Abstract

Tepuk Tepung Tawar is a ritual in the Malay wedding ceremony, especially in Kampung Melayu of Kota Tanjungpinang Subdistrict. This tradition is also carried out for children who have completed their Qur’an recitation, with prayers for their safety, well-being, and protection from hardship in life. This present study used a sociological method, in which data were analyzed by using the theory of ‘urf (social custom) in Islamic law. Data were collected by means of interview and document study. This study revealed that historically, the tepung tawarceremony for newlyweds would be carried out alternately for each, considering that they have not yet had mahar batih (not yet consummated), while the tepung tawar ceremony for both would be carried out for longtime married couples. The Malay people are very strong in observing their customs and traditions; even giving rise to the Malay proverb “biar mati anak dari pada mati adat”, better for a child to die than for a custom to die. This proverb illustrates how deeply the Malay people are in upholding the customs and traditions of their ancestors. Theoretically, there is also harmony between Islamic law and ‘urf or social custom in Malay weddings.

However, along the way, there are often various problems that in some cases lead to divorce or separation. Divorce occurs due to various problems in the marriage, causing trauma, depression, loss of optimism in life and so on. The various negative impacts of divorce must certainly be faced in various ways so that the person concerned can rise from all the lags to continue to realize various plans and targets in his life. This research uses empirical legal methods using Islamic legal approaches as an analytical tool. Data were collected using in-depth interviews and documentation studies, interviews with informants of divorced parties both husband and wife.

Abstract

The current study examined the challenges of women living under Lampung’s highly stringent customary law pertaining to the acquisition of home ownership rights in 3 villages in Hulu Sungkai, North Lampung, Indonesia. In Lampung customary law, the home is conferred to the male descendant. This study employed the constructivist perspective and used data collected from field observations, interviews, document analyses, and literature reviews to address the practices of traditional power among Lampung women. The research results indicate that the construct of customary law has positioned women and men differently, subsequently leading to unequal treatment of women in the family. Patriarchy’s dominance in Lampung customary law has made life more difficult for women, who are already responsible for housekeeping and enriching education. Still, customary practices provide them no opportunity of any kind, and this has negative consequences. Women are highly dependent on men, and women frequently become victims of domestic violence. The construct of Lampung customs has established how women are treated in society. Lampung’s customary construct needs to be counterbalanced by a better public understanding of property ownership laws so that people have more gender awareness regarding home ownership.

Abstract

In the city of Banda Aceh, Indonesia, divorce is permissible in some circumstances including physical infirmities, such as when a husband experiences an erectile dysfunction. Under the Islamic law, divorce is permissible and the woman has the right to initiate divorce proceedings and pursue legal action. This study aims to examine the perspectives of judges at the Banda Aceh Syari'iyah Court regarding divorce cases involving individuals with physical disabilities. This study scrutinizes the practical legal methods employed by analyzing them from the perspective of the Islamic family law principles. This article analyzes the practical legal methods employed by studying the perspectives of the Islamic family law. Conversely, the process of collecting data entails scrutinizing documents, such as legal judgments, pertinent literature, and scholarly papers. According to Hanafi and Malikischolars, divorce due to physical inability is classified as talak ba'in, as determined by this study. Conversely, the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools are seen solely as a means to breach the sacrificial pact (fasakh). If this divorce is determined to be valid, the husband will have two opportunities to legally execute the divorce in order to remarry this woman. According to this, the Banda Aceh Sharia Court concluded that a husband's inability to perform sexually might be considered a valid reason for his inability to fulfill his responsibilities. Testimony from witnesses confirmed this, providing evidence that the legal proceedings adhered to Islamic law. Consequently, this study concludes that divorce occurs when a husband's physical impairment hinders his ability to fulfill his obligations, leading to the breakdown of the marriage. However, the Sharia Court provides a remedy (dispensation) to address the medical condition (impotence) so that the judges might take it into account when seeking reconciliation between the two parties, if the condition is resolved.

Abstract

The Waqf Law mandates that waqf management is expected to sustain and improve the ummah's economy, but many waqf practices are not carried out according to procedures, such as changing Nazirs without coordinating with the Indonesian Waqf Board, which is done by many Kyai in Bangkalan Regency. Waqf Core Principles is an initiative effort that aims to provide a description of the position and role of waqf management and supervision systems in economic development programs and as a methodology on the core principles of management and supervision. This research uses a qualitative approach. Data were obtained from waqf managers in Islamic boarding schools in Bangkalan Regency, targeting effective waqf management in Waqf Core Principals, using componential analysis with Atlas.ti. The research findings show that the practice of waqf in Islamic boarding schools in Bangkalan Regency is more of a formal practice as a requirement for obtaining assistance and the like, including the waqf management structure revolving around close family circles, while in terms of supervision, the government is passive in waiting if there are problems and adjusting the budget in socialization and supervision activities. Building awareness of the utilization of waqf assets can be done through structured counseling through existing instructors in each sub-district by building synergies with pesantren, as educational, religious and social institutions that are trusted to be at the forefront and pilot of waqf development.

Abstract

Most Islamic countries do not implement laws related to matrimonial property (harta sepencarian). This is due to the absence of specific provisions in the Quran and hadith that permit such practices. However, Malaysia has long practiced this and has a comprehensive legal framework concerning matrimonial property. Given this, is the practice in Malaysia truly in line with the teachings of the Quran and hadith? Therefore, this study aims to revisit the foundations of Islamic law regarding the implementation of matrimonial property laws. This research adopts Islamic normative legal research based on the principles of usul al-fiqh. This study reveals that the legal foundations cited by proponents of matrimonial property implementation, which include 'urf, syirkah, istishab and maslahat mursalah are inaccurate and do not align with the principles of usul al-fiqh. Thus, a new principle or legal basis is needed to legitimize Islamic matrimonial property distribution in Malaysia.

Abstract

Recently, being childfree has become a trend in modern Muslim society. Childfree is practiced not only by celebrities but also by common people in Indonesia, particularly in Lampung and West Java provinces. On the one hand, the decision to be childfree is an individual right of each family, but it is considered contrary to the goals of Islamic law, which are to preserve offspring. This study examines the childfree phenomenon in modern Muslim communities in Lampung and West Java through the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah. This research employed a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. The research suggested that modern Muslim communities in Lampung and West Java Provinces choose childfree for economic, mental, health, perspective, and environmental reasons. According to maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, being childfree contradicts Sharia's purpose of preserving offspring. Sharia promotes marriage and having healthy offspring. Meanwhile, Sharia cannot justify childfree due to lifestyle or economic factors. Specifically, a fear of not being able to provide for the child's future needs because Allah ensures livelihood for every servant who has faith and works diligently. At the same time, being child-free due to health reasons is permissible.
