Abstract

It is fascinating how customary laws are accepted by judges in the Indonesian legal system. In Aceh, particularly, its customary law is inspired by sharia or Islamic law. In addition to the national law, this law also influences judges’ consideration in making their decisions. According to Van Den Berg’s theory of receptio in complexu, Islamic law has been recognized in Indonesian legal system as a customary law. This article tries to find out how judges accept sharia-inspired customary law to pass their decisions. The research used normative-legal method. Based on the research results, the author concluded the judge’s acceptance of customary law could be seen from a Sharia Court decision related to customary disputes. This decision was passed by the Takengon Sharia Court under No. 269/Pdt.G/2017/Ms-Tkn dated May 2, 2018. It concerned with the division of joint property. This decision referred to Islamic law in giving each party a half of the total assets after being deducted by the joint debts. This decision strengthened the foothold of Islamic law in customary law and national law enforcement, especially in Aceh Province. However, it would be a different case if the customary law was in conflict with Islamic law. In such a case, the panel of judges would not accept the customary law. An example of this was the case of adopted children. Rather than receiving an inheritance, as in the traditional parental communities, they would only receive a mandatory will. One of such decisions was the Aceh Sharia Court’s Decisions No. 125/Pdt.G/2011/MS and No.084/ Pdt.P/2016/MS.Bna.

Abstract

The negative stigma against applying Islamic law or sharia has not disappeared. This stigma persists since it is accompanied by propaganda that Islamic sharia is contrary to human rights and is barbaric. Specifically, the Special Region of Aceh Province, with its special label and special autonomy based on Law No. 44 of 1999 concerning the Implementation of the Privileges of Aceh, strengthened by Law No. 18 of 2001 concerning Special Autonomy, Law No. 11 of 2006 concerning the Government of Aceh, and part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) of Helsinki bargaining, is permitted to apply Islamic law, including the issue of jinayat. This research’s object was the implementation of Qanun Jinayat in Langsa City to find out how it is implemented and how it protects the rights of minorities. Included in the field research category, this study used qualitative methods with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and field observations. The result revealed that the enforcement of the Qanun Jinayat in Langsa City is concerned about human rights norms, does not interfere with the rights of minorities, and they even feel happy since the Qanun’s norm is also regulated in their holy book.

Abstract

This article analyses the understanding of legal modernization in the sociology of Islamic law in Muslim countries regarding Islamic family law in Indonesia. The theory of legal modernization arises from the long history of Islamic legal theory since the Dutch era related to the enactment of Islamic law, both in terms of the struggle between customary law, Islamic law, and state law. The work for the emergence of legal theories such as Receptie theory becomes a filter for Islamic law in its application to Muslim communities in Indonesia. The results of this study indicate that the modernization of law in the form of KHI applies to the Indonesian Muslim community and requires the nation to be more mature in responding to modernity. However, there is an intersection between modernization and legal secularisation in the Islamic world, such as in Turkey, Egypt, Sudan, and Syria. Legal modernization from fiqh towards positivisation has given birth to formulations in Islamic family law in the form of sociological dynamics in contemporary Indonesian Islamic society.

Abstract

Indonesia is a Muslim-majority country that has enacted Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code as a common ideal between the state and its citizens in creating harmony in life. In a democratic country, the law-making process must open to public participation as a form of manifestation of the determination of the society’s living values, and as providing legitimacy for the formation of a law. This study focuses on discussing how much the aspirations of Muslims are adopted by the state in drafting the new Criminal Code, especially on issues related to Islamic morality, such as pornography, displaying contraceptives, adultery, cohabitation, abortion, and blasphemy. This study uses qualitative research methods with maslaha theory approach. The data sources are in the form of laws and regulations, minutes of DPR sessions, and the aspirations of the Islamic community. This study concludes that the new Criminal Code shows an increase in meaningful participation, which includes three prerequisites: the public has the right to be heard, the right to have their opinions considered, and the right to receive an explanation. The drafting of the new Criminal Code is at the “partnership” level and is in the “degrees of citizen power” category in the ladder of citizen participation scheme. At this level, the public has direct access to interact with policy makers regarding the new Criminal Code.

Abstract

This study elucidates the rationale behind judges’ decisions to permit the registration of interfaith marriages, unregistered or underhanded marriages, and underage marriages. These three issues are subject to divergent opinions, reflecting the multi-interpretational nature of social reality. This study reveals the judicial process of law discovery in resolving rules subject to multiple interpretations. Employing a qualitative approach, primary data were obtained through interviews with judges from the Surabaya District Court and the Sumenep Religious Court. The findings indicate that in addressing cases characterized by ambiguity, lack of regulation, and multiple interpretations, judges rely not only on the Marriage Law but also on human rights provisions and the supreme legal authority of the Indonesian Constitution. Upon recognizing a legal vacuum, the judges opted to revert to higher norms, exercising judicial discretion. Reconstruction occurs when judges, encountering a lack of clear rules, prioritize human rights and the constitution over strict textual interpretations of fiqh. This progressive approach allows judges to balance contextual norms with the evolving objectives of sharia in society, thereby fostering justice in marital matters.

Abstract

This scholarly article examines the judgments rendered by Religious Courts concerning disputes related to the revocation of grants, employing the viewpoint of Islamic jurisprudence and the maslahah theory. In this instance, the judicial panel overseeing the dispute related to the cancellation of the grant primarily invoked the provisions outlined in Article 35, Paragraph 1, and Article 36, Paragraph 1 of the Marriage Act (Law Number 1 of 1974), which pertain to joint property, along with Article 1338 of the Civil Code, addressing agreements. Consequently, the judges disregarded the article pertaining to the right to withdraw the grant’s subject, even though the grant is given without the consent of the other heirs. Meanwhile, in accordance with the maslahah theory, decisions rendered by a panel of judges in the Religious Court ideally aim to actualize the concept of Maqasid al-Shari’ah, specifically focused on the preservation of both property and descendants. This approach helps mitigate adverse consequences that may arise within familial dynamics, particularly in relationships between parents and their heirs. Nevertheless, in accordance with Hans Kelsen’s justice theory, the deliberations undertaken by judges when adjudicating cases involving the revocation of grants often exhibit inconsistency in the application of the pertinent legal framework, thereby leading to a partial realization of the intended concept of justice.

Abstract

Halal traceability is one of the government's focus in developing the halal industry. By adopting a blockchain system, halal traceability is undoubtedly transparent. However, this transparency also needs to be analyzed using maqāṣid al-sharī'ah. This analysis is used to analyze the extent of the application of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah values in halal traceability. The results of the study state that the application of halal traceability has fulfilled the elements of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, such as transparency, accountability, responsibility, and justice. Therefore, the blockchain-based halal traceability application model is appropriate and relevant to Islamic values.

Abstract

The effort to reconstruct Islamic law from liberal Muslim groups has a positive influence and acceptance for some people. However, the majority of Muslims have not been able to accept and prefer to follow the mindset and methodology of previous scholars. The concept of maqāṣid al-sharī’ah of liberal Muslim thinkers is methodologically considered not to have a strong basis because it dares to ignore the legal provisions in the specific daily, which are considered not in line with the purpose of the law and the benefit. Maqasid al-shari'ah should be built on efforts to integrate the texts of particular propositions into the texts of universal propositions (kully) so that the purpose of legal legislation can be understood. This article critically examines the concept of maqāṣid al-sharī’ah developed by liberal Muslim thinkers, especially in Indonesia. This study explicitly emphasizes the importance of Islamic law in realizing the benefits and being a solution to various problems of contemporary life. The benefit to be achieved is the ultimate and universal benefit, namely the benefit obtained through legal formulation efforts by making specific texts as a foothold to understand the purpose of the law. It is not an assumptive benefit (mawhūmah) obtained through legal reconstruction efforts based on the purpose of the law and the benefit but ignores the texts of particular arguments.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has exerted profound effects on the socio-economic landscape of the Indonesian populace, giving rise to vulnerable social segments. Throughout this period, BAZNAS, LAZISNU, and LAZISMU have overseen and allocated philanthropic resources from the Indonesian Muslim community for the mitigation of COVID-19-related challenges. The objective of this study is to address the inquiry regarding the allocation of funds for managing COVID-19 through a maṣlaḥah perspective, utilizing data sourced from documents of the three Amil institutions and insights gathered from interviews. The investigation reveals a congruence between BAZNAS and LAZISNU in their fund distribution practices, both demonstrating a concerted endeavor to leverage Islamic philanthropy for the establishment of social networks. Conversely, LAZISMU places greater emphasis on establishing a social health system amidst the pandemic, as evidenced by health programs being accorded second priority after social humanitarian initiatives. Nevertheless, a comprehensive conclusion may be drawn that all three institutions prioritize health and humanitarian concerns as focal points in the distribution of zakat, infaq, and alms within the context of the pandemic. From the standpoint of the maṣlaḥah theory, the prioritization rationale indicates that the allocation of Zakat, Infaq, and Alms funds is predominantly rooted in maṣlaḥah 'urfiyyah (or maṣlaḥah mulghah ghair mu'tabarah) rather than maṣlaḥah syar'iyyah.
