Abstract

This study explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in reinforcing legal certainty for Muslims in determining the beginning of Ramadan and Syawal through the optimization of traditional methods—Hisab (astronomical calculations) and Rukyat (moon sighting). Employing a qualitative approach, this research analyzes scholarly literature, case studies, and existing technological models to evaluate how AI can enhance precision, objectivity, and legitimacy in lunar calendar determinations. The findings reveal that AI-based tools, including machine learning algorithms and image recognition systems, not only improve the accuracy of Hisab but also automate Rukyat by processing real-time meteorological and astronomical data. By integrating AI into these methods, the study proposes a hybrid model that supports religious observance with scientifically validated outcomes, ultimately contributing to greater legal certainty and unity among Muslim communities. This research highlights AI's potential to bridge traditional Islamic jurisprudence and technological innovation in support of timely and consistent religious practices.

Abstract

The deradicalization program in Indonesia has yet to achieve its intended goal of halting the spread of radical terrorist ideologies. This article explores a deradicalization strategy focused on Islamic religious perspectives concerning the application of Islamic law in Indonesia, specifically targeting terrorist inmates at a correctional facility located in Sentul, Bogor. Data were collected through interviews and document analysis. This study finds three core elements are instrumental in the deradicalization strategy aimed at correcting inmates’ misperceptions of Islamic law enforcement in Indonesia through religious education: instructional content, instructors/facilitators, and teaching methodologies. Elements from Islamic law and the Indonesian legal system positively contribute to the curriculum, serving as educational material for instructors. The content provided is in-depth and addresses fundamental Islamic legal concepts integrated with Indonesia's prevailing legal framework. As a result, terrorist inmates can gain a more comprehensive and integrated understanding. However, the current curriculum does not adequately cover the legislative application of Islamic law in Indonesia through statutory regulations, necessitating its ongoing development and periodic revision. There is also a shortage of qualified personnel capable of integrating and effectively communicating both Islamic legal principles and Indonesian law in a factual and comprehensible manner. An integrated understanding of Islamic religious perspectives and national identity is essential to align inmates’ knowledge with the legal application of Islamic law in Indonesia. Furthermore, the limited understanding among terrorist inmates regarding Indonesia's legal system and democratic governance has led to the erroneous belief that Indonesia is not a country that applies Islamic law.

Abstract

Muhammadiyah's determination of Fajr prayer time using a sun angle of -18° has elicited varied responses from the community. This study aims to analyze Muhammadiyah’s scientific approach and the accompanying social dynamics. The research employed a qualitative case-study method, involving literature studies, field observations, and semi-structured interviews with religious leaders and congregants at Muhammadiyah mosques in Makassar City. Key findings indicate that 76.19% of Muhammadiyah Mosque Prosperity Council (DKM) members accept the Muhammadiyah Central Board’s criteria for determining Fajr time; however, only 66.67% have implemented these criteria. This moderate implementation rate reflects a significant gap between theoretical acceptance and practical application, indicating issues of community readiness and internal communication effectiveness. Supporting factors for implementation include the availability of recent astronomical data, Muhammadiyah's spirit of tajdīd (renewal), and the integrity of falak (Islamic astronomy) methodology. Conversely, limiting factors include low public literacy, insufficient socialization at mosque-level, and congregants’ apprehension about change due to unfamiliarity with the revised criteria. Analysis based on maqāṣid al-sharī'ah is relevant in this context. Principles such as ḥifẓ al-dīn (preserving religion), ḥifẓ al-nafs (maintaining inner peace), and ḥifẓ al-‘aql (maintaining rationality) are essential considerations in contemporary ijtihad. This approach ensures that religious renewal, including the revision of Fajr prayer time, is valid in terms of Islamic law, ethical, educational, and socially acceptable. The implication of this study is the necessity to integrate astronomical aspects with strategic socialization and educational programs to enable rational acceptance of Islamic legal transformations and reduce community resistance effectively.

Abstract

This study explores how Islamic teachings can contribute to the creation of a regulated and sustainable transportation system amid the challenges of urbanisation and population growth. The research method used is a qualitative approach with an analysis of Islamic law (fiqh) focusing on masalih mursalah. Data was collected through a literature review of classical and contemporary Islamic literature, transportation policies, and empirical observations of traffic conditions in Jakarta. The analysis was conducted by integrating the principles of masalih mursalah with empirical data to formulate relevant solutions. The study also considered social and environmental aspects within the framework of Sharia law. The findings indicate that masalih mursalah can serve as a basis for Islamic transportation policies, such as the development of affordable public transportation, zone-based restrictions on private vehicles, and public education on traffic discipline as a solution to urban life. The results of this study are important as a paradigm for resolving Jakarta's chronic traffic congestion problem.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Maskūt ‘Anhu as a legal basis for determining the compliance of online commerce practices with Sharia law, focusing on online trade cases in three regencies around Bojonegoro, East Java. The research aims to analyze the legitimacy of Maskūt ‘Anhu, its understanding and application among scholars and Islamic legal practitioners, as well as its impact on the dynamics of online commerce in the region. The method used is qualitative research with a case study approach, involving in-depth interviews with 120 online MSME actors and 15 scholars and Islamic legal practitioners. The main findings indicate that Maskūt ‘Anhu is accepted as a flexible and relevant legal foundation for regulating digital trade, with the highest level of understanding in Lamongan (40%) and the lowest in Ngawi (30%). The implications of this study emphasize the importance of Maskūt ‘Anhu in supporting Sharia compliance while encouraging innovation in the Islamic digital economy. This research contributes uniquely by integrating classical ushul fiqh principles into the modern context of online commerce and offers recommendations for developing adaptive Sharia regulations. The findings are relevant for scholars, legal practitioners, and policymakers in strengthening the Sharia-based digital economic ecosystem in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article critically examines the extent to which Indonesia’s leading marketplaces, i.e., Shopee, Tokopedia, and Lazada, uphold legal protections for consumers of halal products. Applying a juridical-empirical approach, the study explores the implementation of Law No. 33 of 2014 on Halal Product Guarantee and Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection, focusing on the right to truthful product information and the legal validity of halal claims in digital marketplaces. Findings indicate a persistent regulatory gap between statutory mandates and actual marketplace practices: halal labelling is largely self-declared by sellers and rarely subjected to verification or certification enforcement by platforms. While these platforms comply with general consumer protection standards, they fail to ensure the specific legal obligations concerning halal authenticity as declared partially by the seller. Empirical evidence drawn from platform policies and consumer experiences underscores the urgent need for a more integrated regulatory framework involving government halal authorities, certification bodies, and digital marketplace operators. This study contributes to the broader discourse on digital consumer rights in Muslim-majority contexts and proposes actionable policy recommendations to strengthen halal assurance mechanisms in Indonesia’s digital economy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the inheritance distribution system within the Dayak community in Indramayu using a juridical-socio-cultural approach. The research employs a qualitative-descriptive method, integrating the analysis of positive law and customary law with local socio-cultural values specific to the community’s unique context. Data were collected through field observations, document studies, and semi-structured interviews with customary leaders and members of the Dayak community. The data analysis technique is based on the interactive model of Miles and Huberman and utilizes a normative-juridical and cultural-interpretive approach to explore the ongoing dynamics. The findings reveal that the bilateral kinship structure and customary principles such as Sejarah Alam Ngaji Rasa (the natural history of internal reflection), Menyatu dengan Alam (oneness with nature), and Ngaula Ning Anak Rabi (dedication to one's offspring and their spouses) influence an egalitarian inheritance system, although variations exist among subgroups. However, within the framework of legal pluralism and distributive justice, the system still reflects disparities, particularly concerning the rights of women and adopted children in matters of inheritance. The study recommends reformulating customary law to be more responsive to contemporary social justice values and to ensure the principles of non-discrimination and equality in the inheritance distribution process.

Abstract

Child marriage remains a complex issue within Indonesia’s multicultural legal system. The lack of synchronization among state law, religious law, and customary law creates a significant space for legal contestation, particularly in the practices of marriage dispensation and marital validation (isbat nikah). This study aims to analyze the dynamics of legal contestation among these systems using a normative-empirical legal approach through the examination of legal documents, regulations, and critical legal literature. Employing John Griffiths’ theory of legal pluralism, the study reveals that the Indonesian state tends to adopt a form of weak legal pluralism, recognizing religious and customary laws only to the extent that they do not contradict state law. The primary academic contribution of this study lies in its detailed exploration of how local and religious norms influence judicial decisions regarding dispensation and marital validation—an area that has received limited critical scrutiny in previous studies, which largely focused on formal normative analysis. This research also highlights the inadequacy of uniform national legal policies in responding to the diversity of grassroots social norms. Therefore, it advocates for a reformulation of legal approaches that are more participatory and context-sensitive through inclusive dialogue among state authorities, religious leaders, and customary communities. Such an approach is essential to ensuring the fair and sustainable protection of children’s rights within an adaptive legal pluralism framework that reflects Indonesia’s social realities.

Abstract

This article examines the method employed by the Tarekat Satri community in Bukittinggi to determine the beginning of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. This method diverges from the Indonesian government’s official approach in 1445 AH. The study aims to provide a deeper analysis of the astronomical basis of the Satri community’s criteria for determining Eid al-Fitr. This research adopts a qualitative design, drawing on both primary and secondary data. Data were collected through interviews and document analysis. The findings reveal that the Satri method exhibits substantial weaknesses from an astronomical standpoint. First, determining the new moon relies heavily on subjective estimates, such as predicting the arrival of Shaʿban 8 by observing the moon's apparent size. Second, the process lacks systematic rigor because it does not utilize standard astronomical instruments to ensure the precision of observational data. These limitations contribute to the discrepancies between the community’s calendar and the Indonesian government’s official calculations.

Abstract

This article examines how Islamic jurisprudence engages with transgender rights through two landmark fatwas in Egypt and Iran: Sheikh Muhammad al-Tantawi’s 1988 fatwa and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s 1987 fatwa. Using qualitative methods—document analysis, hermeneutics, and comparative case studies—the study analyzes how religious authorities interpret sex reassignment surgery (SRS) within Islamic law. Al-Tantawi permits SRS only for intersex individuals, reinforcing binary gender norms and sustaining legal ambiguity and social stigma in Egypt, though his ruling nonetheless inspired activism for more inclusive interpretations. In contrast, Khomeini’s fatwa employs theological principles such as aṣālat al-ibāḥa (original permissibility) and taslīṭ (personal authority) to allow SRS for transgender individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria, shaping Iranian state policy through formal medical protocols and insurance coverage. However, tensions remain, as this recognition coexists with the criminalization of homosexuality. The study shows that while medical diagnostics are central to legitimizing contemporary fatwas in both countries, such reliance also reinforces the pathologization of gender variance. By foregrounding this tension, the article demonstrates how medicalization both enables and constrains Islamic legal reasoning. It argues that applying maqāṣid al-Sharīʿa—particularly justice, welfare, and human dignity—offers a more compassionate and ethically responsive framework. The findings highlight the need for expanded ijtihād that incorporates non-binary and intersectional identities to support a more inclusive, human-centered Islamic legal approach.
