Abstract

The controversy surrounding the refusal of the Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) of Payakumbuh City to issue a recommendation for a *tabligh akbar* led by Ustadz Abdul Somad (UAS) during the local election period highlights a persistent tension between the protection of constitutional rights and efforts to maintain the political neutrality of places of worship. MUI Payakumbuh asserted that the decision did not target religious preaching per se, but rather aimed to prevent indications of covert political campaigning conducted under the guise of religious gatherings in mosques. This study examines the legal basis and constitutional legitimacy of MUI’s action, maps the local political dynamics of Minangkabau society that shape the controversy, and assesses its implications for freedom of religion, expression, and the regulation of religious spaces in electoral contexts. The study employs a qualitative normative-empirical approach. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with MUI officials and mosque administrators in Payakumbuh, while secondary data consist of MUI fatwas and recommendations, electoral regulations (Law No. 7 of 2017, KPU and Bawaslu regulations), and national and local media reports. Data were analysed using statutory analysis, case study methods, and critical discourse analysis. The findings indicate that the prohibition of political campaigning in places of worship has a strong normative foundation in electoral law. However, from a constitutional perspective, MUI’s intervention risks regulatory overreach when the notion of practical politics is applied without clear, objective criteria and accountable procedures.

Abstract

This study aims to reconstruct radhaʿah as a maqāṣid-based framework of lactation justice for Muslim working mothers without altering its settled doctrinal consequences. It combines normative Islamic legal analysis of Qurʾanic verses, hadith, classical fiqh, and maqāṣid scholarship with an integrative review of workplace lactation and care literature. Four targeted Scopus searches yielded 1,051 unique records after deduplication. Appraisal retained 54 journal articles; seven additional works identified through backward citation tracing and purposive supplementation brought the contemporary corpus to 61 articles. The analysis shows that radhaʿah scholarship treats the establishment and documentation of milk kinship in considerable detail, whereas workplace studies identify recurrent vulnerabilities involving time, privacy, workload, usable facilities, organizational culture, and employment protection. Islamic family law also recognizes a distributive logic through paternal maintenance, prevention of harm, mutual consultation, and ujrah al-radhāʿah, but these obligations are rarely connected to the responsibilities of workplaces and public institutions. The study concludes that the protective reasoning of radhaʿah can extend to the conditions of lactation without altering the established rules of milk kinship. Its contribution is a maqāṣid-based framework of lactation justice that joins milk-kinship certainty with child and maternal protection, bodily dignity, economic security, and differentiated institutional responsibility. This framework clarifies that lactation justice is not a departure from classical doctrine, but a contextual extension of its protective objectives, requiring coordinated support from families, employers, and public institutions while preserving doctrinal certainty concerning milk kinship and its legal effects clearly.
