Abstract

This study explores the multicultural transformation in waqf land registration in Indonesia, focusing on the role of Waqf Pledge Deed Officials (PPAIWs) in Singkil District, Manado City. Employing a multicultural approach integrated with empirical legal research methods, this study examines how national waqf policies interact with cultural and religious diversity at the local level. Data collection methods include legal document analysis, field observations, and in-depth interviews with PPAIWs, nazhirs, religious leaders from various communities, and government officials. The data were analyzed using a multicultural theoretical framework, emphasizing the concepts of 'interactive multiculturalism' and 'dialogical multiculturalism'. The findings reveal that only 18.9% of waqf lands are certified and 21.6% have Waqf Pledge Deeds, reflecting the challenges in aligning national policies with local multicultural realities. However, the adaptive strategies of PPAIWs in bridging cultural and religious differences demonstrate the potential for multicultural transformation in waqf management. This study proposes a more inclusive model of waqf registration, including cross-cultural outreach programs, flexible legal interpretations, and the utilization of interfaith dialogue. This research contributes to a more nuanced understanding of religious law implementation in pluralistic societies, offering new insights into how waqf policies can be enriched through a multicultural approach to enhance social harmony and administrative effectiveness.

Abstract

Homo economicus and homo islamicus are two concepts of human economic behavior that stem from different intellectual backgrounds. This paper aims to conduct a critical comparative analysis on the fundamental assumptions of the two concepts. The research method is qualitative, drawing upon key literature from Western and Islamic schools of thought. The results show that homo economicus and homo islamicus differ significantly in terms of underlying principles, motivations, and moral considerations. Homo economicus is driven by self-interest and narrow rationality, while homo islamicus is guided by the framework of Islamic values. These differences have implications on how the two concepts view systems of production, consumption, and distribution. However, the concepts can complement each other in providing a more comprehensive understanding of human economic behavior. The study suggests the need for integrating or synthesizing diverse perspectives in formulating a multidimensional and culturally inclusive analytical framework of economic behavior.

Abstract

The thrift shop phenomenon is on the rise in Indonesia, especially among young entrepreneurs who utilize the ease of online marketing. This research aims to examine online thrift shops as a business opportunity for young entrepreneurs in Manado City through a multiculturalism approach. Qualitative method with in-depth interviews with 8 main informants from Manado, Minahasa, and Gorontalo ethnicities. Results show that cultural background influences entrepreneurial orientation. Ethnic Minahasa tends to sell casual fashion, in contrast to ethnic Gorontalo who prioritizes Muslim clothing. The migrants' marketing strategy utilizes more social commerce, while the ethnic Manado still relies on community-based marketing. Young entrepreneurs are also encouraged by the flexibility and profit potential of thrift shops, although the risk of product damage and network constraints are challenges. Thus, this study found that cultural background and local values shape thrift shop business orientation and entrepreneurial behavior. Understanding this multicultural perspective can encourage the development of a thrift shop ecosystem that is more inclusive and responsive to the cultural diversity of the people of Manado City.

Abstract

This research is oriented towards discussing Durkheim's social solidarity in the transmigrant society in the seven Villages in Modayag District, East Bolaang Mongondow Regency. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with fourteen informants. The technique of determining informants is purposive sampling. The research instruments are the researchers themselves and the data analysis techniques include data reduction, data display, data verification. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the social solidarity built in the Javanese society in the seven Villages in Modayag is in the form of organic solidarity according to Durkheim's theory. Mechanical solidarity is the solidarity built because of the art and cultural values jointly adhered to in society or societies that are still homogeneous in nature. In the Javanese society in the seven Villages in Modayag District, East Bolaang Mongondow Regency, religious values, language, art and culture are maintained even though the transmigrant society lives amidst the indigenous Mongondow culture and other tribes such as Minahasa, Gorontalo and Sanger. However, Javanese culture has become a collective value that can influence the surrounding community. The Javanese society in the seven Villages in Modayag interacts with various cultures, tribes and religions, but the rooted Javanese religious values, language and art culture are maintained and give birth to a collective conscience among the Javanese people which becomes a symbol of their social solidarity.

Abstract

The phrase of Indonesian citizen that quotes in Article 51 Paragraph 1 of Law Number 8 of 2011 about the Constitutional Court provides the widest possible opportunity for the Indonesian people to contest their rights. A Constitutional Court’s judge as an Indonesian citizen has the same rights in filing a lawsuit regarding his legal interests related to the review of the Constitutional Court Law. This study contains two results. First, the right to file a petition is the right to file a lawsuit or petition to the Constitutional Court. However, in reviewing Legal Certainty in the second discussion, a Constitutional Court judge should be prohibited from reviewing the Constitutional Court Law as it violates Legal Principles, that a Judge cannot be a Judge for himself. From a multicultural perspective, every Indonesian citizen regardless of ethnic, religious or gender background has equal rights to file a judicial review petition to the Constitutional Court. This reflects the spirit of unity in diversity and equality contained in the 1945 Constitution. However, there still needs to be restrictions to avoid conflicts of interest. By upholding the principles of legal certainty and justice, the Indonesian judiciary system can realize the noble ideals of the nation..

Abstract

This article aims to detail the development of the method of finding sources of Islamic law concerning the perspectives of the scholars of the madhhab al-arba'ah, and explore its advantages and disadvantages based on the findings gathered. The research adopts a literature-based approach, a research method that relies on literature as the main source of information. Primary data sources are obtained from classical works, books, journals, and other related references related to the method of finding sources of Islamic law, especially in the perspective of the ulama mazhab al-arba'ah. Researchers use a qualitative approach with analytical descriptive methods to analyse primary data. The results show that the schools of Islamic law, such as Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hambali, show differences in the method of legal discovery and its implementation. Each school has distinctive characteristics based on its origin's sociocultural and political context. The thoughts of the leading figures in developing the science of usul fiqh, such as Abu Hanifah, Imam Malik, Imam Shafi'i, and Imam Ahmad, reflect the differences in ijtihad and law-making methods in these schools. Thus, this article provides an overview of the complexity and diversity of legal discovery methods in the Islamic context, illustrates the evolution of legal thought over time, and highlights the different approaches among the schools of Islamic law.

Abstract

This article examines the background behind couples from various ethnic groups in Indonesia opting for unregistered marriages and their efforts to obtain legal recognition of their marital status from the state. The research aims to understand the motivations of couples from different cultural backgrounds when deciding to marry in secrecy and how they then seek to legalize their unions through court decisions on marital status confirmation. The method used in this study is field research with a descriptive qualitative approach. Primary data was obtained through in-depth interviews with 14 interethnic couples such as Minang, Batak and Javanese in Padang City who filed petitions for marital status confirmation to the local Class 1A Religious Court. The findings reveal that preferences over unregistered marriages are influenced by the social, cultural and religious backgrounds of each ethnic group. This condition necessitates contextual adjustments in providing legal solutions to the issue of unregistered marriages so that they can be accepted by all parties from the existing cultural diversity. In conclusion, marital status confirmation in Religious Courts can be an effective legal solution for interethnic couples with unregistered marriages in Indonesia to obtain formal recognition of their marital status. However, a profound understanding of the prevailing socio-cultural values in each community is needed so that decisions on marital status confirmation do not contradict and can be well accepted by all parties.
