The development of sharia economic law in Indonesia after the Reformasi era has shown significant growth, particularly through the transformation from law living in society (living law) into positive law within the national legal system. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of regulation and the direction of reformulating sharia economic law within the national political configuration after the Reformasi era. This study examines the development of sharia economic law regulations, the integration of Islamic socio-political ideas into the national legal system, and the need to renew legal materials to make them more applicable and oriented toward public welfare. The results of the study show that the more conducive political climate after the Reformasi era has encouraged the positivization of sharia economic law, as reflected in the enactment of Law Number 10 of 1998, Law Number 21 of 2008, and the expansion of the authority of the Religious Courts through Law Number 3 of 2006 to adjudicate sharia economic disputes. These findings show that political reform plays an important role in strengthening the legal legitimacy of sharia economic law as part of the national legal system. The conclusion of the study affirms that strengthening sharia economic law legislation in the future requires comprehensive codification through re-examination (i‘adah al-nadhar) and the development of legal materials that go beyond the limits of school-of-law unification so as to be more responsive to societal needs. The implications of this study provide theoretical contributions to the development of the legal politics of sharia economics as well as practical recommendations for policymakers in formulating regulations that are applicable, inclusive, and oriented toward public welfare.
