Abstract

This study investigates the persistence of transactional politics within Indonesia’s contemporary democratic framework and critically evaluates the phenomenon from the perspective of Islamic law. Previous studies have predominantly examined transactional politics through political science and economic approaches, with limited integration between modern democratic theory and the normative framework of fiqh siyāsah and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, creating a clear research gap in interdisciplinary analyses of political practices in Muslim-majority democracies. This research employs a normative legal approach grounded in library research, analysing statutory regulations, classical fiqh siyāsah literature, and contemporary studies of Indonesian electoral politics. Transactional politics is the exchange of electoral support, political loyalty, or policy influence for material benefits or strategic positions in electoral competition. The findings indicate that structural factors, including high campaign costs, patronage networks, and inconsistent enforcement of campaign finance regulations and the prohibition on political dowries, drive the persistence of transactional politics. By integrating deliberative democracy, political clientelism, and political exchange theory with Islamic legal principles, this study offers a theoretical contribution by developing an integrative analytical framework to explain and normatively evaluate transactional politics within the context of contemporary Indonesian democracy.

Abstract

Human Rights (HAM) are fundamental rights inherent in every human being from birth and guaranteed by national law and religious principles. In the context of Indonesia, where the majority of the population is Muslim, studying the relationship between Islamic law and human rights is crucial to understanding the intersection between the two. Islamic law places human dignity as a primary value through the principle of al-ḍarūriyyāt al-khamsah, which means safeguarding religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. This principle aligns with the objectives of human rights, which emphasize the protection and respect of human dignity. Through the concept of Maqāṣid al-Syarī'ah, Islamic law aims to realize public welfare and prevent harm, thus making a real contribution to the implementation of human rights, both in social life and in the national legal system. In Indonesia, the influence of Islamic law is evident in the formation of legislation that aligns with the divine values of Pancasila. This demonstrates that Islamic law can serve as a moral and ethical basis for strengthening human rights, thereby creating a just and harmonious society.

Abstract

The trend of delaying marriage in contemporary Muslim societies has increased in line with social, economic, and cultural changes. This phenomenon has sparked normative debates in Islamic law as it conflicts with the recommendation to marry early and raises concerns about moral and social impacts. This study aims to analyze the social and moral implications of delaying marriage age through the perspective of contemporary fiqh using the maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah approach. The research uses a qualitative method with a literature review, with data sources in the form of classical and contemporary fiqh literature, works on maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah, as well as secondary data from official reports from the Central Statistics Agency and BKKBN and relevant scientific articles. The analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically by considering the practice of postponing marriage based on the principle of jalb al-maṣāliḥ wa dar’ al-mafāsid. The results of the study show that postponing marriage can be beneficial if it serves to mature economic, psychological, and social readiness, but has the potential to become harmful if it opens up space for moral violations and weakens self-control. A reinterpretation of the concept of istiṭā‘ah based on maqāṣid is necessary so that legal assessments are contextual and proportional.
