Abstract

This study examines the conceptual dichotomy that often arises between universal Human Rights (HAM) and the fundamental goal framework of Islamic law, namely Maqasid Sharia. There is an urgency to harmonize these two concepts in order to strengthen the guarantee of humanitarian protection in the legal system. This study uses a literature study method with a descriptive research nature with a comparative approach, examining primary and secondary legal materials, as well as Islamic legal doctrine. The main objective of this study is to analyze the convergence and substantial coherence between human rights principles and the five essential objectives of Maqasid Syari

Abstract

Fraud and organizational failures in Indonesia’s Hajj and Umrah industry have surged alongside rapid sectoral growth, inflicting significant financial, emotional, and spiritual losses on pilgrims. These malpractices consistently violate core principles of fiqh muamalah, particularly the wakalah (agency) contract and amanah (trustworthiness), while incorporating prohibited elements of gharar (excessive uncertainty) and ghishsh (deceit). Employing a normative juridical approach, this study utilizes library-based data collection from primary sources (Al-Qur’an, authentic Hadith collections, classical fiqh texts across the four madhhabs, contemporary fatwas from MUI and DSN-MUI, and key legislation including Law No. 14 of 2025 and Law No. 8 of 1999) and secondary sources (scholarly works and reports published 2021-2026). Data were analyzed through deductive qualitative content analysis comparing Islamic transactional principles with Indonesian positive law provisions. Findings reveal persistent ethical breaches in recent 2025–2026 cases such as PT NMA’s failure to depart over 1,000 Haji Furoda pilgrims, embezzlement exceeding Rp 1 billion in Ternate, and fraudulent Umrah packages by operators in Lampung Utara and Samarinda demonstrating patterns of fund misappropriation, counterfeit visas, and unilateral cancellations. While legal safeguards under Law No. 14 of 2025 and Law No. 8 of 1999 are robust (including mandatory licensing, escrow accounts, and digital monitoring), implementation challenges persist, notably in proactive enforcement and cross-jurisdictional coordination. This study pioneeringly offers the first comprehensive post-2025 regulatory analysis integrating maqasid al-syariahh particularly Hifzu al-Mal into national frameworks, proposing a novel set of actionable strategies (maqasid-based licensing assessments, institutional synergy with DSN-MUI, blockchain-enhanced transparency, and fiqh-integrated arbitration) to shift enforcement toward preventive, transparent, and restorative justice models. These contributions bridge fiqh muamalah with contemporary Indonesian law, providing policymakers with practical tools to enhance accountability and align pilgrimage services with religious and public welfare goals.

Abstract

Credit agreement deeds executed before Notaries are intended to ensure legal certainty and strong evidentiary value in banking transactions. However, in practice, particularly within the banking sector, such deeds are frequently executed in violation of the formal requirements stipulated under the Law on the Office of Notaries (UUJN), including the absence of one party, non-simultaneous signing, and the failure to read the deed before all appearers. While previous studies have generally addressed formal obligations in notarial practice, limited attention has been given to the recurring practice of separate creditor signing and its legal implications. This study aims to examine the validity of credit agreement deeds that do not comply with the UUJN and to analyze the impact of such non-compliance on legal certainty and notarial accountability. Employing a normative juridical method, this research analyzes statutory regulations, legal doctrines, scholarly literature, and relevant judicial decisions concerning notarial law and the law of evidence. The findings demonstrate that non-compliance with mandatory formal requirements particularly the absence of simultaneous signing before the Notary results in the degradation of credit agreement deeds from authentic deeds to private deeds or, in certain cases, renders them legally invalid. Such degradation weakens evidentiary strength, undermines legal certainty for both creditors and debtors, and exposes Notaries to administrative, civil, and ethical liability. This study contributes to notarial law by clarifying the doctrinal boundaries of deed validity and reinforcing the essential relationship between legal certainty and notarial accountability.

Abstract

The practice of land waqf without a Deed of Waqf Pledge (AIW) often faces legal disputes, particularly when non-heirs claim the waqf land and consider it part of the inheritance. Previous research has focused on the AIW as an administrative requirement for waqf validity. However, they have not sufficiently addressed the legal status of waqf without an AIW and how judges prove the substance of the waqf in disputes involving non-heirs. This study aims to analyze the legal status of waqf land without an AIW and examine the legal considerations of the panel of judges in the Lubuk Pakam Religious Court Decision Number 1634/Pdt.G/2024/PA.Lpk. The method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach and case studies. This research utilizes primary and secondary legal materials, including waqf regulations, legal doctrine, and court decisions. The results of the study show that the panel of judges emphasized substantive evidence related to the designation and social function of waqf land through the consistency of witness statements and facts of control and use of land for public interests, even though the waqf was not supported by AIW. The court rejected the defendants' ownership claim because they lacked legal standing as legal heirs. This research contributes to strengthening the doctrine that the legal status of waqf is not solely determined by administrative formalities, and affirms the position of the Deed in Lieu of Waqf Pledge as a crucial instrument in providing preventive and repressive legal protection against unilateral claims by non-heirs.

Abstract

This article examines the scope of contemporary Islamic legal thought and its methodological approaches through a comparative study of Indonesia and Malaysia. Using qualitative library research with a normative-comparative approach, this study analyzes academic literature, fatwas, and legal regulations related to Islamic law in both countries. The findings show that although both countries employ maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah as a methodological framework, they differ in orientation. Indonesia tends to adopt a more plural and academic approach by incorporating hermeneutical and socio-historical perspectives, while Malaysia emphasizes a legal-formal approach through state institutions and Syariah courts. These differences indicate that contemporary Islamic legal thought is contextual and shaped by socio-political structures and legal systems.

Abstract

Land registration in Indonesia aims to ensure legal certainty and protection of land rights, as regulated under the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) and Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997. However, in practice, administrative errors such as the exchange of land parcels in certificates still frequently occur, leading to legal uncertainty and disputes within the community. This study examines the role of the National Land Agency (BPN) in resolving such disputes through mediation, with a case study conducted in Pekalongan Regency. The research employs a normative-empirical approach by analyzing statutory regulations, official documents, and field data. The findings indicate that BPN holds a strategic role in mediating disputes, verifying physical and juridical data, and correcting administrative errors in land certificates. Nevertheless, several challenges persist, including limited human resources, low public legal awareness, and the restricted administrative authority of BPN. Strengthening institutional capacity, improving data accuracy, and enhancing inter-agency coordination are necessary to optimize mediation outcomes. Overall, effective mediation by BPN contributes to orderly land administration, the reduction of agrarian conflicts, and the realization of legal certainty in Indonesia’s land sector.

Abstract

The conversion of land cultivated by indigenous legal communities has become an increasingly complex agrarian issue in Indonesia amid the expansion of development and investment. For indigenous communities, land is not merely an economic asset but also carries social, cultural, and spiritual values as part of their collective identity. This study explicitly aims to analyze the implementation of the role of the National Land Agency (Badan Pertanahan Nasional/BPN) in land conversion involving indigenous legal communities and to assess its legal responsibility in providing legal certainty and protection of land rights from a land law perspective. This research is significant because previous studies have mainly focused on agrarian conflicts or normative recognition of customary land rights, while limited attention has been given to examining BPN’s institutional role in the practical implementation of land conversion affecting indigenous communities. This study employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, particularly analyzing Supreme Court Decision No. 3380 K/Pdt/2020, supported by primary and secondary legal materials. The analysis is conducted qualitatively using deductive legal reasoning. The findings reveal that BPN’s role remains predominantly administrative and has not yet optimally fulfilled its protective function toward indigenous land rights. Therefore, strengthening BPN’s substantive and participatory role is essential to ensure that land conversion policies align with the principles of agrarian justice.

Abstract

The implementation of the Electronic Divorce Certificate (EAC) since 1 July 2025 is part of the digital transformation of the judiciary aimed at realizing the principles of simplicity, speed, and low cost. However, its implementation at the Pulang Pisau Religious Court still faces various obstacles, particularly those related to public digital literacy. Of the 41 EACs issued, 58.54% of litigants still came to the court to request technical assistance, due to difficulties in logging into email accounts, limited internet access, the absence of bank accounts for the payment of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP), and unfamiliarity with the use of technology. This empirical legal study analyzes the challenges and opportunities of EAC implementation through interviews, observations, and documentation studies, grounded in the Theory of Legal Effectiveness and Prismatic Theory. The results indicate that the main challenges lie in the digital divide, technical constraints, and both user and internal institutional competencies. Nevertheless, EAC presents opportunities in the form of service efficiency, increased transparency, accelerated public access, and the strengthening of the judiciary’s institutional image. These findings underscore the need to enhance public outreach, improve infrastructure, and provide sustained technical support so that EAC implementation can be optimized and truly support the modernization of judicial services.

Abstract

Economic integration within ASEAN through the ASEAN Framework Agreement on Services (AFAS) has promoted the liberalization of professional services across member states; however, legal scholarship remains limited in examining its implications for professions that embody public authority, particularly notaries operating under different legal systems. This study aims to analyze the implications of AFAS on notarial territorial jurisdiction through a comparative analysis of Indonesia and Malaysia. Employing a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, this research examines the regulatory frameworks governing notarial authority in both countries. The findings reveal that AFAS produces asymmetric implications for the notarial profession. In Indonesia, notaries function as public officials whose authority is strictly territorial and grounded in state sovereignty, thereby restricting the application of service liberalization. In contrast, Malaysian notary public operate as private legal professionals with administrative functions, enabling greater flexibility in cross-border service provision. The novelty of this study lies in its argument that service liberalization under AFAS cannot be uniformly applied to professions with public functions, necessitating a differentiated legal harmonization model to ensure legal certainty while preserving national sovereignty within the ASEAN integration framework.

Abstract

This article examines the Indonesian Council of Ulama’s (MUI) fatwa on religious tolerance in the celebration of other religious holidays from a socio-legal perspective informed by Émile Durkheim’s theory of social solidarity and Talcott Parsons’ AGIL framework. It analyzes how the fatwa functions as a religious norm in maintaining social cohesion while negotiating tensions between religious identity and Indonesia’s plural social reality. Using qualitative document analysis, this study draws on the official MUI fatwa on religious tolerance and relevant scholarly literature on Islamic law, sociology of law, and social integration. The findings show that the fatwa operates as a normative mechanism that reinforces internal religious solidarity while enabling selective forms of social integration in a multireligious society. From a Durkheimian perspective, the fatwa seeks to preserve mechanical solidarity by safeguarding collective religious boundaries, while also acknowledging the need for organic solidarity in a plural context. Through Parsons’ AGIL framework, the fatwa fulfills adaptive, integrative, and latency functions by regulating tolerance and preserving religious values. The study contributes theoretically by advancing a socio-legal understanding of Islamic fatwas as social institutions mediating religious norms and social cohesion in plural societies.
