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

This study examines the tradition of wearing Mispa among the Bugis community in Bulu-Bulu Village, Tonra District, following the performance of the Hajj, from the perspectives of Islamic law and the sociology of religious law. The study aims to explore the social, cultural, and religious foundations underlying the persistence of the Mispa tradition among female pilgrims, as well as to analyze the normative tension between customary practices and Islamic legal prescriptions regarding aurat (modesty requirements). This research employs a qualitative field research method using normative-juridical and empirical approaches, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the tradition of wearing Mispa functions not merely as an item of clothing but as a symbol of honor (siri’), spiritual commitment, and a marker of social identity within Bugis society. The tradition also encompasses socio-economic and cultural dimensions through the involvement of local artisans and constitutes an integral part of post-Hajj cultural expression. However, from the perspective of Islamic law, the practice of wearing Mispa, particularly the use of transparent fabric, raises normative concerns, as it potentially contradicts Islamic prescriptions regarding the covering of aurat. These findings highlight the existence of a dynamic negotiation between customary law and Islamic law, underscoring the importance of cultural and contextual approaches in responding to local religious practices within the demands of Islamic normative frameworks.
