Abstract

The organisation of Umrah pilgrimages in Indonesia in recent years has shown a significant increase in the number of female pilgrims compared to male pilgrims. This situation has created specific needs in terms of religious guidance, particularly with regard to the biological, psychological and social aspects experienced by female pilgrims. However, the reality on the ground shows that the number of female religious guides is still limited and their role has not yet been fully recognised structurally within the Hajj and Umrah management system. This study aims to analyse the role of women as umrah pilgrimage guides (muthowwifah) and examine the challenges and opportunities from a gender perspective in hajj and umrah management. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data was collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation of muthowwifah and female pilgrims who received direct guidance. The organisation of Umrah pilgrimages in Indonesia in recent years has shown a significant increase in the number of female pilgrims compared to male pilgrims. The results of the study show that: (1) muthowwifah play a strategic role, not only in providing technical guidance on worship, but also in providing moral support, motivation, and assistance with issues specific to women's worship, such as menstrual management during Umrah; and (2) muthowwifah face a number of challenges, including strong gender stereotypes, limited access to professional training and certification, and the lack of formal recognition of the profession. This study recommends strengthening affirmative policies through continuous training, professional certification, and the integration of a gender perspective in hajj and umrah management. The novelty of this study lies in its affirmation of the role of women as strategic actors in hajj and umrah management oriented towards gender justice.

Abstract

The debate regarding gender justice in inheproporitance law arises from differing concepts, namely proportional distribution (2:1) as applied by some laws, while other laws adhere to the principle of equality (1:1). This study aims to analyze both concepts from the perspective of gender justice, while assessing their relevance in the modern social context. The method used is a literature study with a normative-comparative approach, which compares provisions from various legal systems, such as Islamic law, civil law, customary law, and court decisions, and analyzes them through the theory of gender justice and the maqāṣid al-syarī'ah framework. The results of the study show that both concepts have their own contextual justice. Proportionality is more appropriate when the responsibility for maintenance is entirely borne by men, while equality is more appropriate in situations where men and women both play a role in the family economy. This study confirms that gender justice in inheritance law cannot be understood absolutely, but must be viewed relatively in accordance with social realities and the configuration of roles within the family. The impact of this study is to provide a more neutral and comprehensive insight for the development of inheritance law studies within the framework of gender justice.

Abstract

The hadith narrated by Abu Bakrah, which states that “a nation that entrusts its affairs to a woman will never prosper,” has long been interpreted as a theological prohibition against women’s leadership in Islam. This interpretation persists despite significant changes in social structures and the increasing visibility of women in strategic leadership positions. This study seeks to reassess the normative status of this hadith by examining whether it represents a timeless religious injunction or a context-specific statement. Drawing on Fazlur Rahman’s double movement hermeneutics, the research employs a two-tiered analytical approach. The first movement situates the hadith within its socio-political context, particularly in relation to the aftermath of the Battle of the Camel and the decline of the Persian Empire. The second movement extracts the ethical values embedded in the hadith and reinterprets them in light of contemporary realities, emphasizing the principles of justice, merit, and public accountability. The findings indicate that the hadith was primarily a situational response to political instability rather than a categorical rejection of female leadership. Literalist interpretations tend to obscure the ethical intent of prophetic traditions and reinforce patriarchal biases that are inconsistent with the Qur’anic vision of justice and equality. This study concludes that a contextual and ethical reinterpretation of the hadith aligns more closely with Islamic moral philosophy and fosters a more inclusive theological discourse that recognizes and affirms the leadership potential of women in modern Muslim societies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the patterns of silencing and the impacts of revenge porn, as well as why victims of revenge porn choose to remain silent. This research employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, conducted in Banjarmasin City. Data collection techniques included interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis followed Moustakas' phenomenological analysis technique, consisting of epoche, phenomenological reduction, imaginative variation, and synthesis of meanings. The subjects of this study comprised five individuals selected through purposive sampling based on several criteria: female, aged 18–25 years, having experienced revenge porn, and residing in Banjarmasin City. The findings reveal that the silencing experiences of revenge porn victims involve threats, blackmail, and the dissemination of pornographic content. Additionally, the impacts felt by victims include trauma and depression. The reasons victims choose to remain silent are fear of disclosing their experiences and low self-esteem. Social support for victims emerges as a crucial factor in helping them recover from distress.
