Abstract

The emergence of Virtual Umrah, a digitally simulated pilgrimage experience, has sparked debate in the fields of Islamic jurisprudence and contemporary spirituality. This study aims to examine the legitimacy of Virtual Umrah from an Islamic legal perspective, explore users' spiritual experiences, and analyze responses from scholars and the public. Using a qualitative approach based on literature review and secondary data analysis, the study finds that Virtual Umrah cannot substitute for physical umrah, as it fails to fulfill essential legal requirements such as travel (safar) and actual ritual performance. Nonetheless, it holds significant potential as an educational tool to prepare and enhance spiritual awareness. Most users reported increased understanding and emotional connection to religious rituals, despite limitations in sensory and social interaction. Islamic scholars offer divergent views: some consider it a valuable tool for da’wah and learning, while others express concern over a potential dilution of sacred meaning. This study also emphasizes the need for religious guidelines and ethical frameworks to ensure that such innovations do not blur the distinction between symbolic worship and legally valid rituals. Given the rise of VR/AR technologies and the spiritual preferences of the digital generation, Virtual Umrah has the potential to become an effective educational bridge toward a more meaningful real-life pilgrimage experience.

Abstract

This study analyzes the allocation patterns of the BOS (School Operational Assistance) Fund for Madrasahs from 2015 to 2025 through a political economy lens. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach, it combines quantitative analysis of secondary data from the Ministry of Religious Affairs with in-depth interviews involving 30 stakeholders across two key provinces (West Java, West Nusa Tenggara). The findings reveal significant disparities in fund distribution, influenced not solely by objective needs but also by electoral political interests. The concentration of funds in regions aligned with ruling party strongholds and spending surges in electoral years (e.g., 2018 and 2023) highlight systemic politicization. While certain regions saw improvements in madrasah infrastructure, the overall impact on teaching quality particularly in underdeveloped areas remains limited. This study recommends a restructured allocation formula based on real needs, local fiscal capacity, and institutional performance. Additionally, it proposes the establishment of an independent body to depoliticize Islamic education funding. The findings aim to guide policymakers in crafting a more equitable, evidence-based, and transparent budget allocation framework for religious education.
