Abstract

This article discusses Islamic civilians' struggles in gaining recognition of ‘positivization’ of Zakat Law No. 38/1999 and analyzes dynamics of relations between religion and the state in Indonesia. A period of democratic transition from Suharto to B.J. Habibie (Reform era 1998) marked an entry point for a new phase of state juridical recognition to Islamic law. In this paper, the dynamics of political recognition of zakat law are elucidated from a historical-critical analysis. The findings are twofold. Firstly, the zakat law was enacted during B.J. Habibie’s administration, where waves of democratization began. Secondly, the Islamic civilians played an important role in institutionalizing zakat and providing political support for the Ministry of Religion's efforts in proposing Zakat Management Bill (RUUPZ) to the House of Representatives. The state acknowledged multicultural society by adopting their living religious law whose application does not threaten the nation's unity.

Abstract

This study examines Tājuddīn al-Subkī’s concept of ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ, as an essential part of maqāṣīd al-sharī’a, and uses it to analyze hoax news. To limit this study, the authors focuse on two crucial aspects. First, what is the concept of ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ according to Imam Tājuddīn al-Subkī? Second, how to contextualize ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ in the contemporary time to approach hoax news? This library research uses content and critical analysis to Tājuddīn al-Subkī’s thoughts, which are contained the works written by himself and those written by scholars after him. This study argues that al-Subkī initiated the concept of ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ (maintaining honor). As an essential part of maqāṣīd al-sharī’a, ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ must be held in addition to five other main purposes, namely maintaining the soul, religion, reason, lineage, and treasure. According to al-Subkī, defending honor can be equated with keeping the lineage because the two have a close and robust relationship, especially when discussing adultery and qadhf/قذف (accusing people of committing adultery). The spread of hoaxes today is like qadhf in Islamic law. The hoax spread must be stopped because it causes damage to the life of society, nation, and state. Preventing injury and realizing benefits are at the core of maqāṣīd al-sharī’a.

Abstract

During its brief 22-month administration (May 2018 – February 2020), Malaysia’s Pakatan Harapan government put forward the idea of Maqāṣīd al-Sharī’a or higher objectives of Islamic law as one of the precepts governing its Islamic agenda. While such an approach has demonstrated streaks of viability in extricating Islam from overly legalistic mores, it is epistemologically undetached from the sharia-centric paradigm that has dominated the post-colonial Muslim intellectual make-up. This article argues that proponents of Maqāṣīd al-Sharī’a in Malaysia might have overlooked the more urgent need for a morally based framework that evaluates human action not on the extent to which humans observe external law but rather on how sensitively humans connect with God in the event of legal injunctions being adhered to, ignored or transgressed. What is needed in Malaysia in addition to Maqāṣīd al-Sharī’a is Maqāṣīd al-Akhlāq, whose origins are rooted in the Islamic spiritual tradition of taṣawwuf or sufism.

Abstract

This article examines the local government and state representation in response to religious violence against Shi’a minority groups. Intensive scholarly debates on this issue have ignited, especially on what made the government showed an exclusive response to religious violence. Scholars have argued that state agencies commonly tend to take a safe position though no contradictory policies that please conservative groups. This research was conducted through six-month fieldwork in Bondowoso regency, East Java province, in 2017 and 2018. The data was collected through ethnography and in-depth interviews with relevant sources. In this study, I argue that not all government agencies respond exclusively to violence against minority communities. Through a case study on Sunni-Shi'a tension in Bondowoso, East Java, this study reveals that the local government showed inclusive attitudes to protect the rights of Shi'a adherents to practice their faiths. Such responses are aimed to maintain well-developed plurality, harmony, and civil rights for minority citizens of Bondowoso. This study confirms that inclusive local state officials become the critical factor to the sustainability of human rights, religious freedom for the minority and democratization.

Abstract

Maqāṣid sharīʿa is considered as a theory that can be applied to analyze the objectives of Islamic law. One of the developments of Islamic law in Indonesia, and in the Muslim world in general, is concerned with religious courts’ decision made by judges. This study analyzes court decisions from the maqāṣid sharīʿa perspective. This qualitative study focused on the divorce cases from the religious court of Salatiga district, Central Java. Twenty percent of the cases in 2017 were proportionally selected. This study shows that there were various reasons of divorce, ranging from constant quarrels to spousal negligence. The other reason was conversion, where one couple left Islam. The court decisions on those divorce cases suggest that the judges attempt to uphold the principles of maqāṣid sharīʿa, such as the preservation of life, descendant, asset and religion. Depending on the respective case, the judges may grant the petition if it will give a greater benefit to the parties concerned that does not contrary to the maqāṣid sharīʿa.

Abstract

The state has given de-jure recognition of the Council of Indonesian Ulama's (MUI) authority in establishing sharīʿa principles for the running of Islamic financial service in Indonesia. Given this extensive design, does MUI then expand this authority into other Islamic law fields, and if so, why and how MUI does that. This paper aims to examine MUI's policy to bureaucratize fatwā by making its Fatwa Commission the single institution, administratively and substantively, for fatwā production in Indonesia. It considers this issue in light of secondary data gathered through the documentation of Ijtima Ulama resolutions. It examines their inclusion or exclusion into the MUI's official fatwā compilation employing both normative-doctrinal and socio-legal analysis. As its formal role in the state system for the administration of Islamic legal traditions has been acknowledged, MUI continues expanding its authority by enabling its Fatwa Commission like a legislature, which will further review the Ijtima Ulama resolutions before promulgating them as a fatwā. Therefore, some of the resolutions that do not pass the review cannot/are not promulgated as a fatwā. MUI adopts this measure to increase the efficacy of its fatāwā by polishing the collective ijtihād resolutions of Ijtima Ulama which are assumed to represent all ulama in Indonesia.

Abstract

Presenting the emergence and development of ijmāʿ, this paper aims to epistemologically critique the articulation of ijmāʿ in modern Western scholarship on Islam. The article argues that to understand ijmāʿ, we need to explore its social context, theological foundations, and practical consequences. A tolerance of the difficulty in identifying truth, an understanding of the law as being built on uncertainty, and employing jamʿ, as an assemblage are essential dynamics in the formation of the law and Muslim societies. The corpus of classical literature on ijmāʿ is expectedly contradictory, and full of gaps. Rather than seeing this as problematic, the article recognizes it as normative. Against the argument that ijmāʿ was the “foundation of foundations,” or that it was a well-defined concept that gained political power against adversaries, the article argues that in practice ijmāʿ remained marginal, and confined to the minimum necessary for each individual to be a member in the Muslim community.

Abstract

This article examines the issue of woman-initiated divorce (cerai gugat) for the controversial reason in Indonesian Islam known as nushūz suami or a husband’s disobedience in marriage. In contrast to the Indonesian Compilation of Islamic Law which applies nushūz (disobedience) to wives only, our arguments draw on feminist jurisprudence (fiqh) to show how nushūz also applies to husbands who do not fulfill marital obligations. A husband’s nushūz is overlooked by classical scholars and Indonesian Islamic Law alike, yet when understood in a Qur’anic feminist context, it gives a depth of understanding about women’s choice to divorce as part of a wider gender justice process and the ‘gendering’ of divorce. Based on women’s post-divorce narratives about nushūz, we propose a feminist fiqh understanding of gender equality situated in tawḥīd as a concept with the potential to form egalitarian-inspired persons (muslimah reformis) and ‘essential’ and ‘true’ justice (keadilan hakiki), through reading religious texts and producing knowledge and policies that include women’s experiences and voices along with those of men’s (mubādalah).
