Abstract

Provisions of mahar (dowry) in Islam practiced by the Prophet Muhammad and his companions are substantially used as a standard of giving dowry in a marriage. Mahar provided by the Prophet as well as those by his companions had a high economic value; unless they were fortuneless. However, what has been practiced by many recently does not reflect the deed of the Prophet Muhammad. Nowadays, people tend to provide a set of prayer outfit as a mahar, an item which could not support a family financially. Even if some people do provide high-priced mahar, yet much of it is used before akad (the marriage vow) to finance a wedding reception, rather than handing out the money directly to the wife. This article aims at evaluating this tradition, since it discriminates against women’s privilege of mahar. From the findings of the research, it is concluded that traditions; giving a set of prayer outfit to women, or using mahar as a payment for a wedding reception discriminate against women’s rights because the essence of mahar is to economically support or help the wife in the future. According to the provisions of ʻurf, this tradition does not fit in the Islamic law and is not legitimate to be incorporated into the Archipelago’s fiqh.

Abstract

This article discusses the issue of legal certainty of the practice of hajj substitution (badal haji) in Indonesia for the prospective pilgrims who have died before the pilgrim season or have suffered from chronic diseases hindering them from performing the planned hajj from the perspective of uṣūl al-fiqh approach. Despite the fact that Hajj substitution has been widely practiced, there are problems with regards to both legal basis and actual practices. From the fiqh point of view, the issue is subject to dissent between the scholars and jurists. As for its actual practice, there is a wide opportunity for abuse from irresponsible parties. Along with this background, in seeking for legal certainty, this article employs bayānī (textual), taʻlīlī (causation), and istiṣlāḥī (public interest) reasoning of uṣūl al-fiqh upon the relevant literature. Through bayānī reasoning, this article concludes that hajj substitution is obliged by some texts of hadith. Taʿlīlī reasoning reveals that the obligation applies only to the people who are at some point had reached the level of istiṭāʿa in their life. Finally, istiṣlāḥī reasoning unveils a number of adverse situations that one should take into consideration when planning for a hajj substitution on behalf of another, such as the issue of trust with the substitute of the hajj. Accordingly, this article argues that hajj substitution is allowed to be performed under the specific provision and trustworthiness.

Abstract

Abdullah Saeed and Mervyn K. Lewis argue that the implementation of contracts in Islamic banking has deviated from fiqh. With the same critical framework, some researchers in Indonesia also criticize the fatwas of the DSN-MUI (National Sharia Board of the Indonesian Ulema Council) on the muḍārabah contract. This paper, however, argues that all of those criticisms can be categorized as a khilāfiyyah (differences of opinion among muslim jurists). Again this backdrop, this paper will assess the validity of those critiques towards the fatwas of the DSN-MUI on muḍārabah within the perspective of the aqwāl of islamic legal experts (madhāhib) as well as prove that the muḍārabah model in Islamic banking in Indonesia does not deviate from fiqh. After reviewing relevant library sources, this paper shows that the fatwas of the DSN-MUI on muḍārabah are supported by the aqwāl of islamic legal experts among Ḥanbalī, Ḥanafī, Mālikī, and Shāfiʻī schools. Moreever, although it is different from the muḍārabah form known by many people in fiqh, the muḍārabah contract system adopted by the DSN-MUI can be categorized as a model of muḍārabah permitted by islamic legal experts.

Abstract

This article explores the debate among Muslim jurists on istiḥsān and istiṣhāb and the ability of both to solve Islamic legal cases in Indonesia. The research is done through normative legal approach by referring to various literatures in the elaboration of legal concepts. The concepts of law (istiḥsān and istiṣhāb) are discussed and become the central topic. At the end, those concepts are applied in the cases to draw normative conclusions. The result of this research shows that though istiḥsān and istiṣhāb are still debatable, both of the two have a strong influence and relevance to be applied. In the Indonesian context, istiḥsān and istiṣhāb reasoning, may be combined or separated, can be used to promulgate the obligatory registration of marriage, the application of health protocol of Covid-19 during prayer in the mosque in the time of pandemic, and possibility of using credit card and e-commerce for transaction, the acceptance of Pancasila as the basis of the Republic of Indonesia, the legitimacy of 1945 constitution, democracy, and current principles of modern jurisprudence (such as the principles of pre-assumption of innocent). That is due to the fact of their virtues for public life (maṣlaḥah muḥaqqaqah), and no exact prohibition is found in al-Qurʼan and Hadith (ibāḥah aṣliyyah). In short, by using istiḥsān and istiṣhāb, such mentioned recent cases may be solved and logics of legal reasoning can be extended.

Abstract

This article discusses the financial stability of Islamic banking in Malaysia by focusing on the analysis of current perspectives. In addition, it also discusses the references used to describe Islamic-based financial stability. To achieve this objective, this study would analyse the resources to ascertain the arguments on how such financial stability is viewed from an Islamic perspective. This study was conducted using a qualitative method through library research by searching for references from sources such as al-Qurʼan and its interpretation, al-Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and also arguments by Islamic scholars. The results of this study showed that certain texts in al-Qurʼan and al-Hadith, as well as the views of scholars, acknowledge that financial stability has a strong foundation based on authentic sources. In the context of Islamic banking in Malaysia, various aspects need to be taken into account to ensure that these banking institutions continue to remain relevant in the domestic and international financial arena. In this regard, to ensure the stability and strength of Islamic banking institutions in Malaysia, these institutions need to fully adapt the banking model recommended by the shariʻah, which would not only strengthen this industry but also make it capable of facing challenges and being resistant to financial crises and economic imbalances.

Abstract

Kuala Langsa has a large tourism potential to be developed, however, the lack of understanding of ecotourism regulations by stakeholders can hamper the develop­ment of the area into a mangrove ecotourism area that is following the princip­le­s of development. This paper discusses the role of the qanun in the develop­ment of mangrove ecotourism in Kuala Langsa, Aceh. The type of legal research used in this paper is a normative research method, then analyzed using a qualitative approach, with different analysis methods. The results of this paper indicate that in optimizing the development of coastal areas it is necessary to strengthen and explore Qanun and policies that have been regulated by the government. The development and management of tourism areas have been regulated in Aceh Qanun No. 8 of 2013 concerning Tourism. However, the regulation has not been running optimally due to the low understanding of the community regarding the tourism Qanun even though it is intended to provide legal legality for each stakeholder to be able to increase their capacity.

Abstract

The presence of digital technology brings significant changes in many aspects of human life, including the economy and financial services. The rapid development of financial technology (fintech) is being responded quickly by many countries including Indonesia and Malaysia. Not only conventional fintech, but Sharia fintech is also developing significantly in both countries. This phenomenon is caused by the efficiency and ease of fintech. However, fintech in Indonesia is not followed by a comprehensive protection of personal data. The absence of special regulation on the protection of personal data in Indonesia causes the data often be misused by certain parties such as being stolen, sold, transferred and eliminated irresponsibly causing harm to fintech users. Meanwhile, Malaysia has built a legal system of personal data protection since 2010 and becomes the first country in the ASEAN region to have a comprehensive personal data protection law system. Therefore, the article aims to overview and compare the personal data protection law in Malaysia especially in fintech. To answer the problem, this study uses a normative-empirical method with a comparative law approach. The result of this article shows that Indonesia should learn from Malaysia by doing benchmarking as an effort to establish a comprehensive regulation for protecting personal data. A comprehensive regulation and law enforcement on the protection of personal data are urgently needed in Indonesia to protect the rights of fintech users.

Abstract

The data collection of waqf land on SIWAK application is one form of information disclosures to the public and information exchange in government agencies to realize good governance. Unfortunately, the utilization of the SIWAK application was not carried out optimally by the KUA in Sui Raya Sub-District. This paper aims to describe and analyze the implementations and procedures for data collection of waqf land through the SIWAK application and the constraints found in the KUA in Sui Raya Sub-District. Using empirical research and the case study approach, there are three research results in this paper. First, the data collection program of waqf land on KUA Sui Raya Sub-District is divided into two: the data collection of waqf land manually and online through the SIWAK application. Second, the procedure for data collection of waqf land through the SIWAK application is the same as the procedure for manual registration of waqf land. After the pledge of waqf was pledged by wākif to nādzir in the presence of PPAIW and two witnesses, the data was then submitted by Functional Penghulu into the SIWAK application. Third, there are two constraints experienced by the Functional Penghulu in KUA Sui Raya Sub-District in collecting data on waqf land through the SIWAK application, namely the lack of human resources and the lack of available facilities,no internet network to access the SIWAK application. The author argues that the democratization of sharia carried out by the government regarding the data collection of waqf assets must be able to overcome existing obstacles to provide legal certainty and justice for Muslim communities in Indonesia in waqf.

Abstract

This paper discusses a community empowerment-based zakat program run by the BAZNAS (National Amil Zakat Agency) of Bengkulu Province as well as proves the flexibility of the classical maqāṣid al-sharīʻa in responding to modern development that have not been analyzed by previous researchers. In addition, this paper argues that institutionalizing zakat is not a "bureaucratization of sharia" as stated by Asep Saepuddin Jahar. This paper uses principles of field studies that are corroborated with relevant literature sources. This paper shows that programs initiated by the BAZNAS of Bengkulu Province such as 'Bengkulu takwa', 'healthy Bengkulu', 'smart Bengkulu', and 'prosperous Bengkulu' are an implementation of maqāṣid al-sharīʻa in responding to modern development. These programs demonstrate that preserving religion (al-dīn), soul (al-nafs), intellect (al-ʿaql), lineage (al-nasl), and property (al-māl) in the classical maqāṣid al-sharīʻa discourse is not static, but dynamic. This dynamism can be interpreted as the prosperity of religion, soul, lineage, intellect, and people's property. Thus, this paper argues that institutionalizing zakat is neither a "bureaucratization of sharia" nor merely matching the classical maqāṣid al-sharīʻa with the modern context. Furthermore, it is a waṣīla for the welfare of the people in a structured and measured manner.
