Abstract

The reform of guardianship has become a focal issue in Islamic family law, particularly regarding the balance between religious authority and gender equality. This study aims to analyze the transformation of guardianship law in Tunisia, Egypt, and Indonesia through a comparative perspective grounded in contemporary Islamic jurisprudence. Employing a qualitative approach, this research explores legal documents, statutory frameworks, and scholarly discourses to examine how each country reinterprets the concept of guardianship within its sociopolitical and religious context. The findings reveal that Tunisia, influenced by progressive legal reform, has eliminated the obligatory role of the male guardian in marriage, redefining guardianship as a partnership based on mutual consent. Egypt retains the classical fiqh framework but applies flexible judicial interpretations to safeguard women’s autonomy within the boundaries of Sharia. Indonesia adopts a balanced approach by preserving the guardian’s authority under religious principles while harmonizing it with state regulation through the Compilation of Islamic Law. The study concludes that these variations reflect different paths of Islamic legal adaptation driven by modernity, political transformation, and gender discourse. This research contributes to the development of Islamic legal thought by demonstrating how contemporary jurisprudence can respond critically to evolving demands for equality and justice in Muslim family law.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the dynamics of Islamic family law practices in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Egypt through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates social, cultural, and jurisprudential perspectives. The research seeks to identify how these three dimensions interact in shaping the interpretation and implementation of Islamic family law across different national contexts. Methodologically, the study employs a comparative qualitative design, combining doctrinal analysis of statutory and jurisprudential sources with socio-legal observations of social practices and cultural norms in family-related disputes and policy implementation. Primary data from legal documents and court decisions are examined alongside secondary sources, including scholarly works and policy reports, to ensure a holistic and balanced understanding. The findings reveal significant variations: Indonesia reflects a pluralistic system where social realities, cultural expectations, and jurisprudential interpretations intersect between state law and religious courts; Malaysia illustrates how federal-state relations influence cultural identity and Islamic legal autonomy; and Egypt demonstrates the enduring impact of classical jurisprudence while gradually adapting to modern social and cultural changes. Despite these differences, all three contexts highlight the tension between tradition and modernity in regulating marriage, divorce, and inheritance. The study concludes that only by integrating social, cultural, and jurisprudential analyses can the complexities of Islamic family law be adequately understood, since purely doctrinal or sociological approaches risk oversimplification. Academically, the research contributes to comparative Islamic legal studies by offering a replicable model that foregrounds the social, cultural, and jurisprudential interplay in Muslim-majority contexts, thus advancing interdisciplinary inquiry beyond rhetorical claims toward substantive, evidence-based insights.

Abstract

This study explores the dynamics of marginalized Rohingya refugees’ lives in Aceh from the perspective of Islamic family law. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, the research integrates field observations, in-depth interviews, and normative legal analysis to understand the intersection between social marginalization and family law issues. The findings indicate that Rohingya refugees face multidimensional marginalization encompassing social exclusion, economic instability, and legal uncertainty in family matters such as marriage registration, guardianship, inheritance, and the protection of women and children. The Acehnese community’s attitudes toward the refugees have transformed from initial humanitarian sympathy to social resistance, shaped by misinformation, cultural differences, and limited coordination between governmental and humanitarian institutions. These challenges have exacerbated the vulnerability of refugee families, particularly in gaining access to legal identity and family protection under Indonesian law. From an Islamic family law perspective, the study emphasizes that the principles of ukhuwah Islamiyah, justice (al-‘adl), and public welfare (maslahah ‘ammah) should guide the protection of refugee families as part of the broader Islamic humanitarian responsibility. The study concludes that strengthening the synergy between Sharia principles and Indonesian positive law is essential to create an inclusive legal framework that ensures dignity, justice, and protection for marginalized communities. Academically, this research contributes to contemporary discussions on Islamic family law by offering a normative and socio-legal framework for addressing refugee family issues within Muslim-majority societies.

Abstract

This study addresses the contradiction between the rapid digitalization of social and administrative services and the limited modernization of Islamic marriage systems in the United Kingdom. Conventional marriage registration often lacks efficiency, accessibility, and transparency, creating challenges for couples seeking both administrative and religious validation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the contemporary transformation of Islamic marriage services through the MyNikahNow application, which integrates digital innovation with Islamic legal principles to improve service effectiveness and legitimacy. This research employs a qualitative descriptive–analytical design. The data sources include primary materials, such as interviews with users, Islamic law scholars, and certified marriage officers, as well as secondary materials derived from official documents and academic studies. Data collection techniques involve documentation, online observation, and semi-structured interviews, while data analysis is conducted through thematic interpretation to identify patterns of technological, legal, and social transformation in digital marriage practices. The findings show that MyNikahNow effectively enhances administrative efficiency, reduces errors, and strengthens compliance with Sharia law. The application also bridges traditional religious norms with contemporary digital innovation, offering a new paradigm in managing Islamic marriages within Western contexts. This novelty demonstrates that faith-based services can adapt to digital modernization while maintaining legal and moral integrity. This study contributes to the development of digital Islamic family law and religious governance models. It recommends future research to explore comparative applications in other regions to enhance the inclusivity, sustainability, and contextual relevance of digital Islamic marriage systems.

Abstract

The main problem addressed in this study lies in the contradiction between the enduring cultural practice of pangolo sompa in Bugis marriage traditions and the growing perception that it may conflict with Islamic law in the modern era. This research aims to analyze the existence and transformation of pangolo sompa in Bugis marriage customs in Bone Regency and to examine its implementation from the perspective of al-‘adah muhakkamah in Islamic law. This study is a field research employing a qualitative approach. The data sources consist of community leaders, religious figures, and married couples in Bone Regency. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that pangolo sompa remains significant as a symbol of honor, responsibility, and kinship, although its meaning has shifted due to modernization and changing religious interpretations. The novelty of this study lies in demonstrating that pangolo sompa, when viewed through al-‘adah muhakkamah, aligns with Islamic legal principles as long as it avoids discrimination and excessive burden. The study contributes academically by strengthening the global discourse on the integration of local wisdom and Islamic jurisprudence, highlighting how local customs can coexist harmoniously with religious law in various Muslim societies and offering a model for understanding cultural adaptation within Islamic legal frameworks.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of family financial management in contemporary premarital guidance and its relevance to the realization of a sakinah family from the perspective of maqashid al-shari‘ah. The background of this research stems from the increasing number of marital conflicts and divorces caused by poor financial literacy and economic instability among couples, highlighting the urgent need for premarital education that addresses financial issues. Employing a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, this research collects data through interviews, observations, and documentation at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) Tanjung Raya, which uniquely integrates family financial management into its premarital guidance program. The findings reveal that such integration significantly enhances the financial awareness and responsibility of prospective couples, reduces the potential for economic-based conflicts, and supports sustainable family welfare. The counseling model not only addresses practical financial challenges but also embodies the principles of maqashid al-shari‘ah by protecting religion, life, intellect, lineage, and wealth (hifzh al-din, al-nafs, al-‘aql, al-nasl, and al-mal). Therefore, this study concludes that family financial management in premarital guidance serves as a strategic and preventive instrument for realizing the objectives of Sharia and achieving a sakinah family in the modern context. Academically, this research contributes to the discourse on integrating financial literacy into Islamic family law and premarital education.

Abstract

This research explores the tradition of palangkahan money in marriage practices in Nagari Lubuak Batingkok, Lima Puluh Kota Regency. The objective of this study is to examine the cultural and social significance of the tradition, focusing on its role in family relationships and its alignment with Minangkabau customs. A qualitative methodology was employed, using interviews and field observations with local adat leaders, community elders, and knowledgeable informants. The findings reveal that palangkahan money is not just a financial exchange but a symbolic gesture intended to maintain emotional harmony between siblings, particularly when the younger sibling marries before the older one. The amount of palangkahan money is flexible, varying according to family agreements and the economic capabilities of the parties involved. This adaptability is crucial in maintaining the tradition's relevance in modern times. The study concludes that the tradition of palangkahan money plays a significant role in preserving cultural values, fostering mutual respect, and ensuring family harmony. It also highlights the interaction between Minangkabau cultural norms and Islamic teachings, showing how the practice adapts to contemporary religious and social frameworks. The academic contribution of this study lies in offering a nuanced perspective on how local customs persist and evolve within the context of modern social dynamics. The research also underscores the importance of qualitative fieldwork in capturing the lived experiences of individuals within a specific cultural context.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the judge as a mediator in the resolution of divorce cases in Indonesian Religious Courts, focusing on the effectiveness and challenges faced in the mediation process. Using a qualitative approach, the study collects data through in-depth interviews with judges, mediators, and parties involved in divorce cases, as well as an analysis of relevant legal documents. The findings show that judges play a central role in the mediation process, both as neutral facilitators and as active mediators who can influence the final decision. However, the success of mediation largely depends on the mediator's skills, understanding of the existing laws, and the willingness of the parties to cooperate in the mediation process. Additionally, there are challenges related to the limited training of judges in mediation skills and the lack of clarity in some legal aspects governing mediation in Religious Courts. The study concludes that to improve the effectiveness of mediation in divorce cases, it is necessary to enhance judges' capacities through specialized training and to refine regulations that support better mediation practices. The academic contribution of this research is to provide a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the judge’s role as a mediator in family law contexts and to suggest policies that could enhance mediation practices in Indonesian Religious Courts for more peaceful and fair resolutions.
