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.

Abstract

Unity in determining the Hijri month’s beginning remains a significant issue in the Muslim world, including Indonesia. Muhammadiyah has proposed the Single Global Hijri Calendar (KHGT) as a scientific and integrative solution to standardize Islamic dates worldwide. This study aims to measure the levels of awareness, understanding, acceptance, and readiness of Indonesian Muslims toward the KHGT initiative. Using a descriptive-quantitative approach, data were collected from 300 online respondents via a Likert-scale questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation analysis. The results show that all indicators fall within the high category: awareness (3.96), understanding (3.83), acceptance (4.32), and readiness (4.20). The correlation results between variables are significant and positive, with the strongest relationship found between awareness and understanding (r = 0.865). These findings indicate that higher awareness and understanding contribute to greater public acceptance of and readiness to adopt the KHGT. However, the dominance of Muhammadiyah respondents (88.9%) highlights the need for broader cross-organizational outreach. This study provides empirical evidence supporting the diffusion of religious innovations and underscores the importance of communication strategies that combine scientific education and cultural da’wah to promote the global adoption of the KHGT.

Abstract

The Indonesian Islamic Da’wa Institution (LDII) has a different marriage arrangement from most. In the matchmaking process, they have a marriage team responsible for overseeing it and facilitating an unregistered marriage (nikah dalam). An unregistered marriage is a marriage contract carried out by the congregation before a marriage is performed in the Office of Religious Affairs. This study aims to analyze the matchmaking process and the unregistered marriage practice carried out by the LDII in Sawoo Village, Ponorogo, Indonesia, utilising a Sociology of Law approach and the Structural-Functional (AGIL) framework. This study employed a descriptive-qualitative approach to describe and analyze the phenomenon. The findings show that the practice of nikah dalam in the LDII community is influenced by cultural, social, biological, and personality systems.  Furthermore, it is also an effort to maintain a system that has become a stable norm in the community because it meets four functional requirements. They are Adaptation, Goal Attainment, Integration, and Latency. Therefore, the system remains alive and runs well, preventing conflict. This paper contributes to studies in the Islamic Family Law, especially, regarding traditions and marriage practices in Indonesian religious organizations. This study also provides a detailed account of how religious authority acts as the primary legal actor in enforcing the community's internal rules.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the urgency of legal protection for Muslim consumers in Indonesia through halal certification, in line with the enactment of Law Number 33 of 2014 on Halal Product Assurance (UU JPH). The main objective of this study is to analyze the implementation of the UU JPH in halal certification practices and evaluate its effectiveness from the perspective of maqashid syariah. This research employs a normative juridical method using statute, conceptual, and maqashid-based approaches, and utilizes primary, secondary, and tertiary legal data, analyzed descriptively and analytically using content analysis techniques. The findings show that the implementation of the UU JPH is a strategic step in providing legal certainty regarding the halal status of products circulating in Indonesia. However, its execution still faces challenges, such as the low preparedness of small business actors and the limited number of halal auditors. Institutional strengthening and public education are needed to ensure more effective and equitable halal certification. Furthermore, this study affirms that the obligation of halal certification serves as a form of protection for the constitutional rights of Muslim consumers, guaranteed by national law and reinforced by administrative and criminal sanctions for violators. From the perspective of maqashid syariah, halal certification not only functions as a formal legal mechanism but also serves as an instrument to safeguard the fundamental values of human life. It ensures product compliance with sharia principles, preserves faith, health, and community welfare, and prevents moral and economic harm.

Abstract

The spread of moneylenders (rentenir), online lending (pinjol), and online gambling (judol) in Central Java threatens the resilience of Muslim families both economically and through addictive behaviors. In rural areas such as Winong and several sub-districts in Pati, rentenir remain the primary source of financing for farmers and micro-entrepreneurs who are excluded from formal financial services, while judol proliferates through local networks and simple mobile devices. In contrast, in urban areas such as Genuk and several sub-districts in Semarang, pinjol has expanded rapidly due to digital penetration, lenient requirements, and aggressive promotion, typically used for urgent needs and non-productive consumption. Field data indicate that 38% of Muslim families in Pati have dealt with rentenir, 21% have engaged in judol, while 41% of Semarang families accessed pinjol in the past three years.This research uses a phenomenology approach, viewed from the perspective of maqasid sharia, covering two villages in Winong-Pati and two sub-districts in Genuuk -Semarang City Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with 24 informants—including household heads, spouses, religious leaders, and local officials—supplemented by participatory observation to capture family coping strategies under economic strain. Using Miles & Huberman’s interactive model, data analysis involved reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Findings highlight two points. First, the practices of loan sharks, pinjol, and judol significantly undermine family resilience across economic stability, marital harmony, child-rearing quality, and socio-religious engagement. Second, although rural and urban contexts differ in forms of involvement, consequences converge on psychological distress, domestic conflict, weakened parenting, and declining social participation. These results underscore the relevance of maqasid al-shariah in protecting families from riba and gharar, reinforcing the ethical foundation of fiqh muamalah
