Abstract

This study investigates two primary issues: the causes of the misalignment of the qibla direction at the Omba Public Cemetery in Mamben Daya Village and the formulation of appropriate solutions to ensure that the qibla direction is determined in an orderly and precise manner under Islamic law. Employing field research with a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through structured measurements, direct field observations, and interviews with key informants. The findings indicate that local authorities lack sufficient knowledge of accurate techniques for determining the qibla direction for burials. Furthermore, the challenges identified can be addressed by implementing formal regulations established by the village government to enhance community awareness and ensure the accurate alignment of graves with the qibla direction.

Abstract

Violence against children in Islam is permissible if it does not exceed the limit. It is also only used as an educational effort, not to punish without reason. Because if children are left free without rules, it will have a bad impact on children. The objectives of this study are: To find out the basis of the judge’s consideration in the decision of case Number 243/Pid.Sus/2020/PN Idi; and to find out the crime of violence against children in the view of Islamic criminal law. The method used is a type of qualitative research with a case approach. The data collection techniques are interviews and documentation. While the first analysis examines and explains theories. Second, looking for answers to the main problem, and third, drawing conclusions that are the end of this research, from general to specific. The results of the research obtained are 1) The incriminating consideration is that the actions of NR’s sister are a very reprehensible, immoral act committed by parents against children, thus causing disability. The mitigating dispute is that NR’s sister has apologized and promised not to repeat her actions, so this decision is ultrapetita; court decisions in cases of violence against children need to consider aspects of Islamic law, national law, and child protection principles. The goal is to ensure justice for victims, prevent future violence, and strengthen the synergy between religious values and state law in protecting children as the next generation of the nation. 2) Islam itself is very clear and firmly prohibits acts of violence, especially against children. The Qur’an, hadith, and scholars also discuss acts of violence against children with various opinions with the same goal, namely, that educating children is the right of parents, with provisions that have been recommended without crossing the limit in terms of education. The state also regulates in terms of educating and nurturing children, namely in Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the selection of ‘uqubat ta’zir (discretionary punishments) in verdicts concerning jarimah (criminal acts) of sexual harassment and rape at the Mahkamah Syar’iyah Singkil during the period of 2021–2023, as well as to examine the judges' considerations through the lens of maqashid shariah (objectives of Islamic law). The study focuses on the implementation of the Supreme Court Circular (SEMA) and its alignment with maqashid shariah values in the determination of ‘uqubat ta’zir. This study uses a library research method to draw on primary data from Mahkamah Syar’iyah Singkil verdicts and interviews, alongside secondary data from regulations, qanun (regional Islamic laws), and relevant literature. The research adopts a normative juridical approach. The findings indicate that the panel of judges has implemented SEMA No. 10 of 2020 by imposing ‘uqubat ta’zir in the form of imprisonment. This implementation reflects a preventive effort against recidivism, a form of protection and recovery for victims, as well as a means of legal education (tadabbur) for society. Normatively, the judges' considerations align with the principles of maqashid shariah, particularly in the aspect of hifz al-nafs (protection of life). However, the application of hifz al-nasl (protection of lineage) and hifz al-mal (protection of property) has not been optimal, as no verdicts during the study period included restitution orders for the victims. Therefore, integrating restitution components into verdicts is crucial to strengthening the elements of public welfare (maslahah) and substantive justice within the jinayat judicial system.
The Distribution of Zakat Funds by Bayt al-Māl for Disaster Relief: A Review Based on the Principle Taṣarruf al-Imām ‘alā ar-Ra‘iyyah Manūṭun bi al-Maṣlaḥah Riski, Niara; Mawar, Sitti; Jalil, Husni A

Abstract

Disaster management is a key responsibility of the government, which must be carried out in a structured, coordinated, and professional manner to achieve public welfare. In Islam, zakat functions not only as an act of worship but also as a socio-economic instrument. It aims to reduce poverty and economic inequality, which, if left unaddressed, can undermine human dignity, security, and social well-being. Zakat promotes values such as equality, cooperation, and compassion, and its distribution is managed by authorized institutions, including Baitul Maal. This study examines the legal basis for the distribution of zakat funds for disaster relief, grounded in the Islamic legal principle Taṣarruf al-Imām ‘alā ar-Ra‘iyyah Manūṭun bi al-Maṣlaḥah, which means that a leader’s policies must prioritize the public interest (maṣlaḥah). Employing a normative legal method with a conceptual and literature-based approach, this research utilizes Islamic legal analysis grounded in the principles of fiqh and the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. The findings reveal that while the allocation of zakat for disaster response is not explicitly mentioned in Islamic scripture (naṣṣ shar‘ī), it is permissible under specific conditions. In times of disaster, it becomes the duty of the ruler to protect the people, both in their worldly and spiritual affairs. Based on this principle, allocating zakat for disaster relief is considered lawful in Islam, particularly when it serves the public good. Therefore, Baitul Maal’s role in channeling zakat for disaster management is consistent with Islamic law and reflects the broader objective of promoting societal welfare.

Abstract

The passage of Law Number 3 of 2024 concerning Villages extends the term of office of the Village Head to eight years, with a maximum of two terms. This is similar to the term limits during the New Order era. However, in practice, elections are often delayed, resulting in the regulations regarding the term of office not always being implemented on schedule. This research aims to analyze the changes in the Village Head’s term of office in Law Number 3 of 2024 from the perspective of siyāsah dustūriyyah. Using a normative-juridical approach, the study finds that the extension of the term to eight years reflects efforts to ensure the stability of village governance and promote public welfare. However, it also necessitates the establishment of effective oversight mechanisms to prevent abuse of power. The extended term is expected to provide sufficient time for Village Heads to optimize development and improve the quality of public services. Nevertheless, this change must be accompanied by strict supervision and evaluation mechanisms to safeguard against authoritarian tendencies. Philosophically, this amendment reflects the values of justice and popular sovereignty; sociologically, it promotes village empowerment; and juridically, it ensures legal certainty. In the framework of siyāsah dustūriyyah, the leadership of the Village Head is not merely administrative but also a moral and spiritual trust that must be exercised with justice and responsibility in accordance with Islamic principles. Leadership remains valid only as long as it is exercised fairly and rightly, and must be replaced if it deviates from these values. Ultimately, the change in the Village Head’s term of office aligns with the principles of democracy, Islamic values, and the need to establish effective and just village governance.

Abstract

The process of legislation on the Qanun by the Aceh People's Representative Council (DPRA) is a unique legal mechanism in the Indonesian government system, because it is closely related to the implementation of Islamic sharia in Aceh. This study aims to see the relevance of the Qanun legislation process in Aceh from the perspective of the concept of Islamic politics put forward by Imam Al-Mawardi, a classical Islamic thinker who discusses a lot of Islamic government theory and law. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis methods and literature studies on Al-Mawardi's thoughts in the book Al-Ahkam As-Sultaniyyah. The results of the study show that in the Qanun legislation process, the DPRA plays a role as a legislative body that has the authority to formulate regional regulations based on Islamic law. However, in practice, there are still challenges such as local political dynamics, the interests of various actors, and synchronization with national law. So, how does the DPRA use the concept of Islam in the Qanonic legislation process? And in the legislative process, the DPRA prioritizes certain political interests over the interests of the people? Al-Mawardi's perspective provides insight that good legislation must pay attention to the balance between Islamic law and the benefit of the ummah, and avoid political interests that can hinder the ideal implementation of sharia. Thus, this research contributes to the understanding of the Qanun legislation process from an Islamic political perspective and offers recommendations so that the DPRA can carry out its duties more optimally following the principles of ideal Islamic governance according to Al-Mawardi.
Judicial Authority and Term Extension: A Sulṭah al-Qaḍā’iyyah Perspective on Constitutional Court Decision No. 112/PUU-XX/2022 Marhalim, M; Siregar, Rahmad Efendi Amin; Reza, T. Surya

Abstract

Constitutional Court Decision No. 112/PUU-XX/2022, which extended the term of office of the Head of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) from four to five years, has sparked public debate. On the one hand, the longer term is viewed as a means to ensure the effectiveness and continuity of anti-corruption efforts. On the other hand, many parties argue that this change opens the door to political interference, potentially compromising the independence of the institution and raising concerns regarding the principle of checks and balances. This research aims to analyze the decision from the perspective of Sulṭah al-Qaḍā’iyyah, the concept of judicial authority in Islamic law, which is grounded in the principles of justice (al-‘adālah), deliberation (shūrā), and public interest (al-maṣlaḥah al-‘āmmah). The study employs a normative juridical approach and qualitative methodology based on a literature review. The findings suggest that Constitutional Court Decision No. 112/PUU-XX/2022 has exceeded the Court’s role as a negative legislator, as it is seen to have created a new legal norm without following the formal legislative process. Although the decision is justified by the argument that a five-year term is needed to strengthen the independence, effectiveness, and stability of KPK leadership, from the perspective of Islamic law, such action may be ethically and substantively flawed if it disregards public participation and leads to social unrest. Therefore, this decision should be reconsidered not only from a constitutional standpoint but also in light of the substantive values of justice within the framework of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah.
A Siyāsah Qaḍā’iyyah Perspective on the Implementation of Article 67 of Qanun Aceh No. 6/2014 in the Mahkamah Syar‘iyyah of Banda Aceh Fanisa, Hilda; Yuhermansyah, Edi; Amri, Aulil

Abstract

Aceh, as a region with special autonomy to implement Islamic law, holds the authority to enforce jināyah (criminal) law, as stipulated in Qanun Aceh Number 6 of 2014 concerning Jināyah Law. Notably, Article 67 of the Qanun provides special treatment for children who commit jarīmah (criminal acts), including the limitation of ‘uqūbah (punishment) to a maximum of one-third of the adult sentence, and rehabilitative alternatives such as returning the child to their parents or placement in a rehabilitation institution. However, implementation in the Mahkamah Syar‘iyyah (Sharia Court) of Banda Aceh reveals inconsistencies in judicial decisions and a lack of standardized technical procedures, partly due to the absence of sufficient implementing regulations, as noted in paragraph (2) of the article. This study aims to evaluate the application of Article 67 by the Mahkamah Syar‘iyyah of Banda Aceh and assess its alignment with the principles of siyāsah qaḍā’iyyah (judicial policy). The research adopts a qualitative methodology using a normative juridical approach and case studies of two jināyah verdicts involving children from 2021 and 2022. The findings indicate that the court has made efforts to implement the article; however, the forms of ‘uqūbah applied vary, ranging from limited imprisonment to rehabilitation. This reflects a flexible implementation adapted to the social and psychological conditions of the child. While the decisions generally align with child protection principles, consistency remains a significant challenge. This study highlights Article 67 as a potential meeting point between Islamic law and the national juvenile justice system.
The Concept of Successor Heirs as a Contemporary Ijtihād in the Perspective of Ulama Dayah in Woyla District Muhammad Husnul; Djawas, Mursyid; Shabarullah, Shabarullah; Maghfirah, Maghfirah

Abstract

The Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), Article 185, in Indonesia recognizes the concept of a successor heir. In contrast, traditional fiqh holds that the right to inheritance is lost if the prospective heir dies before the decedent. Meanwhile, ulama dayah in Woyla District continue to adhere to classical fiqh texts and have not adopted the KHI’s provisions regarding successor heirs. This study aims to examine the views of ulama dayah in Woyla District on the concept of successor heirs and to analyze the concept from the perspective of Islamic law. The research employs a field study methodology with a juridical-normative-empirical approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed descriptively. The findings reveal that ulama dayah in Woyla District are unfamiliar with the concept of successor heirs as found in classical faraidh (Islamic inheritance law) literature. A paternal grandson may inherit in place of his deceased father if there are no other sons, whereas a maternal grandson cannot replace his deceased mother in the line of inheritance (patah titi). Furthermore, Islamic law, as reflected in the Qur’an, hadith, and sunnah, does not acknowledge the concept of successor heirs. In contrast, the Compilation of Islamic Law does recognize such a concept. These findings indicate a fundamental difference between the views of the ulama dayah in Woyla and the provisions of the KHI, particularly regarding the position of grandsons in inheritance matters.

Abstract

The case of khalwat or pairing between a man and a woman who are not mahram is one of the violations regulated in Qanun Aceh Number 6 of 2014 concerning the Law of Jinayat. However, in practice, the settlement of khalwat cases in Aceh is often resolved through customary channels, utilizing the penal mediation approach, in line with Aceh Qanun Number 9 of 2008, which concerns the Development of Customs and Traditions. This study aims to analyze how penal mediation is applied in the settlement of khalwat cases, as per customary law in Aceh, and the extent to which it contributes to creating restorative justice. The method used is a literature research with a juridical-normative and sociological approach to the literature and related laws and regulations. The results of the study show that penal mediation in the settlement of khalwat prioritizes social recovery, peaceful settlement, and family values rather than formal sanctions. However, this practice faces obstacles such as the absence of standard procedures and weak coordination between customary institutions and law enforcement officials. Therefore, stronger regulations and supervision are needed to ensure that penal mediation runs fairly, legally, and follows applicable legal principles.
