

Abstract

Marriage registration serves as a pivotal legal mechanism for safeguarding the rights of spouses and heirs. In Sri Lanka, while marriage registration is obligatory for most communities, it remains optional for Muslims under the Muslim Marriage and Divorce Act (MMDA) of 1951. This study examines the necessity of mandatory Muslim marriage registration in Sri Lanka through the framework of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah. Utilizing legal analysis, this study assesses the impact of optional registration on women's rights and the legal status of heirs, highlighting challenges such as inheritance disputes, economic vulnerabilities, and child marriage. It also highlights the historical context of marriage registration in Sri Lanka, comparative practices in other Muslim-majority countries, and the perspectives of Islamic scholars on marriage registration. The findings emphasize the alignment of mandatory registration with the objectives of preserving lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl), wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl), and dignity (ḥifẓ al-ʿird). The article concludes by proposing policy recommendations for legal reforms to the MMDA to mandate marriage registration, thereby enhancing the protection of the rights and well-being of the Muslim community in Sri Lanka.
