Abstract

Sharia financial inclusion has significant urgency in economic and social development, especially in countries with a majority Muslim population. Small traders often face difficulties in obtaining financing to support and sustain the growth of their businesses. This descriptive qualitative research, employing an ethnographic approach, aims to document and explore Sharia financial inclusion initiatives carried out by Baitul Mal wa Tamwil Mandiri Mandiri Berkah Sejahtera Sharia (BMT MBS Sharia) in support of the sustainability of small trader businesses. Data collection techniques are through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis involved data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the research show: 1) the implementation of financial inclusion carried out by BMT MBS Sharia by providing easy savings transactions with sharia contracts, implementing a pick-up system with a Jagongan communication pattern, giving direct prizes without drawing lots, and adjusting to the trading times of partners who use the Krempyeng market system in Javanese calendar market days,  2) BMT MBS Sharia adopts local cultural values because they are more acceptable and easy to adapt to the conditions of market traders, and 3) the impact of inclusion carried out by BMT MBS Sharia is that as many as 863 small traders from 15 traditional markets are disciplined in saving, no again trapped by loan sharks,  and has a priority to get a financing program from BMT MBS Sharia, and can set aside to share. In this way, the existence of BMT MBS Shariah, a micro-Shariah financial institution, can help small traders survive.

Abstract

The main problem with waqf land is its lack of formal legal status, as evidenced by the absence of a certificate. To provide legal certainty, the government issued a series of regulations that support the direction of waqf assets, ensuring they are guaranteed and legally maintained. However, in practice, their regulations have become fragmented, leading to overlapping regulations and a lack of synchronisation in institutional procedures. This condition is evident in the city of Tasikmalaya, where there is a data error and the name exchange between Wakif and Nazhir due to the lack of harmonization of regulations. This study aims to analyze the urgency of harmonizing regulations governing waqf land certification to achieve legal certainty and data accuracy. The approach used is a qualitative-normative case study design in Tasikmalaya City. Data was collected through document review, in-depth interviews, and field observations. The results of the study show that there is still disharmony and asynchrony between the practice of implementing waqf laws and regulations and other rules, such as those from ATR/BPN, BWI, and the Ministry of Religion. The implications of this study highlight the importance of establishing an integrated legal framework to prevent administrative errors and improve legal coordination and harmonization in the practice of waqf land certification. The contribution of this research lies in providing a normative basis for waqf regulatory governance reform in Indonesia.

Abstract

The development of Sharia-based business practices can be examined from two opposed perspectives: the Sharia label and Sharia substance. This article aims to analyze and compare the implementation of the ten Sharia principles outlined in DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 108/DSN-MUI/X/2016, which provide guidelines for Organizing Tourism Based on Sharia Principles, within hospitality business entities, including both Sharia-compliant hotels and conventional hotels. These ten principles serve as the theoretical framework and basis for the interview guidelines in this qualitative study. Data were obtained from seven hotel managers who served as informants. This study concludes that the interaction between business practices and religious (Sharia) principles gives rise to three categories of hotels. First, fully Sharia, referring to hotel models that implement Sharia principles comprehensively. Second, partially Sharia, referring to hotel models that implement Sharia principles selectively. Third, limited Sharia refers to hotel models that apply Sharia principles to a limited extent. Several factors influence these three categories: (1) internal rules or policies of the owners; (2) market or customer characteristics; (3) central and local government regulations; and (4) the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI). The urgency of this research lies in demonstrating that Sharia compliance does not always need to be expressed through a formal label; it may also be realized through substantive practices, which are more universally acceptable. Empirical evidence shows, first, that Sharia-labeled business practices are far fewer in number than those without such a label, and second, that upon closer and more profound observation, many unlabeled business practices are already Sharia-compliant. This phenomenon is referred to as substantive Sharia.

Abstract

Technological advancements have shifted the process of knowledge acquisition from textbooks and teachers to individuals independently seeking information through other source. Artificial Intelligence (AI), with ChatGPT as a natural language processing tool, has become one of these references. In Islam, the tradition of learning is emphasized through the transmission of knowledge from teachers, known as sanad, rather than through self-study or autodidacticism. This research focuses on the validity of ChatGPT's responses to user questions on the topic of zakat as one of the pillars of Islam. The study employs content analysis of answers obtained from ChatGPT and compares these responses against three primary references: Yusuf Qardawi's "Fiqh al-Zakat," Ahmad Sarwat's "Encyclopedia of Indonesian Fiqh," and the guidelines from the National Zakat Agency. The scores were determined using a 0 to 5 scoring rubric to assess the degree to which ChatGPT’s responses aligned with the primary references. The findings indicate that ChatGPT's understanding of the basic concepts of zakat has a validity score of 3.58 and a completeness score of 3.75. For the dimension of zakat objects, the validity score is 3 and the completeness score is 3.5. However, for the dimension of modern zakat, the validity score drops to 1, with a completeness score of only 0.5. Therefore, the use of ChatGPT as a learning tool for the topic of zakat should be considered a supplementary resource rather than a primary reference. Users of ChatGPT are advised to continue consulting authentic and authoritative references for deeper understanding.

Abstract

This research aims to reconstruct the concept of ḥaḍānah (childcare) by shifting from a patriarchal orientation to a relational justice model from the perspective of fiqh mubādalah. Through the analysis of maṣlaḥah mursalah as the basis for the renewal of Islamic family law, this study addresses the practice of ḥaḍānah in classical fiqh, which tends to be oriented towards a patriarchal structure that hierarchically assigns roles to mother and father. The fiqh mubādalah approach offers a relational paradigm that promotes gender justice by emphasizing the principle of reciprocity (mubādalah) in parenting responsibilities. Through a qualitative method with a normative-philosophical approach, this study examines classical and contemporary fiqh texts and reinterprets the concept of ḥaḍānah based on the principle of maṣlaḥah mursalah, which is contextual and dynamic in Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia. The results of the study show that maṣlaḥah mursalah functions as an epistemological instrument to shift the paradigm of Islamic family law toward a relational justice model. This reconstruction emphasizes the importance of rearranging ḥaḍānah norms to be more in line with maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah and modern social realities, while strengthening the position of fiqh as a social ethical system that is adaptive to changing times.

Abstract

A methodological dichotomy between normative jurisprudential approaches and empirical socio-legal perspectives has long fragmented Islamic family law, resulting in inconsistent responses to contemporary challenges. This article addresses this gap by operationalising a monistic paradigm as a concrete epistemological framework for legal reconstruction. Rather than an abstract philosophical concept, monism is defined here as a structured synthesis of textual sources, empirical socio-legal realities, and policy-judicial applications, all anchored in maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. Methodologically, the study employs a qualitative-comparative design with a normative-empirical orientation. Data comprises primary legal texts, contemporary court decisions, and interdisciplinary socio-legal literature. The framework’s applicability is demonstrated through targeted case studies, digital divorce validation and women’s inheritance rights, which serve as analytical lenses to show how monistic reasoning reconciles classical norms with modern shifts without compromising normative integrity. The findings indicate that monism successfully bridges theoretical fragmentation into an actionable reform methodology. Practically, it equips policymakers and judges with a coherent, maqāṣid-driven tool for drafting adaptive legislation, thereby offering a replicable pathway for achieving religiously grounded yet socially responsive legal harmonisation in contemporary Muslim societies.

Abstract

This study examines the Bobango traditional sanctions practiced in Wayaua Village, South Halmahera, through the lens of restorative justice principles and the Islamic concept of Sulh. Bobango represents a customary conflict resolution mechanism involving deliberation between perpetrators' families, victims' families, and traditional leaders to achieve reconciliation through compensatory fines. Using conceptual and reflective approaches, this research analyzes how Bobango embodies the fundamental characteristics of restorative justice, particularly through its participatory dimension (involving all affected parties in inclusive decision-making) and its restorative dimension (focusing on repairing harm rather than punishing offenders). The findings reveal that Bobango functions as an authentic form of indigenous restorative justice that has been empirically tested for centuries within Indonesian society. Furthermore, from an Islamic legal perspective, Bobango demonstrates perfect harmonization with Sharia principles, operating as a majlis sulh (peace council) where fines serve as badal al-sulh (legitimate compensation) and potentially as ta'zir bi al-mal (financial sanctions for communal benefit). This study concludes that Bobango represents both indigenous and Islamic restorative justice, proving that legal pluralism in Indonesia can function harmoniously when customary law, Islamic law, and national law mutually reinforce each other in realizing substantive justice for a pluralistic society.

Abstract

Sharia compliance serves as an instrument for standardizing the measurement of halal-related assessments. However, in both practice and regulation, the halal tourism industry has not given sufficient attention to these indicators. This study aims to analyze the regulatory framework governing halal tourism and to examine the extent to which sharia compliance has been implemented by halal tourism operators in Banda Aceh City. This research employs an empirical-qualitative approach conducted in Banda Aceh City. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and field observations, guided by Banda Aceh City Qanun Number 3 of 2022 on the Implementation of Halal Tourism. The findings indicate that regulations governing the halal industry are stipulated in Banda Aceh City Qanun Number 3 of 2022 on the Implementation of Halal Tourism, which is substantively based on the DSN-MUI Fatwa on halal tourism. In this regard, sharia compliance implemented by tourism operators in Banda Aceh City has conformed to the prevailing regulatory provisions. This research emphasizes that the internalization of Sharia principles in the Halal Tourism Qanun has been maximally absorbed, resulting in safe, comfortable, and sustainable halal tourism practices.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the zakat status of non-fungible token (NFT) creator earnings in Indonesia and to formulate an appropriate payment mechanism from the perspective of Islamic finance and national regulation. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach based on library research and semi-structured interviews, involving key informants from the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) and the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, supported by zakat jurisprudence, regulatory documents, and relevant NFT literature. The findings show that the object of zakat does not lie in the NFT as a digital token itself, but in the income realized from sales and royalties. Such income is more appropriately classified as income or professional zakat, with a nisab equivalent to 85 grams of gold and a 2.5% rate after fulfilling the requirements of haul and lawful ownership. The study also finds that, in the Indonesian context, zakat on NFT creator earnings cannot yet be paid in cryptocurrency due to both regulatory and Sharia considerations; therefore, such earnings must first be converted into lawful local currency. This study recommends the development of clearer zakat guidelines for digital assets, broader empirical research on NFT creators, and a more adaptive regulatory framework in response to the expansion of the digital economy.

Abstract

This study examines the determinants of purchase intention toward illegally imported second-hand clothing (clothes thrifting) among Muslim university students in Bandung, Indonesia, with specific attention to the moderating roles of legal awareness and Islamic consumption ethics. Employing a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 216 respondents through purposive sampling and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The study addresses a novel intersection in the literature by testing whether religiously grounded ethical frameworks and regulatory knowledge function as behavioral moderators in the context of a legally prohibited consumer market. The results demonstrate that price, brand image, and lifestyle each exert a significant positive effect on purchase intention toward illegally imported second-hand clothing. Critically, both legal awareness and Islamic consumption ethics significantly weaken these relationships, functioning as normative and ethical constraints on consumer behavior. These findings contribute empirical evidence to the intersecting literatures of consumer behavior, Islamic economics, and regulatory compliance. This study advocates an integrative policy approach that leverages Islamic legal education and ethical literacy to direct consumer behavior toward legitimate and domestically oriented fashion consumption.
