Abstract

The growing visibility of the childfree movement has generated significant debate within Indonesian Muslim society, where reproductive choices remain closely intertwined with religious values, cultural expectations, and gender norms. This study aims to examine how Indonesian Muslim women construct and negotiate the decision to remain childfree in contemporary socio-cultural and religious contexts while exploring the ethical implications of this choice from an Islamic perspective. Employing an interpretive qualitative design with a phenomenological approach, the research involved semi-structured in-depth interviews with seven Indonesian Muslim women from diverse provincial backgrounds, including married and unmarried participants, complemented by interviews with five additional informants representing broader societal perspectives. Non-participant observation and an extensive review of relevant literature were used to strengthen data interpretation through thematic analysis. The findings demonstrate that the dynamic interaction of biological, psychological, and social dimensions shapes the decision to remain childfree. Biological factors include reproductive health conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and severe dysmenorrhea, while psychological factors encompass trauma, emotional instability, and concerns regarding parenting readiness. Social influences involve economic uncertainty, environmental awareness, career aspirations, patriarchal cultural expectations, and diverse religious interpretations. The study further reveals that societal responses remain deeply polarized, ranging from stigmatization based on pronatalist and patriarchal norms to growing recognition of women's reproductive autonomy within contemporary Islamic discourse. The originality of this research lies in integrating the Biopsychosocial framework with al-Shāṭibī's Maṣlaḥah–Mafsadah paradigm, enabling a multidimensional analysis that places women's lived bodily experiences at the center while reconciling contemporary social realities with Islamic ethical reasoning. This integrative framework contributes to the development of contemporary Islamic legal and gender scholarship by providing a contextual and ethically grounded understanding of reproductive decision-making among Muslim women in Indonesia.

Abstract

East Java faces a critical plastic waste management crisis, generating over 15,700 tons of waste daily, yet its primary legal instrument — East Java Provincial Regulation No. 9 of 2022 — imposes only administrative sanctions and does not systematically incorporate circular economy principles. This regulatory gap between national policy mandates under Law No. 18 of 2008 on Waste Management, Government Regulation No. 81 of 2012, Presidential Regulation No. 83 of 2018 on Marine Debris Management, and the National Long-Term Development Plan 2025–2045 (RPJPN) under Law No. 59 of 2024 and the National Medium-Term Development Plan 2025–2029 (RPJMN) under Presidential Regulation No. 12 of 2025 — and provincial enforcement capacity constitutes the core legal problem addressed in this study. Employing a doctrinal legal research approach through legislative, conceptual, and comparative analysis—supported by empirical data on waste generation and recycling infrastructure—this study examines the adequacy of existing regulations and proposes a circular economy-based legal reform framework. From a contemporary Islamic law perspective, the mismanagement of plastic waste contradicts the maqāṣid al-sharī'ah imperative of environmental preservation (ḥifẓ al-bī'ah). The study finds that current regulations suffer from enforcement weaknesses, absence of criminal sanctions, lack of legal recognition for the informal waste sector, and insufficient vertical synchronization between national and regional frameworks. This study contributes a structured regulatory gap analysis and a reform model encompassing extended producer responsibility, fiscal incentives, and institutional restructuring—offering a replicable governance framework toward achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly zero waste and sustainable consumption.

Abstract

This study evaluates the relationship between Islamic leadership styles and the implementation of good governance within the framework of Islamic constitutional law (Fiqh Siyasah), focusing particularly on transparency and accountability in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Türkiye. In response to the relatively low Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) scores recorded in many Muslim-majority countries, this study examines the integration of theological and constitutional values into modern bureaucratic systems to achieve the objectives of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah. The three countries were selected because they represent diverse constitutional systems that institutionalise Islamic ethical principles in distinctive ways. Employing a comparative-empirical qualitative approach, the study conducts content analysis of official audit reports, public policy documents, and global governance indices. The findings reveal a consistent empirical pattern: the institutionalisation of the principle of shūrā in Indonesia, reflected in increased electronic participation; amānah in Malaysia, demonstrated by declining levels of audit non-compliance; and faṭānah in Türkiye, manifested in greater e-government efficiency, has substantially strengthened budgetary oversight and improved public service delivery. The effectiveness of Fiqh Siyasah in promoting good governance largely depends on digital technology as a modern instrument of ḥisbah capable of minimising bribery and undue human intervention. Without such technological support, Islamic leadership risks becoming trapped in tasannu', or symbolic leadership, characterised by a discrepancy between strong religious rhetoric and weak substantive accountability. The principal contribution of this study is the proposed "Ethical-Digital Islamic Leadership" model, which positions digital infrastructure as an indispensable moral and constitutional instrument for validating the integrity of political authorities and realising measurable public maṣlaḥah.

Abstract

Contemporary legal philosophy has generated diverse approaches to understanding the relationship between law, morality, and justice, including legal positivism, natural law, legal pluralism, and integrative jurisprudence. Nevertheless, the absence of an epistemological framework capable of coherently integrating normative authority, rationality, justice, morality, and legal pluralism remains a persistent challenge within contemporary legal discourse. Addressing this challenge, this study reconstructs Usul al-Fiqh as an epistemological foundation for Contemporary Integrative Jurisprudence. It proposes an Integrated Philosophy of Law that synthesizes revelation, reason, ethical values, and justice within a unified conceptual framework. This study employs qualitative doctrinal legal research through comparative legal philosophy, conceptual analysis, philosophical hermeneutics, and qualitative library research. Primary sources include the Qur'an, Sunnah, and classical and contemporary Usul al-Fiqh scholarship, while comparative analysis draws upon major traditions of Western legal philosophy, particularly integrative jurisprudence. The findings demonstrate that Usul al-Fiqh extends beyond a methodology for deriving Islamic legal rulings by functioning as an integrative legal epistemology capable of reconciling normative authority, rational inquiry, moral legitimacy, historical consciousness, and legal pluralism. The study develops a conceptual model of Contemporary Integrative Jurisprudence in which Usul al-Fiqh serves as the epistemological architecture of an Integrated Philosophy of Law, thereby extending existing theories of integrative jurisprudence by incorporating revelation-based legal reasoning into contemporary global legal discourse. This reconstructed model contributes to legal philosophy by providing a coherent framework for balancing legal certainty, substantive justice, public interest (maṣlaḥah), and human dignity within increasingly pluralistic and post-secular legal societies.

Abstract

The enactment of the 2026 Indonesian Criminal Code marks a significant transformation in the national legal system, including the introduction of criminal sanctions for unlawful polygamous marriages. This article examines the construction of state criminal law in the criminalization of unlawful polygamy within Indonesia's contemporary criminal policy through the lens of maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah. Employing normative legal research that combines doctrinal legal analysis with a maqāṣid-based approach, the study argues that the criminalization of unlawful polygamy constitutes a form of state-led ijtihād grounded in the objectives of Islamic law and embedded within modern criminal justice policy. Rather than prohibiting polygamy as a lawful institution under Islamic law, the legislation targets unauthorized and fraudulent polygamous marriages that undermine legal certainty, gender equality, and family protection. This approach reflects a shift from formal textual legality toward a substantive legal paradigm centered on the protection of human dignity and social justice. From the perspective of maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah, the criminalization of unlawful polygamy aligns with the objectives of safeguarding lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl), human dignity (ḥifẓ al-ʿirḍ), and public welfare (maṣlaḥah). The findings demonstrate that maqāṣid provides a dynamic framework for contemporary ijtihād, enabling the harmonization of Islamic law and national law while legitimizing modern criminal law as an instrument for realizing the higher objectives of the Sharīʿah. Although debates surrounding the criminalization of polygamy often stem from a reductionist understanding of Sharīʿah as a fixed body of permissive norms, this article contends that criminal sanctions against unlawful polygamous marriages are not inherently inconsistent with Islamic law. Their legitimacy depends on adherence to the principles of proportionality, due process, and judicial discretion in criminal law enforcement. By moving beyond the conventional dichotomy between permissibility and prohibition, this study contributes to contemporary Islamic legal scholarship by offering a maqāṣid-oriented reconceptualization of the relationship between state authority, criminal legislation, and Islamic normativity.

Abstract

This study analyzes Islamic family financial decision-making in the contemporary era and its implications for achieving sakinah household well-being. In the context of rapid socio-economic transformation—marked by dual-income families, digital financial systems, and evolving gender roles—patterns of financial authority and resource management within Muslim households are increasingly dynamic. This research aims to examine how Islamic principles are implemented in family financial practices and how they contribute to the realization of a harmonious and tranquil (sakinah) household. Employing a qualitative socio-legal approach, this study integrates doctrinal analysis of Islamic family law with empirical insights obtained through in-depth interviews and document analysis. The data were analyzed thematically to identify prevailing models of financial decision-making, patterns of spousal interaction, and the internalization of Islamic ethical values. The findings reveal three dominant models: patriarchal-dominant decision-making, collaborative-consultative decision-making, and egalitarian-partnership arrangements. Among these, the collaborative-consultative model—characterized by deliberation, proportional role distribution, and mutual accountability—aligns most closely with indicators of sakinah well-being, including emotional harmony, economic stability, reduced conflict, and strengthened mutual trust. This study contributes to contemporary Islamic legal and family studies by offering a contextual understanding of financial authority within marriage, moving beyond rigid role dichotomies toward value-based partnership models. By linking Islamic financial ethics with measurable dimensions of household well-being, the research provides a conceptual framework that bridges normative doctrine and lived social realities. The findings offer both theoretical enrichment and practical implications for Islamic family counseling, financial literacy initiatives, and policy development to strengthen resilient Muslim families in the modern era.

Abstract

This study investigates the governance of digital yield systems in Indonesian sugarcane partnership schemes by integrating procedural justice theory with contemporary Islamic economic law. It analyses the structural limitations of conventional yield‑determination practices, evaluates the transformative role of digital technologies in enhancing fairness and accountability, and formulates a normative governance framework grounded in procedural justice and Islamic legal principles. Adopting a qualitative socio‑legal approach, the research combines doctrinal analysis of regulatory frameworks with empirical data derived from in‑depth interviews, field observations, and stakeholder engagement in major sugarcane‑producing regions. Findings reveal that information asymmetry, limited farmer participation, opaque measurement procedures, and weak supervisory oversight are frequently characteristic of conventional yield‑determination mechanisms. These deficiencies foster distrust and distributive imbalances within partnership arrangements. The introduction of digital yield systems—marked by data‑driven measurement, traceable production records, and real‑time monitoring—substantially improves procedural transparency and institutional accountability. Digitalisation curtails opportunistic behaviour, strengthens farmers’ access to information, and promotes more balanced decision-making. From the perspective of contemporary Islamic economic law, such governance mechanisms resonate with the principles of ‘adl (justice), amanah (trustworthiness), and shafāfiyyah (transparency), while advancing the maqāṣid‑oriented protection of property (ḥifẓ al‑māl). The study contributes to theory by bridging procedural justice and Islamic economic jurisprudence in the context of digital agricultural transformation. Practically, it offers a policy‑relevant model for equitable, technology‑driven partnership governance that aligns innovation with ethical and normative legal values in agrarian economies.

Abstract

Classical debates on istiḥālah of najāsah typically focus on juristic classification, particularly the extent to which the transformation of an impure substance results in purity and permissibility. In contemporary products—processed foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial bioprocesses, the central problem is not only classificatory but also evidential and accountable. Claims of “transformation” must be normatively justified and empirically traceable at the levels of process, residue, and final product. Therefore, this study aimed to reconstruct istiḥālah of najāsah through the Integrity of Science paradigm, which requires coherence among the ontology of the object, multi-horizon epistemology, proportionate methodology, and an axiological commitment to halālan-ṭayyiban. A conceptual-doctrinal approach was adopted with a layered methodology comprising five layers. These include (i) ontological mapping of the object and supply-chain processes, (ii)normative boundary-setting grounded in scriptural reasoning and maqāṣid orientation, (iii) uṣūlī formalization into operational criteria of istiḥālah and its distinction from istihlāk, (iv) scientific-verification interface through evidence packages involving markers, residues, detection limits, and uncertainty, (v) halal governance evaluation through traceability and cross-contamination control. The reconstruction produces a testable normative-inferential toolkit consisting of an operational definition, criteria set, epistemic thresholds, and a halal-status decision matrix. This toolkit is important due to the ability to convert istiḥālah from an abstract juristic category into an auditable framework for contemporary halal assessment. It differs from previous approaches that tend to isolate juristic classification, laboratory authentication, or certification procedures but instead integrates the factors into one accountable inferential chain. The academic contribution is grounded in bridging uṣūl al-fiqh, scientific verification, and halal governance within one accountable inferential chain, thereby strengthening fatwa argumentation, certification audits, and integrity-based halal studies.

Abstract

This research examines the Gula Satuangan tradition practiced by Muslim communities in the northern coastal region of Central Java as a socio-religious phenomenon through the lens of contemporary maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, with particular emphasis on the principle of maṣlaḥah al-ummah. This qualitative field study was conducted in Tegal-Brebes using a phenomenological approach. Research data were obtained through participant observation, in-depth interviews with traditional practitioners, cultural experts, local academics, and documentary analysis. Analysis was conducted using phenomenological steps: interpretation, exploration, meaning-making, and thematic grouping. The research showed that the Gula Satuangan tradition functions in three domains, namely (1) the sincerity of giving, which was synonymous with birr al-wālidayn and ihsān; (2) the strengthening of family relationships through social gatherings and intergenerational advice; and (3) the circulation of the local economy through the purchase of sugar-and-tea packages ahead of the event. These findings demonstrated that local traditions could be interpreted as living law that aligns with contemporary maqāṣid, particularly the aspect of maṣlaḥah al-ummah. This study extends the theoretical framework of contemporary maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, particularly the notion of maṣlaḥah al-ummah, by demonstrating how normative and empirical maṣlaḥah are integrated through the functional relationship between normative fiqh and local social practices.

Abstract

Rebo Wekasan tradition in Indonesia remains a persistent socio-religious practice. This tradition is practiced by the general public and Pondok Pesantren across rural and urban areas, including Pondok Pesantren Al-Hikmah in Bandar Lampung, located in a diverse urban community. Despite the continued practice, the Rebo Wekasan tradition has received different responses from society. The concept is an act of bid’ah, inconsistent with Islamic teachings, and should be preserved as part of local wisdom. Therefore, this study aims to examine how local religious authorities negotiate the interpretation of Hadīth ahkam related to the Rebo Wekasan tradition. Interviews are conducted with religious leaders, observation, and documentation, supported by the analyses of Hadīth ahkam using the approaches of takhrij, sharh Hadīth, fiqhul Hadīth, and socio-cultural analysis. The results show that the Rebo Wekasan tradition at Pondok Pesantren Al-Hikmah Bandar Lampung consists of voluntary prayers, the recitation of Sūrah Yasin, dhikr, prayers for protection from misfortune, and charitable communal meals. This practice represents the negotiation of the understanding and interpretation of general Hadīth ahkam through the authority of local religious leaders. Kiai at Pondok Pesantren continue to observe Rebo Wekasan tradition despite the absence of any specific textual evidence prescribing the practice. Local religious authorities play an important role in sustaining socio-religious practices as a method of da‘wah and in strengthening silaturrahim in the community and among Pondok Pesantren. This study contributes to academic discussions on the interpretation of Hadīth ahkam by negotiating between textual meaning and religious authority through a socio-cultural approach.
