Abstract

This research is motivated by the increasing environmental degradation as a systemic crime and the weak enforcement of environmental law in Indonesia, which remains legal-formal without ethical and moral approaches. The aim of this study is to construct green crime as a delict in Islamic criminal law and to assess its relevance to national environmental law. This research employs a library research method with a normative-conceptual approach, analyzing data from the Qur'an, hadith, fiqh jinayah, maqāṣid al-shariah, and modern criminology literature. The main findings indicate that green crime can be constructed through the expansion of the meaning of fasād fi al-arḍ and the reinterpretation of the elements of jarīmah (actus reus and mens rea) to include systemic ecological damage. This concept is reinforced by maqāṣid al-shariah, particularly the protection of life, property, lineage, and the environment (ḥifẓ al-bi'ah). This research contributes to expanding contemporary fiqh jinayah and offers the integration of Islamic values into Indonesian environmental legal policies toward greater ecological justice.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of the ultimum remedium principle in tax crimes and its relevance in establishing legal certainty in Indonesia. The main focus of the research is directed toward the juridical position of this principle, the normative and practical obstacles in its implementation, and the need for reformulation of tax law policies. This research employs a normative legal method with a qualitative approach through the statute approach, conceptual approach, and case approach. Data sources were obtained from statutory regulations, court decisions, scholarly literature, and official documents, which were analyzed descriptively using systematic, historical, and teleological interpretation. The findings reveal that the ultimum remedium principle has not been optimally implemented due to the absence of explicit regulations prioritizing administrative sanctions before the use of criminal law. This condition creates ambiguity in distinguishing administrative violations from tax crimes, disparities in law enforcement, and weak protection of taxpayers’ rights. The study recommends regulatory harmonization, the formulation of national operational guidelines, and stronger coordination among law enforcement institutions to ensure that criminal law is genuinely applied as a last resort in a proportional and just manner.

Abstract

Personal data leakage of debtors in online loan transactions in Indonesia has become a structured crime with systemic impacts on privacy rights and consumer protection. Although Indonesia has Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection, Law No. 19 of 2016 on ITE, and OJK regulations, the gap between legal norms and law enforcement practices remains very wide. This study aims to critically examine the construction of criminal liability against perpetrators of debtor personal data leakage and formulate a firm and applicable enforcement model. The method used is normative legal research with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The findings reveal that the weakness of criminal enforcement is caused by three main challenges weak coordination between law enforcement agencies and OJK, difficulty in proving mens rea due to limited digital evidence, and regulatory overlap between the PDP Law and the ITE Law. This study concludes that a complete construction of criminal liability requires identification of four categories of perpetrators (corporations, directors, internal employees, debt collectors), evidentiary standards distinguishing intent from negligence, and sanctions combining repressive and restorative elements in the form of quick compensation to victims.

Abstract

This study analyzes the neglect of maintenance as a criminal offense from the perspectives of Islamic law and Indonesian positive law using a maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah approach. The main issue lies in how neglect of maintenance is positioned as a legal violation affecting the protection of family members’ rights, particularly women and children. This research employs a library-based method with a qualitative approach through normative and conceptual analysis of legal regulations and Islamic legal literature. The findings reveal that neglect of maintenance is not only a violation of family obligations but can also be classified as a form of economic domestic violence with criminal consequences. From the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah perspective, such actions contradict the fundamental objectives of Islamic law, especially in protecting life, lineage, and property. Therefore, the criminalization of maintenance neglect is relevant in promoting justice and victim protection. This study highlights the importance of integrating criminal law, restorative approaches, and Islamic values to establish a more just and welfare-oriented legal system.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the juridical qualification of the genocide against the Kurdish ethnic group in Iraq from the perspective of International Criminal Law, examine the concept of criminal responsibility for genocide within Islamic Criminal Law, and formulate a model for prosecuting genocide perpetrators through the integration of these two legal systems. This research employs a qualitative library research method with a normative legal approach. Primary sources include the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948), the Rome Statute (1998), the Qur’an, Hadith, and other relevant legal literature. The data were analyzed using content analysis and comparative analysis methods. The findings reveal that the actions of Saddam Hussein’s regime against the Kurdish population through the Anfal Campaign and the Halabja chemical attack fulfill the legal elements of genocide under International Criminal Law, particularly the requirements of actus reus and dolus specialis. From the perspective of Islamic Criminal Law, these acts constitute a grave jarimah that violates the principles of hifz al-nafs, al-'adl, the prohibition of zulm, and the objectives of maqasid al-shari'ah.

Abstract

The settlement of mobbing offenses through Gayo customary law in Gampong Padang Terangun, Gayo Lues Regency, has prioritized deliberation and Denne sanctions in the form of compensation of IDR 100,000 per perpetrator. This value is considered too low and disproportionate to the victim's suffering. This study asks whether the Denne sanction aligns with the principle of proportional justice in Islamic criminal law, particularly the concepts of diyat, arsy, dhaman, and the principle of isytirak fil jinayah. This research employs field research with a descriptive qualitative approach, drawing from interviews with Gecik, customary leaders, witnesses, and perpetrators of mobbing during June-July 2025, supported by scientific journals and relevant regulations. The findings show that the procedural mechanism of Gayo customary deliberation aligns with the principle of sulh in Islam, but the Denne sanction substantively fails to meet economic justice standards due to the absence of fixed benchmarks and its overly symbolic value. This study concludes that harmonization between Gayo customary law and the provisions of fiqh jinayah is necessary, particularly in determining the amount of compensation based on the type of injury suffered by the victim.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the regulation of adultery as a complaint-based offence under Indonesian criminal law and to compare it with the concept of jarīmah hudūd in Fiqh Jinayah, with particular reference to Article 284 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana/KUHP) and its reformulation under Article 411 of Law Number 1 of 2023. This research employs a qualitative library research design using a normative legal approach through the statute approach, conceptual approach, and comparative approach. Primary legal materials consist of statutory regulations, the Qur'an, Hadith, and ijmā', while secondary legal materials include scholarly books and peer-reviewed journal articles. The collected data were analysed using descriptive-analytical methods supported by content analysis. The findings reveal that Indonesian criminal law classifies adultery as a complaint-based offence aimed at safeguarding marital institutions and individual privacy, whereas Fiqh Jinayah categorises adultery as a jarīmah hudūd intended to preserve the objectives of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah through stringent evidentiary requirements. These normative differences substantially influence law enforcement mechanisms, evidentiary standards, sentencing philosophy, and the future direction of Indonesian criminal law reform in balancing legal certainty, human rights protection, and Islamic legal values.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the criminal offense of abuse of authority committed by district court personnel and to analyze the framework of criminal liability within the Indonesian legal system. The research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. Data were collected through library research, including legislation, court decisions, scholarly books, and peer-reviewed journal articles, and were analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method supported by legal interpretation and deductive reasoning. The findings reveal that abuse of authority within the judiciary is not limited to judges but may also be committed by court clerks, bailiffs, and other court personnel exercising judicial functions. Such conduct may constitute a criminal offense when it satisfies the legal elements prescribed by criminal law and therefore should not be addressed solely through ethical or administrative sanctions. The study highlights the need for an integrated framework of criminal accountability and judicial oversight to strengthen integrity, accountability, and legal certainty within Indonesia’s judicial system.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal construction of aurat within the perspective of Shafi‘i fiqh and its relevance to the implementation of Qanun Aceh Number 6 of 2014 on Jinayat Law in the enforcement of Islamic law in Aceh. This research is categorized as field research employing a qualitative approach and a socio-juridical method. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with religious scholars, Wilayatul Hisbah officers, sports coaches, Muslim athletes, and members of the public in North Aceh, East Aceh, and Langsa City. Secondary data were derived from Shafi‘i fiqh literature, sharia regulations, scholarly journals, and relevant legal documents. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically through data reduction, categorization, and triangulation of normative and empirical findings. The study reveals that the implementation of aurat regulations in Aceh has shifted from an ethical-religious norm into an instrument of public moral control exercised by the state. The enforcement of sharia demonstrates tensions between Shafi‘i fiqh doctrines, state interpretation, and the social realities of contemporary Acehnese society. The enforcement practices tend to be symbolic and repressive, generating issues related to social legitimacy, gender relations, and the limits of state authority within the public sphere of Muslim society in Aceh.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the dynamics of religious blasphemy committed by content creators in Indonesia, examine the enforcement of sanctions against offenders within the national legal system, and assess the relevance of Islamic criminal law in responding to such offenses in the digital era. This research is a library study employing a qualitative approach and a normative legal method through statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The findings indicate that religious blasphemy committed by content creators represents a transformation of religious offenses within the digital media ecosystem, characterized by the use of religious symbols, doctrines, and attributes as content designed to attract public attention within the attention economy. The enforcement of legal sanctions against offenders is supported by a robust legal framework, including Law No. 1/PNPS of 1965, Article 156a of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), Articles 300–305 of the New Criminal Code, and Article 28(2) in conjunction with Article 45A(2) of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law). Nevertheless, law enforcement continues to face significant challenges, including varying interpretations of the elements constituting religious blasphemy, the complexity of digital evidence, and the need to maintain a balance between the protection of religion and the right to freedom of expression.
