Abstract

The National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) plays a central role in shaping the principles of Islamic economic law in Indonesia through its fatwas. These fatwas serve as primary references in the practices of Islamic financial institutions. However, the legal status of DSN-MUI fatwas within national legislation remains a subject of debate, particularly regarding their binding authority. This article aims to analyze the position of DSN-MUI fatwas from the perspective of Islamic law and legislative theory within the national legal system. This study employs a qualitative method with a normative and literature-based approach, examining various legal regulations and legal theories. The findings indicate that in Islamic law, fatwas are not absolutely binding unless institutionalized by an official authority. In the national context, DSN-MUI fatwas attain functional binding power as they are used as references in regulatory frameworks by Bank Indonesia, the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and Islamic financial institutions. Although these fatwas do not possess formal legal authority within the hierarchy of national legislation, they have become part of the living law that is internalized in national economic legal practices. Therefore, normative reinforcement is needed through explicit recognition in sectoral regulations to prevent legal vacuums. This study recommends the codification of DSN-MUI fatwas into derivative regulations to enhance their juridical legitimacy in supporting a just and legally certain Islamic economic legal system.

Abstract

The Constitutional Court Decision Number 25/PUU-XIV/2016 has marked an important turning point in the enforcement of corruption law in Indonesia, especially in proving the element of state financial loss. Before this decision, the formal approach that emphasized procedural violations without the need to prove actual losses was still commonly used. However, after the decision, the legal interpretation shifted towards a material approach that required actual loss to prove corruption. This change has quite complex legal and practical consequences, ranging from increasing the burden of proof for public prosecutors, and dependence on the results of audits of state financial institutions to technical challenges in coordination between law enforcers. This study comprehensively examines the development of legal interpretation before and after the Constitutional Court decision, and its impact on the evidentiary process, and formulates strategic steps that can be taken to strengthen the effectiveness of corruption eradication while ensuring legal certainty for the parties.

Abstract

This study discusses the role and limitations of the Village Secretary’s authority in filling the vacancy of the Village Head position, which has become a crucial issue in village governance. Although the Village Secretary is the highest structural official after the Village Head, regulations governing the delegation of authority during a vacancy are still minimal and not explicit. The study uses a normative and empirical approach by analyzing laws and regulations as well as field practices in several villages. The results of the study indicate that the appointment of an Acting Village Head (Plt) by the regional government is the only legal mechanism that can provide full legitimacy to the authority of the Village Head. Delegating authority to the Village Secretary without an official legal basis risks triggering legal, administrative, and social conflicts, as well as potential legal liability. Therefore, clear regulations and firm procedures are needed, along with the development of village officials, to ensure that village governance continues to function effectively and accountably during the transition period of the Village Head position

Abstract

Law enforcement in corruption cases in Indonesia often faces challenges related to proving the element of state financial loss. One of the issues that arises is the authority of judges to independently determine the amount of state loss without relying on an official audit by state audit institutions such as the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK) or the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP). This study employs a normative juridical research method using a statute approach and an analytical approach to examine the legal basis, judicial practices, and implications of such authority. The findings indicate that although Article 183 of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) grants judges the authority to decide based on at least two valid pieces of evidence, the absence of an official audit can lead to legal uncertainty, the risk of judicial error, and violations of the defendant’s right to a fair trial. Therefore, harmonization between regulations and judicial practice is necessary to ensure legal certainty, protection of human rights, and the effectiveness of corruption eradication.

Abstract

In recent years, various events showing the existence of religious freedom have become a phenomenon. Violation of respect for the individual’s freedom to embrace and practice religious freedom has an impact on all aspects of life, including education, health, employment, and access to public services. As the national organizer, the government plays an important role in creating a favorable, safe and peaceful atmosphere for the people. The slogan of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika seems to be only utopian, which is reflected in the civil relations in the village of Batur, where occupations are multi-religious. But it is important to note that the term "villages of tolerance" is not only symbolic. Studies have shown that the rights stipulated by the constitution are mentioned as village tolerance rights, and the extent to which these rights are realized in the future should be fully supported by the local government and the village government. The research is qualitative, collecting primary data through interviews and secondary data through documents related to the problem. The result of this research is that the realization of the religious rights of Semarang Regent in Batur Village is not top-down (from the state to the citizens), it is precisely that the realization of religious rights in Batur Village is collectively discussed. The community’s own awareness and mutual encouragement to create a harmonious and coordinated shared life between one religion and another

Abstract

Gurabunga Village, located in Tidore District, Tidore Islands City, has a long history as part of the Tidore Sultanate and is an area with customary law communities that still preserve their traditions. This study aims to examine the process of changing the status of Gurabunga Village to a Customary Village, as well as its implications for the recognition and legal protection for the Gurabunga customary law community. The method used is empirical legal research with a sociolegal approach, collecting data through interviews, observations, and studies of related legal documents. The results of the study show that the Gurabunga community has appropriate characteristics to be recognized as a customary law community based on Permendagri No. 52 of 2014, with customary wealth in the form of customary land that is managed communally and protected by local customary law. The process of changing this status involves community initiatives through village deliberations, fulfillment of administrative requirements, and local government approval. Meanwhile, the biggest challenge in the implementation of legal protection of customary rights is the lack of understanding from local governments regarding the importance of recognizing the rights of customary law communities. Therefore, this study suggests the importance of strengthening regulations and empowering customary law communities through more inclusive policies. The recommendation of this study is to accelerate the recognition of indigenous peoples in Indonesia, by providing space for communities to fight for their indigenous rights within a national legal framework that is responsive and adaptive to local social and cultural needs

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of notaries in ensuring legal certainty and promoting fairness and transparency in consumer financing. Using a qualitative approach and analyzing several consumer financing cases, the study finds that notaries play a critical role in ensuring the validity and legal protection of the agreements made. The main challenge lies in balancing the interests of creditors and debtors while ensuring that all relevant information about the agreements is disclosed transparently. Regulations such as Law No. 30 of 2004 on the Notary Position and Law No. 2 of 2014 on Amendments to Law No. 30 of 2004 on the Notary Position provide the legal framework for notaries' authority and responsibilities in consumer financing, although there is still a gap in regulations specifically addressing the notary's role in such transactions. This study recommends updating regulations and enhancing notary professionalism to better address these challenges. While the role of notaries is crucial, significant challenges in maintaining fairness and transparency still need to be addressed for consumer financing to be carried out equitably and transparently.

Abstract

This article examines the harmonization between the mudharabah contract concept in fiqh muamalah and the mechanism for establishing Sharia Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) in Indonesia. The mudharabah contract, which bases business partnerships on a profit-sharing principle between the capital owner (shahibul maal) and the business manager (mudharib), is characterized by trust, fairness, and transparency. Meanwhile, a Sharia LLC is a modern legal entity governed by national statutory regulations, with a formal and structured legal framework. Using a normative-juridical approach and comparative analysis, this article explores the intersections and potential conflicts between these two systems and formulates an integrative model that allows for the substantive application of Sharia values embedded in mudharabah within the legal framework of an LLC. The findings reveal that the fundamental principles of mudharabah can be adopted in the design of institutional structures, governance, and decision-making mechanisms within a Sharia LLC, without violating positive law. These findings underscore the importance of reconstructing Islamic legal thought to be responsive to the dynamics of modern law and promote the development of Sharia business models that are legally recognized and aligned with the maqashid shariah.
