Abstract

This research explores how contemporary Islamic legal reform shapes drug policy using the framework of Maqasid al-Shari’ah. In many Muslim-majority countries, drug-related problems are on the rise, and traditional punitive responses—such as mandatory death sentences and corporal punishment—are increasingly questioned for being ineffective and misaligned with core Islamic values. Using a qualitative-normative approach combined with comparative analysis, this study examines statutory frameworks, fatwas, and recent legal reforms in countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Iran. It highlights a growing shift toward maqasid-based reasoning in designing more balanced and humane drug policies. The findings reveal three key trends. First, there is increasing emphasis on hifz al-nafs (protection of life) and hifz al-‘aql (protection of intellect), reframing drug offences not merely as moral or legal violations but as public health concerns requiring systemic solutions. Second, several Islamic legal institutions are adopting harm reduction strategies—such as rehabilitation, decriminalisation of minor drug use, and reintegration programs—framed within the maqasid discourse to uphold human dignity and promote social welfare (maslahah ‘ammah). Third, there is a growing openness toward contextual ijtihad, allowing reinterpretation of hudud and ta'zir punishments considering contemporary realities and scientific evidence. Academically, this research contributes to Islamic legal studies by offering a systematic and comparative analysis of how the principles of Maqasid al-Shari’ah are being operationalised in modern drug policy reform. It fills a gap in the literature by bridging classical Islamic legal theory with contemporary policy needs, particularly in areas often neglected by traditional fiqh discourse, such as drug rehabilitation and public health. The study also advances the methodological integration of maqasid-based reasoning with empirical policy analysis, providing a practical framework for future legal reforms in Muslim-majority contexts.

Abstract

Human trafficking is a profound moral crisis in today’s world, threatening human dignity and fundamental rights on a wide scale. This study explores the issue through the lens of Islamic legal ethics, focusing on the reinterpretation of hifz al-nafs (protection of life) and hifz al-’ird (protection of honor) within the framework of Maqasid al-shari’ah (the higher objectives of Islamic law). Using a normative-critical approach and drawing from both classical and contemporary sources, the research rethinks these two core principles to better respond to the complex realities of human trafficking, which often involves violence, exploitation, and human rights violations. The findings show that hifz al-nafs should not be limited to physical safety but must include psychological, social, and emotional well-being. Similarly, hifz al-’ird must go beyond the narrow notion of personal honor to protect human dignity, moral integrity, and the right to freedom from abuse. The study argues that classical Islamic legal thought needs to be revisited and updated to meet the moral and legal challenges posed by human trafficking today—by incorporating principles of justice, compassion, and human rights. This research makes an academic contribution by re-conceptualizing Maqasid al-shari’ah, especially in hifz al-nafs and hifz al-’ird, enriching the discourse on Islamic legal ethics in addressing modern social issues. It also provides a stronger theoretical basis for contemporary fiqh reform and encourages critical engagement between traditional Islamic texts and today’s ethical realities. Ultimately, this study offers a valuable reference for developing more humane, responsive, and justice-oriented Islamic legal frameworks to protect victims of human trafficking.

Abstract

This article reassesses the effectiveness of the Financial Services Authority’s (OJK) integrated and independent supervisory model in overseeing Islamic banking in Indonesia. At the same time, the model has improved coordination and regulatory efficiency across the financial sector and aligned with Islamic legal principles. Using a normative legal approach supported by socio-legal analysis, the study evaluates how far OJK’s supervisory framework reflects key Islamic values. It draws on statutory regulations, fatwas issued by DSN-MUI, and international standards from institutions like the Basel Committee and the IFSB while incorporating comparative insights from countries like the UK and Germany. The study finds that although OJK’s model is risk-based and structurally sound, it tends to focus more on technical compliance than Sharia's substantive objectives. Key challenges include the limited integration of DSN-MUI fatwas into binding regulatory processes, weak collaboration between OJK and Sharia supervisory boards, and the lack of performance indicators that reflect Sharia values in bank evaluations. Furthermore, global regulatory benchmarks have not been fully adapted to the distinct characteristics of Islamic financial contracts and Sharia-based governance. This article contributes academically by offering a more holistic perspective on financial supervision that bridges positive law and Islamic normative ethics. It recommends strengthening institutional synergy, embedding Sharia objectives into regulatory metrics, and adopting a more responsive, community-grounded supervisory approach. Through these efforts, Indonesia’s Islamic banking sector can become more sustainable, credible, and aligned with national interests and Islamic legal ideals.

Abstract

This study uses a qualitative research design, which is well-suited for examining problematic jurisprudential arguments within Islamic law. Practically, Indonesia and Malaysia serve as key case studies due to their strict adherence to Shafi'i jurisprudence and the varying interpretations of halal certification bodies such as the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and Malaysia's Department of Islamic Development (JAKIM). The qualitative approach enables an in-depth interpretation of how istihalah (transformation) is analysed in different scholarly traditions and its implications for the permissibility of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae as ruminant feed. A textual analysis approach is adopted to examine classical and contemporary Islamic jurisprudence texts. Specifically, this study uses a qualitative research design, which is well-suited for examining problematic jurisprudential arguments within Islamic law. This qualitative approach enables an in-depth interpretation of how istihalah is analysed in different scholarly traditions and its implications for the permissibility of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae as ruminant feed. The findings related to the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae taken from the sample in Mega BSF Sdn. Bhd, Sibu, Sarawak. The findings were presented at Pejabat Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan, Jabatan Mufti Perlis and Jabatan Mufti Sarawak. Based on the above framework, this study redefines istihalah within modern bioeconomies by introducing empirical degradation thresholds as a basis for juristic rulings—a departure from abstract textual analysis. By mapping BSF’s 4:1 waste-to-biomass efficiency to maqasid alshariah objectives, it advances a replicable framework for addressing emerging food technologies in Islamic law.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the practice of endogamy in the Pesantren community of Bandung Regency from the perspective of contemporary Islamic law, by highlighting the tension between social traditions and more universal sharia principles. Endogamy, as a practice of marriage between Pesantren residents, is believed to preserve Islamic values, maintain the honour of the nasab, and strengthen internal social networks. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach through field research, supported by quantitative survey data and normative analysis based on the theory of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah, legal sociology, and contemporary reinterpretation of tradition (urf). Data were obtained through questionnaires and in-depth interviews with students, alumni, and Pesantren leaders. The study results showed that most Pesantren residents supported the practice of endogamy for the similarity in values and maintaining the compatibility of couples based on the principle of kafā'ah. However, most respondents also realized this practice was more traditional than religious. On the other hand, the younger generation had a strong tendency to reassess the relevance of endogamy and the concept of kafā'ah in the modern context. This study concludes that the practice of endogamy and the meaning of kafā'ah in the Pesantren community need to be re-reflected through a contemporary Islamic legal approach that emphasizes the principles of justice, benefit, and respect for individual rights. These findings are expected to encourage a transformation of thinking in the Pesantren community towards a more contextual, inclusive, and progressive understanding of Islamic law.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between financial literacy, financial technology (FinTech), and contemporary innovation in Islamic economic law and how these factors influence the sustainability of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia and Malaysia. Using a qualitative research design, this study gathers and analyses data through comprehensive literature reviews, in-depth interviews with key MSME stakeholders, and targeted surveys involving entrepreneurs within a Sharia-compliant framework. The findings suggest that a high level of financial literacy, effective utilisation of Sharia-based FinTech solutions, and responsiveness to contemporary innovations in Islamic economic law significantly enhance MSMEs' competitiveness and long-term sustainability. These elements facilitate better financial decision-making and operational efficiency and strengthen consumer trust in Sharia-compliant business practices. However, the study also identifies persistent barriers, including uneven financial literacy levels among MSME actors, limited digital infrastructure in rural areas, and insufficient access to appropriate FinTech platforms tailored to Islamic economic values. Furthermore, the research emphasises the critical role of coordinated government policies, institutional support, and multi-stakeholder collaboration in fostering a robust ecosystem that nurtures the growth of Sharia-compliant MSMEs in the digital age. The insights offered by this study contribute meaningfully to the academic discourse on Islamic economics and provide practical recommendations for policymakers, financial institutions, and business practitioners. Ultimately, the research highlights the strategic importance of MSMEs as catalysts for inclusive, ethical, and sustainable economic development in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Abstract

This study critically analyses the implementation of murābaḥah contracts in contemporary Islamic banking through the lens of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah theory. Murābaḥah has long been recognised as one of the dominant financing schemes in Sharia banks, particularly in Indonesia, where it plays a central role in meeting customer needs ranging from consumption to investment. However, in today's context of rapid financial innovation and global competition, questions remain regarding its alignment with the broader objectives of Islamic law beyond mere technical compliance. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilising in-depth interviews, direct observations, and documentation studies. The primary object of inquiry is Sharia banks in Indonesia, with informants drawn from banking practitioners and customers. This dual perspective provides a more comprehensive understanding of how murābaḥah is designed, implemented, and perceived in practice within the dynamics of modern Islamic banking. The findings indicate that although murābaḥah contracts are generally implemented in line with formal sharia procedures, the embodiment of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah values remains partial. Elements such as justice, fair profit, social welfare, and mutual assistance are evident but fragmented and lack institutional standardisation. As a result, the spirit of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah is not yet fully realised in contemporary practice. This study concludes that there is an urgent need to reformulate the strategy and design of murābaḥah products to reflect the holistic objectives of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah better better. This involves preserving wealth and prohibiting usury and safeguarding life, intellect, and lineage. The research contributes by exposing the gap between formal compliance and substantive realisation, offering novelty in reframing murābaḥah as a contemporary instrument for promoting justice, welfare, and sustainable Islamic finance.

Abstract

Indonesia faces a severe solid waste crisis, with more than 60 million tons generated annually. Weak law enforcement and insufficient fiscal support—regional budget allocations averaging only 0.6–1% of APBD, far below the 3% benchmark—have further exacerbated the problem. This study aims to develop an integrative legal framework for sustainable waste management that harmonises national environmental law with contemporary Islamic environmental jurisprudence (fiqh al-biʾah). Methodologically, the research employs a systematic review and doctrinal–normative analysis. Data were collected and classified from national statutes, government regulations, regional bylaws, and peer-reviewed literature, as well as case studies from Surabaya, Banyumas, and DKI Jakarta. These materials were then analysed through the lens of uṣūl al-fiqh and qawāʿid fiqhiyyah, including the maxims lā ḍarar wa lā ḍirār, maṣlaḥah ʿāmmah, ḥifẓ al-biʾah, and the principle of istikhlāf. The findings reveal three critical gaps. First, underfunding hinders early-warning systems and sustainable infrastructure. Second, the absence of faith-based fiscal tools—such as Green Zakat and Eco-Waqf—limits financing capacity and raises questions of compatibility with APBN/APBD structures and formal zakat institutions. Third, regulatory disharmony between central and regional authorities undermines effective coordination. This study proposes a holistic model that mandates a minimum 3% APBD allocation, institutionalises Islamic green finance mechanisms, and scales up municipal innovations such as Surabaya’s community-based 3R programs. It also highlights the socio-political dynamics affecting the acceptance of religiously informed legal frameworks. The novelty of this research lies in embedding fiqh al-biʾah into positive law and policy instruments, offering a faith-grounded yet implementable roadmap for Indonesia’s sustainable waste governance.

Abstract

This article examines the implementation of Restorative Justice (RJ) in Indonesia, focusing on its effectiveness in addressing victims' psychological recovery. Although RJ has been formally incorporated into national regulations, including Supreme Court Regulation (Perma) No. 1 of 2024 and Prosecutor's Regulation No. 15 of 2020, its practical application often prioritises procedural settlement over substantive victim healing. This study employs normative legal research, combining legislative, case, and conceptual approaches, to analyse RJ's legal framework and the structural barriers to its implementation. The findings identify several persistent challenges: the absence of mandatory psychological assessments, limited involvement of mental health professionals, weak post-mediation monitoring, and socio-cultural factors such as victim blaming and third-party interference. These obstacles undermine voluntariness, reduce effectiveness, and prevent RJ from fulfilling its intended role in safeguarding victims' rights and recovery. This study contributes to the literature by emphasising the urgent need to integrate psychological recovery mechanisms into RJ practices, supported by stronger legal provisions and institutional innovations. Policy recommendations include revising victim protection regulations, incorporating professional psychological support, and establishing specialised recovery centres. In this way, RJ can be repositioned as a mechanism for dispute resolution and a comprehensive, victim-centred framework for achieving substantive justice in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of Sharia-compliant compensation schemes in optimizing employee performance through a qualitative approach. Within the framework of contemporary Islamic economics, compensation is not only regarded as a financial reward but also as an instrument of justice, blessing, and adherence to Sharia principles. Sharia-based compensation highlights the ethical and moral dimensions of employee welfare by emphasizing material and spiritual aspects. The study underscores the mediating role of job satisfaction and the moderating influence of religious motivation in strengthening the relationship between compensation schemes and employee performance. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observations conducted at Sharia-based institutions and companies in Indonesia, ensuring contextual depth and reliability of the findings. Thematic analysis indicates that compensation aligned with Sharia values can significantly enhance employee loyalty, strengthen work ethic, and increase overall productivity. Furthermore, the spiritual dimension of compensation is essential in cultivating intrinsic motivation, particularly when supported by an ethical and religious work environment. Integrating material and non-material values creates a more holistic approach to human resource management. The findings suggest that a comprehensive Sharia compensation system has far-reaching implications, as it addresses employees’ financial well-being and contributes to their overall spiritual and psychological welfare. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of developing HR management strategies rooted in Islamic values as a sustainable and effective pathway to improving employee performance and organizational resilience.
