Abstract

Freedom of expression is a fundamental right guaranteed by the constitution, but it is not absolute, as it may be restricted to protect human dignity, public order, and the rights of others. In Indonesia, this guarantee is enshrined in the 1945 Constitution, but at the statutory level, it remains fragmented across the Criminal Code (KUHP) and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) without clear normative criteria to distinguish between criticism and hate speech. This situation leads to multiple interpretations, legal uncertainty, and the risk of overcriminalization of public expression. This study employs a normative legal method with a comparative approach between Indonesia and Germany. The German legal system was chosen because it features an integrated normative framework through the Basic Law (Grundgesetz), §130 of the Criminal Code (Strafgesetzbuch), and the Network Enforcement Act (NetzDG), which provide more detailed indicators. The findings indicate that Germany possesses a higher level of normative precision and legal certainty. The novelty of this study lies in its comparative analysis, which integrates normative, philosophical, and implementational dimensions to formulate more precise legal indicators for limiting hate speech. Therefore, a reformulation of normative indicators in Indonesian legislation is necessary to strengthen the balance between freedom of expression and the protection of human rights in the digital age.

Abstract

This article analyzes the methodological development of contemporary Islamic legal thought through a comparative study of Indonesia and Malaysia. Using qualitative library research with a normative-comparative approach, the study examines academic literature, fatwas, and Islamic legal regulations in both countries. The findings reveal that although both Indonesia and Malaysia employ maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah as a primary framework, their orientations differ significantly. Indonesia demonstrates a plural, academic, and contextual approach by integrating classical uṣūl al-fiqh with hermeneutical and socio-historical perspectives. In contrast, Malaysia adopts a more formal-legal orientation, institutionalizing Islamic law through state legislation and Syariah courts. These differences indicate that contemporary Islamic legal methodology is not monolithic but shaped by socio-political structures and national legal systems. The study contributes to the discourse on Islamic legal reform by highlighting the contextual dynamics of methodological development in Muslim-majority countries.

Abstract

The Indonesian Ulama Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia/MUI) plays a strategic role in responding to contemporary issues of Islamic family law through the issuance of fatwas. This article examines the legal foundations and mechanisms of istinbāṭ al-ḥukm employed by MUI in formulating fatwas related to Islamic family law. This study uses library research with a content analysis approach by examining selected MUI fatwas, including fatwas on interfaith marriage, assisted reproductive technology (in vitro fertilization), and divorce through digital media issued between 2005 and 2020. The findings show that MUI applies a model of collective ijtihād (ijtihād jamā‘ī) that integrates classical Islamic legal sources, such as the Qur’an, Sunnah, consensus, and analogy, with contextual considerations and the objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah). This approach reflects a contextual-normative legal orientation that maintains textual authority while responding to social changes within Muslim family life in Indonesia. This study contributes to the understanding of institutional fatwa-making in Indonesia and highlights the relevance of MUI fatwas as moral and social references in the development of contemporary Islamic family law.

Abstract

The practice of surrogacy or surrogacy is a phenomenon of assisted reproduction that is growing globally along with advances in health technology, but has not yet received clear legal regulations in the Indonesian national legal system. The absence of this regulation creates a legal vacuum that impacts the uncertainty of the civil status and protection of children born from surrogacy practices. This study aims to analyze the implications of the surrogacy legal vacuum for child protection from the perspectives of civil and Islamic law in Indonesia. This study uses a normative legal research method with a legislative, conceptual, and comparative approach. Data were obtained through a literature review of relevant primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results show that Indonesian civil law does not provide a clear mechanism for determining the status of parents, lineage, and civil rights of children in the context of surrogacy, thus potentially ignoring the principle of the best interests of the child. Islamic law normatively does not condone the practice of surrogacy because it contradicts the principle of maintaining lineage as part of the maqashid al-shariah, but still emphasizes the obligation to protect children as a trust whose rights and dignity must be protected. An integrative analysis reveals a common ground between civil law and Islamic law in their orientation toward child protection, despite differing normative approaches. This study recommends the need to formulate a national legal policy that does not legitimize the practice of surrogacy but still guarantees comprehensive and equitable legal protection for children born.
