The results of this study indicate the Islamic concept of child custody known as hadanah, the criteria for divorce, explicitly it is the mother who is given the right to care for the child according to the rules, that the child is not yet mumayyiz and if the mother does not meet the requirements as the holder of custody, then the right foster care is transferred to the closest relative who fulfills the requirements, as required by article 156 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). As for custody of children who are mumayyiz, they are given the option to choose between the father or the mother. However, the option right is not absolute. This means that the child's choice can be granted as long as the person chosen has the ability to guarantee the physical and spiritual safety of the child he is caring for. Between Islamic law, the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning marriage, international conventions and several laws, there is a similarity of view between the principle of the best interests of children which is based more on considerations of benefit. Juridically, if there is a dispute regarding child custody for those who have not mumayyiz, then the court will decide based on the interests of the child.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the factors that cause waqf land to be uncertified in Gorontalo City. The research method used is empirical with a qualitative approach and then the data will be analyzed descriptively. The results of this research show that the factors inhibiting the protection of uncertified waqf land rights are: first, lack of public understanding and awareness which results in waqf land being given without going through proper legal procedures, such as obtaining certificates and official registration. Second, the complexity of administrative and legalization procedures resulting from complicated bureaucracy and lack of technical support from the government are additional factors that make it difficult to process waqf land certificates. Convoluted processes and lack of access to technical assistance mean that Nazirs often have difficulty understanding the necessary administrative requirements. Third, the limited protection of waqf land rights means that waqf land often remains uncertified and not managed well, causing the potential social and religious benefits of waqf to not be felt optimally by the community.

Abstract

Technological and societal developments have generated significant benefits for modern society; however, they have also contributed to increasingly complex forms of criminal activity, including narcotics-related offenses. In Indonesia, the development and circulation of narcotics have been influenced by technological advancement, which has facilitated new methods of communication, distribution, and illicit transactions. The growing prevalence of narcotics abuse, as reflected in numerous cases investigated and prosecuted by law enforcement authorities, has become a serious concern due to its implications for public health, social order, and criminal justice. Narcotics and other addictive substances constitute not merely a domestic problem but also a transnational challenge, particularly because their production, distribution, and consumption frequently involve networks operating across national borders. In response, states have adopted various measures to prevent and combat the illicit trafficking and abuse of narcotics through international and regional cooperation, as well as through the enactment of specific domestic legislation. Nevertheless, the strict prohibition of certain narcotics also raises legal concerns when substances classified as prohibited narcotics possess potential therapeutic benefits. This article examines the regulation of Class I narcotics in Indonesia, particularly marijuana, in relation to their potential use for medical purposes. By examining the existing legal framework and developments concerning the therapeutic use of cannabis, this article argues for a more proportional and evidence-based approach to narcotics policy. In particular, it emphasizes the importance of scientific research and regulatory reform to accommodate the controlled medical use of certain narcotic substances while maintaining strict safeguards against abuse and illicit distribution
