Abstract

The structure of customary law societies is a fundamental element in the traditional social system that governs the lives of local communities in Indonesia. This research aims to analyze how the structure undergoes transformation due to internal dynamics as well as external pressures derived from the penetration of state laws, development programs, globalization, and economic investment. This research is normative research using a literature study and document analysis approach. The data collected on indigenous peoples in Indonesia are analyzed deductively with Islamic legal theory. This study found that the structure of indigenous peoples is not static but adaptive, undergoing complex changes. External intervention often weakens indigenous authorities, causes agrarian conflicts, and triggers disharmony between traditional values and the demands of modernity. However, indigenous peoples also show resilience through institutional revitalization, strengthening cultural identity, and efforts to gain legal recognition. From the perspective of Islamic law, customs that do not contradict the sharia are legitimate under the principles of 'urf and the rules of al-'ādah muḥakkamah. The analysis of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah shows that the protection of property, the soul, the intellect, and descendants must serve as the basis for assessing changes in the customary structure. Therefore, harmonization between customary law, Islamic law, and national law is essential to realize an inclusive and equitable legal system.

Abstract

This paper discusses the thoughts of Najm al-Din al-Tufi (1277–1316 AD), a Hanbali scholar who was known to be radical in carrying out the concept of maṣlaḥah. This research is a normative and textual approach. Data collection is carried out through literature review, and it was analyzed descriptively.  This article finds that al-Tufi places maṣlaḥah as the main postulate in the determination of the law, even in certain cases it can surpass nas and ijma'. This thought departs from his commentary on the hadis lā ḍarar wa lā ḍirār, which, according to him, affirms the principle of the elimination of harm and the maintenance of benefits. He defines maṣlaḥah broadly, dividing it into two domains: worship and muqaddarāt, which are subject to nas, and mu'āmalāt, which is entirely subject to human welfare. Within this framework, al-Tufi developed the methods of tarjīḥ and bayān to resolve the contradiction in the postulate by prioritizing maṣlaḥah. His thoughts sparked controversy; some scholars accuse him of ignoring the authority of the text, while modern thinkers see it as a progressive bid to renew Islamic law. Although limited only to the realm of mu'āmalāt, the idea of al-Tufi is still relevant in responding to contemporary legal problems that are not explicitly accommodated in nas or ijma'.
