Abstract

Objective: This study analyzes the factors influencing early marriage in Ponorogo Regency, Indonesia, from an Islamic law perspective. Theoretical framework: This research is grounded in Islamic legal theory, particularly maqasid al-shariah, which emphasizes protection of religion, life, lineage, intellect, and property in regulating marriage practices. Literature review: Previous studies indicate that early marriage is influenced by cultural traditions, economic hardship, low educational attainment, religious interpretation, and unintended pregnancy, with a significant rise in dispensation cases reported by religious courts in Indonesia. Methods: This study employs a qualitative literature study approach using secondary data from academic journals, books, and official reports, following Mestika Zed's framework, without field data collection. Results: The findings show that early marriage in Ponorogo is mainly driven by out-of-wedlock pregnancy, followed by economic conditions, cultural norms, low education levels, personal willingness, and limited religious understanding, with consistently high dispensation cases recorded by the Religious Court. Implications: The study suggests the need for strengthened Islamic education, improved reproductive health awareness, stricter marriage dispensation evaluation, and enhanced community engagement to reduce early marriage rates. Novelty: This study integrates Islamic legal analysis with empirical trends from Religious Court data in Ponorogo, providing a contextual understanding of early marriage drivers rarely combined in previous literature. Furthermore, the persistence of early marriage in Ponorogo reflects a complex interaction between socio-cultural traditions, economic vulnerability, and limited access to comprehensive reproductive health education, while Islamic legal principles emphasize prevention of harm (darar) and protection of lineage (hifz al-nasl), suggesting that policy interventions should combine legal enforcement, community-based education, and strengthened coordination between religious institutions and government agencies to effectively reduce the rate of marriage dispensation cases among adolescents in the region through integrated Islamic socio-legal approaches. We recommend collaborative preventive strategies and policy reform urgently for sustainable social impact.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between Islamic political ethics, national security, and good governance based on the Qur'an, Sunnah, and the thought of scholars, as a normative framework to answer the challenges of modern governance. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework is based on the principles of Tawḥīd, Risālah, and Khilāfah, which are realized through justice, deliberation, accountability, rule of law, benefit, and ethical leadership as the foundation of governance. Literature review: A literature review integrates literature on Islamic political ethics, good governance, and national security from primary Islamic sources as well as classical and contemporary scholarly works to explain the relevance of Islamic values in modern governance. Methods: The research uses a qualitative approach with a doctrinal research design through documentary analysis of the Qur'an, Sunnah, and scientific literature on political ethics, governance, and national security. Results: The results show that the principles of Islamic political ethics strengthen institutional legitimacy, transparency, accountability, national security, and sustainable development, while complementing the concept of modern governance. Implications: The integration of Islamic political ethics in the modern system of governance has the potential to improve the quality of governance, strengthen national security, build public trust, and promote sustainable political stability. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in the conceptual integration of Islamic political ethics, national security, and good governance in one comprehensive normative framework for contemporary governance.

Abstract

Objective: The study examines the Sharia status of cryptocurrency by assessing its characteristics, functions, and transaction mechanisms based on fiqh al-muʿāmalāt, particularly its status as māl or thamaniyyah and its potential involvement in ribā, gharar, and maysir. Theoretical framework: The study is grounded in Islamic commercial jurisprudence, focusing on māl, thamaniyyah, ribā, gharar, maysir, and maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah as principles for evaluating cryptocurrency transactions. Literature review: The review discusses cryptocurrency, Islamic finance, contemporary fatwas, and scholarly debates concerning its classification, economic functions, potential benefits, and Sharia-related risks. Methods: The study employs a qualitative doctrinal approach based on Qur’anic principles, Sunnah, classical jurisprudence, contemporary fatwas, and recent academic literature on cryptocurrency and Islamic finance. Results: The analysis finds that cryptocurrency cannot be assigned a uniform halal or haram status solely on the basis of its technological form. Its Sharia status depends on the characteristics of the particular token, its economic function, transaction structure, and manner of use. Cryptocurrency may perform certain functions of money and facilitate lawful exchange, financial inclusion, remittances, and transparent transactions. However, high volatility, speculative trading, uncertain valuation, weak consumer protection, illicit uses, and interest-based products associated with some platforms raise substantial Sharia concerns. The findings therefore support a conditional, case-by-case approach to Sharia assessment. Implications: The findings highlight the need for case-by-case Sharia assessment and responsible governance that considers transparency, utility, transaction mechanisms, consumer protection, and the objectives of Sharia. Novelty: The study introduces a conditional approach to cryptocurrency assessment by shifting the focus from the technology itself toward token design, economic utility, transaction structure, and the presence or absence of prohibited Sharia elements.

Abstract

Objective: The rapid expansion of Islamic banking across Africa, Southeast Asia, and the GCC region requires credit assessment frameworks that are privacy-preserving, data-efficient, and strictly Shariʿah-compliant. This study proposes FedIslami, a novel federated learning framework designed to train credit-scoring models collaboratively across distributed Islamic bank branches without transmitting sensitive raw client records. Theoretical framework: The study is theoretically grounded in the Islamic principle of Amānah (trusteeship of client data) and Maqāsid al-Shariʿah objectives, establishing an ethical foundation for data privacy, algorithmic justice, and religious compliance within modern financial engineering. Literature Review: Existing literature highlights that conventional machine learning models violate data trusteeship through centralised data aggregation and systematically incorporate interest-rate exposure metrics, debt-service-coverage ratios, and other Ribā-indexed features that are impermissible under Shariʿah law. Method: FedIslami systematically excises fourteen identified Ribā-contaminated features, replacing them with Shariʿah-permissible analogues. Utilising FedAvg with differential privacy (DP-FedAvg) and homomorphic encryption secure aggregation, the model was validated on 214,736 anonymised financing records (2019–2024) across nine Islamic banks in Nigeria, Malaysia, UAE, and Bangladesh. Results: FedIslami achieved outstanding predictive accuracy with an AUC of 0.894, a Gini coefficient of 0.788, and a Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic of 0.581, significantly outperforming non-federated centralised baselines (0.871) and conventional federated models retaining Ribā features (0.842). The audit confirmed full compliance with AAOIFI Governance Standard No. 7 and IFSB-16. Implications: This research demonstrates that privacy-preserving federated learning effectively bridges performance gaps between modern Islamic and conventional credit-scoring systems while simultaneously reinforcing institutional ethical and religious data-governance obligations. Novelty: FedIslami introduces the first dual-layer privacy-preserving federated learning architecture that simultaneously addresses client privacy and algorithmic Shariʿah compliance through systemic Ribā feature elimination and Maqāsid-aligned variable substitution.

Abstract

Objective: The main purpose of this study is to clarify the foundational concept, underlying causes, distinct types, and essential legal regulations of juristic disagreement (ikhtilaf fiqhi), while thoroughly evaluating the profound impact of modern scientific, technological, and social developments on the growing diversity of contemporary Islamic legal opinions, fatwas, and scholarly rulings. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework is firmly anchored in Maqasid al-Shariah (the higher objectives of Islamic Law) alongside established methodological principles of legitimate Ijtihad (independent legal reasoning) designed to effectively harmonize sacred textual authority with rapidly evolving contemporary realities. Literature review: The literature review systematically synthesizes foundational primary Islamic sources, including the Glorious Qur'an and Sunnah, with classical juristic discourses, traditional legal maxims, and formal contemporary resolutions established by prominent international Islamic Fiqh academies. Methods: The research methodology adopts an integrative combination of descriptive, analytical, inclusive, and comparative qualitative research approaches to systematically analyze and evaluate classical textual evidences alongside modern juristic decrees. Results: The research results reveal that qualified, legitimate juristic disagreement represents a dynamic manifestation of the inherent flexibility, vitality, and comprehensiveness of Islamic Law. Furthermore, ongoing scientific, technological, and social transformations continuously generate novel, complex issues that require highly adaptable, well-reasoned, and diverse juristic responses. Implication: The practical implication underscores the urgent necessity of institutionalizing collective Ijtihad, promoting respectful scholarly dialogue, and distinguishing legitimate opinions from invalid dissent to preserve Muslim communal unity while securing genuine public interests (maslahah) and effectively preventing widespread societal harm. Novelty: The key novelty of this study lies in its systematic recontextualization of classical ikhtilaf regulations within contemporary institutional fatwa mechanisms, offering an integrative scholarly framework that bridges traditional legal heritage with modern practical realities.
