Abstract

This study examines Sayyid Muhammad ‘Alawi al-Maliki’s defense against Orientalist critiques of al-Muwattha’, authored by Imam Malik. These critiques primarily focus on the use of mursal (disconnected) hadiths, insufficient attention to the chain of transmission (sanad), and the perception that the book is more a work of jurisprudence than hadith. In his book “Imam Darul Hijrah: Malik Ibn Anas Radiyallahu ‘anhu”, Sayyid Muhammad argues that Imam Malik’s methodology was grounded in rigorous scholarly principles, characterized by high selectivity in assessing both the chain of transmission and the content of hadiths. He asserts that al-Muwattha’ not only reflects the excellence of Madinan traditions but also retains historical and methodological significance in the study of hadith and Islamic jurisprudence. This study employs a descriptive-analytical approach to explore Sayyid Muhammad’s arguments in response to Orientalist critiques, including the views of Carl Brockelmann and Fuat Sezgin, who regarded the book as lacking authority as a hadith reference. The findings reveal that al-Muwattha’ holds a pivotal position in the Islamic intellectual tradition, with its unique methodology integrating hadith and jurisprudence. By refuting Orientalist claims, this study reaffirms the validity of al-Muwattha’ as a primary reference in the study of hadith and Islamic law.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology must encourage the implementation of elections in Indonesia to be more efficient and effective. Funding, archiving, reporting, and socialization are aided by digital technology-based applications, which save time, money, and effort. In addition, digital technology makes it easier for people to participate and train voters. Social media and big data are also very important to disseminate information and increase election transparency and accountability. To avoid disinformation and improve political understanding, digital literacy is also needed. To increase voter participation and election quality, the 2024 simultaneous elections will use digital technology. Therefore, digital technology is expected to be an important advancement that will increase transparency, accountability, and sustainability of elections as well as increase public involvement in the democratic process. According to this study, digital technology plays an important role in the administration of elections, such as greater access to political information and social media as an effective tool for political communication. Therefore, it is hoped that the use of digital technology can increase voter participation and the level of democracy in Indonesia.

Abstract

The rapid development of the halal economy in recent decades demands support from a robust and sustainable Islamic financial system. Among the financing instruments that play a crucial role in supporting the sustainability of this ecosystem are the ijarah and Ijarah Muntahiyah Bittamlik (IMBT) contracts. Both contracts offer asset-based financing solutions free from usury, thus aligning with Islamic economic values. Through a gradual leasing and ownership scheme, ijarah and IMBT facilitate access for businesses, particularly halal MSMEs, to productive assets without requiring large upfront capital. This approach not only encourages real sector growth and business efficiency but also expands the reach of Islamic financial services in the community. This article aims to examine the contribution of ijarah and IMBT to halal economic growth, evaluate the challenges of their implementation, and propose sustainable optimization strategies.

Abstract

Fraud and corruption in the procurement of government goods and services remain major contributors to the level of corruption in Indonesia. Transparency and accountability are key principles in reducing fraud and corruption in the procurement process. The government currently mandates the implementation of e-purchasing for goods and services related to meeting national and/or strategic needs as determined by the minister, head of an agency, or regional head. In addition to increasing transparency and accountability, e-purchasing is expected to enhance efficiency and reduce transaction costs. However, in practice, the e-purchasing process has not yet been ideally implemented according to legal standards. Therefore, this research aims to examine the transaction process in e-purchasing from the perspective of fiqh muamalah and the issues surrounding the implementation of e-purchasing. This research is aimed at assessing and finding common ground between the e-purchasing mechanism for government procurement of goods and services and the principles of fiqh muamalah. This research is a literature study with a qualitative approach, in which the researcher gathers various information regarding the electronic procurement of government goods and services, then aligns it with the concepts in fiqh muamalah. The transaction mechanism in e-purchasing resembles that of online buying and selling, and its original ruling is permissible (mubah) as long as it does not violate Islamic law. Generally, the contracts used in these transactions are the bai' salam and ijarah contracts.
