Abstract

This research examines the significant role of clerics (kyai) and santri in mobilizing political support during regional head elections (pilkada) and general elections in Indonesia, as well as their broader influence on local political dynamics. Based on an extensive review of literature and previous empirical studies, this research identifies that the political engagement of kyai and pesantren is largely shaped by cultural patterns embedded in practical politics, such as charismatic leadership, patron–client relationships, and communal obedience to religious figures. In addition, this study analyzes the implications of revisions to campaign regulations in pesantren following the Constitutional Court Decision Number 65/PUU-XXI/2023. This ruling permits political campaigns to take place in educational institutions and places of worship under specific legal conditions, thereby altering the normative boundaries between religious spaces and political activities. While the decision aims to ensure equality of political participation and freedom of expression, it also raises critical concerns regarding the potential politicization of religious education. By employing Al-Mawardi’s theory of political appropriateness and propriety, this research evaluates whether campaigning in pesantren aligns with the ethical foundations of Islamic political thought. According to Al-Mawardi, political actions must be guided by moral considerations and the public good (maslahah), rather than short-term political interests. The findings suggest that although campaigns in pesantren are legally permissible, they are ethically questionable. Consequently, this study argues that political campaigns in pesantren should be avoided to preserve the sanctity of religious education and to prevent the encroachment of partisan politics into educational and spiritual domains.

Abstract

Studies on interfaith marriage in Muslim societies have generally focused either on Islamic ‎legal doctrine or on state regulation, while relatively little attention has been paid to how ‎Qur’anic interpretation is institutionalized within diverse socio-legal contexts. This article ‎examines the interpretation of al-Māʾidah (5):5 and its legal implications in Southeast Asia, ‎particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, and Singapore. Employing a ‎qualitative library-based method, the study combines Qur’anic exegesis, maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, ‎and comparative family law analysis to investigate the interaction between scriptural ‎interpretation and legal regulation. The findings demonstrate that although classical exegetes ‎generally recognized the permissibility of marriage between Muslim men and women from ‎among the Ahl al-Kitāb, contemporary legal responses vary considerably across Southeast ‎Asia. These variations are shaped not only by exegetical reasoning but also by differences in ‎Muslim demographics, state-religion relations, legal pluralism, and national regulatory ‎frameworks. The study further proposes a transcendental-emancipatory reconciliatory ‎framework that integrates textual fidelity, maqāṣid-oriented reasoning, socio-legal pluralism, ‎and contextual interpretation to explain the coexistence of divergent legal approaches while ‎preserving the normative objectives of Islamic law. The article contributes to the growing ‎scholarship on Qur’anic interpretation and Islamic family law by demonstrating that the ‎contemporary meaning and application of al-Māʾidah (5):5 are significantly influenced by the ‎political, legal, and social realities of Southeast Asian Muslim societies.‎
