Abstract

This study examines the legal implications of apostasy in Indonesia within the framework of Islamic personal status law, focusing on marriage dissolution, inheritance disqualification, and guardianship rights. Although apostasy is not criminalized under Indonesian national law, its consequences are civilly enforced through the Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI) and adjudicated by the Religious Courts. Drawing on classical Islamic jurisprudence, the legal system treats apostasy as a disqualifying condition that voids marital bonds, excludes individuals from inheriting from Muslim relatives, and impairs their capacity to act as guardians over Muslim children. The study employs a normative legal approach, supplemented by doctrinal analysis and relevant case studies, to assess how these civil sanctions affect individual rights. It further analyzes the tensions between doctrinal fidelity and Indonesia’s constitutional guarantees of religious freedom and non-discrimination. The findings reveal that civil consequences for apostasy, while doctrinally grounded, conflict with international human rights standards and potentially infringe upon constitutional protections. The study concludes that legal reform is necessary to harmonize religious law with human rights obligations, calling for a contextualized interpretation of Islamic principles that upholds justice, dignity, and individual liberty within Indonesia’s plural legal system.

Abstract

Pesantren in Banyumas Regency actively negotiate the relationship between Sharia principles and modern financial systems through their engagement with conventional banking institutions. Using a qualitative socio-legal approach that integrates doctrinal analysis with field research in five pesantren, the study explores how Islamic legal reasoning—particularly concerning riba—is interpreted within institutional contexts. The findings reveal that most pesantren, especially those affiliated with Nahdlatul Ulama, adopt a pragmatic approach grounded in maslahah (public benefit), niyyah (intention), and tarāḍī (mutual consent), distinguishing between exploitative usury and administrative interest. Their use of conventional banks is justified as a necessity for financial security, efficiency, and compliance with state regulations. In contrast, a minority of Salafi-oriented institutions reject conventional banking entirely, emphasizing textual fidelity and moral purity. The study concludes that pesantren financial practices represent a form of applied ijtihād—a contextual reinterpretation of Islamic law balancing doctrinal integrity and institutional pragmatism. By situating pesantren as active agents within Indonesia’s plural legal and economic landscape, this research highlights how Sharia operates as a living, adaptive system guiding ethical engagement in contemporary finance.
