Abstract

The phenomenon of using sound horeg—a high-volume loudspeaker system with a dominant bass—has become a trend in various regions of Indonesia, particularly in entertainment events and public gatherings. While it provides entertainment value and cultural appeal, its usage often triggers noise pollution, public disturbances, and social conflicts. In response to this phenomenon, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) of East Java issued Fatwa No. 1 of 2025, which provides ethical and religious guidelines regarding the use of sound horeg. This study employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach with a library research method, focusing on the content analysis of the fatwa through the perspective of maslahah mursalah. The aim is to examine the content of MUI East Java Fatwa No. 1 of 2025, analyze the maslahah mursalah considerations underlying its issuance, and assess its social and religious implications within society. The findings indicate that the fatwa explicitly declares the use of sound horeg as haram, since it generates more harm than benefit. Nevertheless, the fatwa provides certain exceptions, namely when the use of sound equipment is conducted in a reasonable manner, without excess, and without causing harm to the surrounding community.

Abstract

The enforcement of electoral laws is a critical element in safeguarding the integrity and legitimacy of democracy in Indonesia. The Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu), as the oversight body, plays a central role in ensuring elections are conducted honestly, fairly, and with dignity. However, Bawaslu’s limited authority, confined to issuing recommendations without investigative powers, results in low effectiveness in electoral law enforcement. Coordination through the Integrated Law Enforcement Center (Gakkumdu) is often hindered by bureaucratic complexities, differing interpretations of authority, and tight deadlines, causing many violation cases to stall before reaching the investigation stage. This article examines Bawaslu’s structural weaknesses from juridical perspectives, national case studies, and international comparisons with electoral law enforcement systems in the Philippines, Brazil, and South Africa. The analysis demonstrates that granting Bawaslu limited investigative authority can strengthen electoral justice, expedite legal processes, and enhance public trust in democracy. Institutional reforms integrating oversight, inquiry, and investigative functions are proposed as a solution to achieve effective, independent, and integrity-driven electoral law enforcement, in line with the principles of the rule of law and social justice.
