Abstract

The role of marriage witnesses for deaf individuals has been a subject of debate among various Islamic schools of thought. The Compilation of Islamic Law (Kompilasi Hukum Islam or KHI), as Indonesia’s codified Islamic jurisprudence, adopts the view of scholars who prohibit deaf individuals from serving as marriage witnesses. This article critically examines the KHI’s stance, arguing that it marginalizes deaf individuals in the marriage process. This study employs a normative approach, utilizing Auda’s maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah concept. The findings reveal that the exclusion of deaf individuals as marriage witnesses stems from the KHI’s restrictive interpretation, which is rooted in classical fiqh. As a legal product influenced by Shafi’i jurisprudence, the KHI maintains the requirement that marriage witnesses must have both auditory and visual capabilities. However, through the principles of openness and purposefulness in Auda’s maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, this study argues that hearing-impaired individuals possess the necessary qualifications to serve as marriage witnesses. In contemporary society, deaf individuals effectively communicate through various means, including sign language and assistive technologies. Therefore, a legal reinterpretation based on universal Islamic values—particularly those emphasizing equality and justice—is both necessary and justified. [Peran saksi pernikahan bagi individu tunarungu telah menjadi perdebatan di antara berbagai mazhab fikih. Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI) mengadopsi pandangan ulama yang melarang individu tunarungu menjadi saksi pernikahan. Artikel ini secara kritis meninjau pandangan KHI, dengan berargumen bahwa ketentuan tersebut (sengaja) meminggirkan individu tunarungu dalam proses pernikahan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan normatif dengan memanfaatkan kerangka maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah ala Auda. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa eksklusi terhadap individu tunarungu sebagai saksi pernikahan berasal dari interpretasi KHI yang terbatas, yang berakar pada doktrin fikih klasik. Sebagai produk hukum yang banyak dipengaruhi oleh mazhab Syafi’i, KHI menetapkan bahwa saksi pernikahan harus memiliki kemampuan mendengar dan melihat. Namun, melalui prinsip keterbukaan dan ‘kebertujuan’ dalam maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah Auda, penelitian ini berpendapat bahwa individu dengan gangguan pendengaran tetap memenuhi kualifikasi untuk menjadi saksi pernikahan. Dalam masyarakat kontemporer, individu tunarungu dapat berkomunikasi secara efektif melalui berbagai sarana, termasuk bahasa isyarat dan teknologi pembantu. Oleh karena itu, reinterpretasi hukum berdasarkan nilai-nilai universal Islam—khususnya yang menekankan kesetaraan dan keadilan—dapat dibenarkan.]

Abstract

This study examines the mosque-based family corner in Malang Regency as a community institution implementing a legal awareness intervention programme for victims of domestic violence. The research specifically analyses the design and implementation of this intervention through the perspective of Jamaluddin Athiyyah’s maqāṣid al-usrah, while also evaluating key programme components such as legal education, counselling, mediation, and legal advocacy aimed at enhancing victims’ legal awareness. Employing field research with a descriptive-qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with family corner counsellors, religious figures, and community leaders, complemented by direct field observations of programme activities. The findings demonstrate that the mosque-based family corner plays a significant role in assisting families affected by domestic violence, particularly by increasing victims’ understanding of their legal rights and encouraging informed decision-making through non-litigation mechanisms. The intervention programme contributes positively to strengthening family integrity, restoring communication, and fostering a shared commitment to preserving family unity following incidents of domestic violence. These outcomes are consistent with the core objectives of Jamaluddin Athiyyah’s maqāṣid al-usrah, including the realisation of sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah within the family; the protection of life (ḥifẓ an-nafs); the safeguarding of religious values (ḥifẓ at-tadayyun); and the reinforcement of family institutions as a foundation of social stability. This study enriches the scholarly discourse on legal awareness among women victims of domestic violence, particularly those who choose counselling-based, non-litigation pathways, and highlights the strategic role of mosque-based community institutions in promoting access to justice and family resilience.
