Abstract

This article analyses the waqf model for education in Malaysia by assessing the implementation of educational waqf, its achievements, and the challenges it faces. This study also examines how waqf can serve as a mechanism to strengthen Malaysia's education system. This study examines various initiatives and programmes undertaken by waqf agencies and educational institutions in Malaysia to improve access to higher education and to provide students in need with facilities and funding. This qualitative study employs a document analysis approach, drawing on research data from priorrom prior studies and authentic, up-to-date written documents. The study's findings present several models of waqf implementation in higher education in Malaysia. These models can be applied by other higher education institutions, with minor adjustments appropriate to the local educational context. This is significant in light of the waqf's role in education, which has been vigorously pursued for thousands of years.

Abstract

This study explores the dilemmas faced by undocumented Indonesian migrant workers in deciding whether to comply with the law and examines the characteristics of their legal compliance and non-compliance through a multidisciplinary approach. Using a sociolegal method, interviews were conducted with purposively selected undocumented Indonesian migrant workers. Furthermore, a survey was conducted by administering questionnaires to 50 undocumented Indonesian migrant workers using online media channels. The findings reveal that undocumented Indonesian migrant workers who chose to disobey the law did so mainly because of their distrust in the legal system, rather than as a result of conscious or reflective reasoning.  This is illustrated by the reasons for doubt, lack of funds, cost, fear of deportation, fear of punishment, fear of being blackmailed by officers, fear of being blocked, and fear of being unable to work abroad. Collaborative strategies and approaches based on the principles of justice, benefit, and trust are key to resolving the challenges facing undocumented Indonesian migrant workers. Fair implementation of laws and policies that provide tangible benefits to the community fosters trust in the legal system. This trust ultimately eliminates migrant workers' hesitation to comply with the law. These findings contribute to the efforts of policymakers, international organizations, and non-state actors to strengthen the governance of cross-border migration, particularly for migrant workers.

Abstract

Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia (ORI) oversees public services and prevents maladministration, yet its recommendations, despite a strong legal basis, are often treated as non-binding, resulting in persistent non-compliance. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Ombudsman’s authority in preventing maladministration and to propose normative and institutional measures to enhance bureaucratic compliance. The research employs a normative legal methodology, focusing on the analysis of key regulatory frameworks, particularly Law No. 25 of 2009 on Public Services and Law No. 37 of 2008 on the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia. Data were collected through a comprehensive literature review and analyzed using descriptive-analytical techniques. The findings reveal that weak compliance with Ombudsman recommendations is primarily driven by bureaucratic resistance, political interference, and institutional capacity constraints. The novelty of this study lies in its argument for strengthening the Ombudsman through legislative reform, including the introduction of limited executive authority, enhanced institutional autonomy, and proactive supervisory mechanisms. The study concludes that reinforcing the legal and institutional position of the Ombudsman is essential not only to improve administrative accountability but also to reflect the state’s genuine commitment to the rule of law, democratic governance, and effective public service delivery.

Abstract

This study critically examines the implementation of Article 53 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) in Indonesia, which permits marriage for women who become pregnant out of wedlock (kawin hamil). Using a qualitative case study approach in Lampung, the research draws on in-depth interviews with religious leaders and officials from the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). It analyzes them through the frameworks of u??l al-fiqh and maq??id al-shar?‘ah. Findings reveal that kawin hamil is widely seen as a necessary socio-legal solution. It protects the child’s lineage (nasab) and preserves family honor (‘irdh). The Hanafi school and aspects of the Sh?fi?? tradition justify this practice. Normatively, it is categorized as a maslahah ?ajiyyah (secondary public interest). However, the study identifies a normative tension. While the policy addresses immediate social concerns, it risks undermining the deterrent function (zajr) of Islamic law against zina (unlawful sexual relations). This creates an imbalance in the pursuit of the higher objectives of Sharia (maq??id al-shar?‘ah). The protection of lineage (?if? al-d?n) and dignity (?if? al-‘irdh) is prioritized over religion in their preventive roles. The study concludes that legal-administrative measures alone are insufficient. It calls for a more holistic policy framework that includes moral counseling, religious education, and a balanced application of maqa?hid principles to uphold both legal certainty and spiritual-moral integrity in Islamic family law.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of qatl al-gh?lah (murder by treachery) in Islamic criminal law and its relevance to the reform of Indonesia’s national criminal law. The phenomenon of qatl al-gh?lah is an essential issue in the study of Islamic criminal law because it has characteristics that differ from other types of murder. From the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh jin?yah), this crime is classified as murder whose punishment can only be enforced through qi??? and ??cannot be removed even if the victim’s family forgives. The relevance of this issue becomes increasingly evident when linked to several cases in Indonesia, such as the murder of Affan Kurniawan by a police officer, the Ferdy Sambo case, the KM 50 incident, and various other cases that demonstrate the weak protection of public security. However, previous studies rarely connect the normative concept of qatl al-gh?lah with practical issues in Indonesian positive criminal law, resulting in a gap in understanding how treachery-based murder should be legally qualified. Using a qualitative, normative approach through a literature review and case analysis, this study finds that qatl al-gh?lah warrants urgent attention in inspiring national criminal law reform. Its primary contribution is to provide a conceptual foundation for discussing the special category of murder based on exceptions, thereby integrating Islamic values of justice into the Indonesian criminal law system.
