The case of corruption involving hajj funds in Indonesia has caused a major shock to public trust and the integrity of religious institutions. This study attempts to examine normatively and juridically how the criminal justice system responds to the misuse of hajj funds that should be used for the benefit of the people. The purpose of this study is to examine the application of relevant articles of law in criminal acts of corruption, as well as to assess the extent to which sanctions and correctional policies reflect the social justice and religious morality of society. The research method uses a normative legal approach with an analysis of literature, legislation, and court decisions related to the management of hajj funds. The results of the study show that the application of law in this case often focuses on formal criminal aspects, but does not fully address the ethical and spiritual dimensions of the management of religious funds. These findings emphasize the importance of legal policy reforms that not only prosecute perpetrators of corruption, but also restore the trust of the people through transparency, accountability, and fair correctional guidance. In conclusion, law enforcement against corruption of hajj funds needs to be placed in a framework that balances legal certainty, public morality, and religious values so that the goal of substantive justice can be realized.
