This study explores the relationship between Islamic law and the meaning of male status in the Bajapuik custom in Padang Pariaman. The Bajapuik custom is a unique tradition in Minangkabau culture where the woman gives a sum of money to the man as part of the marriage process. This practice often raises debates about its appropriateness and implications in the context of Islamic law. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to analyze the perspectives of the Padang Pariaman community on the Bajapuik custom and the views of Islamic law on the practice. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The results show that although the Bajapuik custom is considered an integral part of the Minangkabau cultural identity, there are various views regarding its appropriateness with the principles of Islamic law. Some religious figures consider it not to be in conflict with sharia as long as it does not violate the principle of mahar (dowry) in Islam, while others argue that this practice needs to be adjusted to be more in line with Islamic teachings. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics between customary traditions and Islamic law and their implications for the social status of men in Padang Pariaman society.

This study aims to analyze the organizational communication patterns of religious counselors in the Neglasari community in developing religious moderation in Tangerang City and to examine the factors that hinder their communication efforts. The research is grounded in the constructivist paradigm, which holds that observed social realities cannot be generalized. The research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing in-depth interviews with religious leaders, the chairman of the Forum for Religious Harmony (FKUB), religious counselors, and community leaders. The findings reveal two main points: first, the organizational communication of religious counselors in the Neglasari community to promote religious moderation is shaped by efforts to maintain interfaith harmony. However, these efforts are often limited to interactions among religious leaders and religious organizations. Second, the barriers to organizational communication among religious counselors in developing religious moderation include a lack of intensive outreach, insufficient government guidance on religious moderation within the community, and, in some cases, community apathy toward government-sponsored activities, which reflects a lack of openness to social engagement.

Marriage without the consent of one parent is a complex phenomenon in Islamic family law, raising a variety of legal, social, and cultural questions. In this context, the role of the guardian as a determinant of marriage consent is crucial, because the guardian is responsible not only to protect the interests of the bride-to-be, but also to ensure the validity of the marriage law. However, in practice, there are variations in interpretation among Islamic schools regarding the necessity of guardian consent, creating challenges in the consistency of universal application of Islamic family law. The issue also highlights the conflict between the individual's right to choose his or her own life partner and the social and traditional expectations that require parental consent. This study aims to investigate the legal, social, and psychological implications of marriage without the consent of one parent in the context of Islamic family law, as well as to explore the role of religious courts in resolving disputes that arise.

This study aims to analyze the influence of maqashid sharia objective factors on the income and expenditure of Indonesian people, using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) approach analysis. The sample of this study consisted of Indonesian people who are Muslim, including those of productive age and have income to analyze and identify the relationship between maqashid sharia factors both in income and in their respective expenses. The results of the study indicate that maintaining religion (Al-din) has a positive and significant impact on both income and expenditure. Meanwhile, maintaining property (Al-mal) has been shown to have a substantial effect on income, but not on expenditure. Maintaining reason (Al-aql) also shows a significant impact on income, but not on expenditure. On the other hand, maintaining descendants (An-nasl) does not show a substantial effect on finances, either in terms of income or expenditure. Maintaining the soul (An-nafs) has a significant effect on expenditure, but not on income. Overall, this study found that income has a significant influence on expenditure, indicating that effective income management is very important in the financial management of Muslim individuals in Indonesia

The interpretation of the Al-Quran cannot be separated from the series of links in the chain of interpretive narrations, as well as its maintenance from the Prophet's time until now. The Tabi'in Interpretation Period cannot be separated from the series of Interpretation journeys, the style of Tafsir at this time was motivated by the expansion of Islamic territory so that ulama at this time also spread to madrasas such as Mecca, Medina and Iraq. In Mecca the Ulama who initiated it was Abdullah Ibn Abbas, followed by several famous students including Sa'ad bin Jubair, Mujahid bin Jubair, Ikrimah Maula Ibn Abas, Thawus bin Kisan, and Atha'bin Abi Rabah. At this time, many interpretations had a riwayah style, but several interpretations emerged with ra'yu.

Children as the nation's next generation have an important role in national development. However, children involved in crime are often overlooked in legal protection. This research aims to explore the synchronization of the rights of children who commit crimes in Indonesian positive law, as well as analyzing the application of legal provisions by law enforcement officials. The research method used is normative juridical with a descriptive approach, involving the analysis of secondary data from legislation and jurisprudence. The results showed that there was a lack of conformity in the legal protection of child offenders, as well as the need for harmonization of regulations to ensure that children's rights were met. The recommendations of this study are the need for awareness-raising and more effective implementation of legal protection for children, as well as strengthening the role of society and government in supporting optimal child development.

Economic stability is the main pillar in building a sakinah family. In this regard, economic stability in today's society is affected by online loans. The risks caused by online lending affect the psychological, social, and even emotional conditions in household life, and can further affect household harmony. This research will explore the form of online lending practices and analyze the impact of online lending on household harmony in West Lombok Regency. The research was conducted using a qualitative method. The results of the research found First: Layered Motivation signifies that Muslim families resort to online loans as a result of a mix of urgent circumstances, economic strain, insufficient literacy, and restricted access to conventional banking. Second: Multidimensional Impact suggests that online loans not only harm the economy but also dismantle the social, psychological, and spiritual structures of Muslim families. Third: Destructive Cycle demonstrates that online loans establish a vicious cycle where financial remedies worsen issues and undermine family unity. Fourth: Crisis of Religious Identity emphasizes that engagement in usury generates spiritual discord and jeopardizes the passing down of Islamic values to subsequent generations. Fifth: Systemic Vulnerability indicates that rural populations are at risk of online loan exploitation due to inadequate digital financial literacy and limited availability of Sharia-compliant financial services.

The increase in divorce reflects changes in society, which no longer considers divorce to be taboo, but rather a common phenomenon. This study aims to identify the factors causing divorce in the Selong Religious Court from a gender perspective and to analyze divorce rulings in the Selong Religious Court from the perspective of mubadalah theory. This study is a field study using a case study and legal-empirical approach, with primary data collected from court decisions and interviews with judges, as well as secondary data from legal references. The results of the study reveal that the factors causing divorce at the Selong Religious Court are economic problems, domestic violence, alcohol or drug dependence, neglect of one party, and prolonged disputes. The rulings in these cases align with the theory of mubadalah, encompassing five mutually supportive pillars: establishing a strong agreement as a trust from God, upholding the principles of partnership and reciprocity, regularly consulting with one another, treating each other with kindness, and creating comfort in interacting with one another.

Islam is a perfect religion that governs all aspects of life, including choosing a spouse and determining the right time to marry. However, given the high divorce rate in Indonesia, particularly in Jember, as indicated by data from the Central Statistics Agency at the beginning of 2023, where 6,000 residents of Jember filed for divorce, this signifies the unpreparedness of married couples regarding their rights and obligations in fulfilling their duties. This situation serves as the basis for conducting pre-marriage counseling at SMK Tunas Bangsa regarding determining the appropriate time to marry. Pre-marriage counseling involves systematic guidance and support to help students understand the best time to start a family and build confidence in preparing systematically for marriage if they wish to proceed. This study was conducted using a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving a pretest, followed by counseling, and then a posttest. The results of the counseling showed an increase in students' knowledge regarding tips for finding the right partner for marriage according to Islamic perspectives.
