Abstract

Child custody cases have been attended to differently in term of jurisdiction within the frame of Islamic and Nigeria laws. Although like Sharīᶜah, Nigeria laws also emphasize the importance of the interest of the child, despite this, there are numerous dissimilarities that lie between the Islamic and Nigeria laws on the issue of child custody. Therefore, this paper aimed at analyzing the differences that are inherent in the two laws with a view to showcasing the similarities and dissimilarities. It also aimed to assess the Islamic principles governing child custody, including the factors considered in determining the most suitable guardian, the rights and responsibilities of the custodian, and the legal procedures involved. The paper adopted descriptive and analytical methods of research in carrying out the study. The descriptive method was used in explaining how child custody is being maintained under Islamic and Nigerian laws while analytical method was used to discuss the similarities and dissimilarities between the two laws. The paper revealed that the common similarity between them on child custody is in the area of interests of the child in choosing his custodian. It also found that Nigeria law always gives priority to father in most cases in Nigerian customary law except where the child has not reached the age of puberty. The paper concluded that the parents are custodians of their children and are responsible for them before Allah. Therefore, the paper recommended that couples should find possible means of avoiding separation and when it becomes necessary the interest of the children should be given priority.

Abstract

According to many Jewish, Christian, and Hindu opponents of Islam, Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam (The Last and Final Prophet of Islam - Peace Be Upon Him) was a sexual pervert and incestuous father-in-law because he married his cousin and adopted son’s wife called Hazrat Zaynab bint Jahsh (ra). Many Muslim Scholars, Ulemas, Mawlanas, and Clerics have refuted such a blasphemous allegation through the statement that the marriage of Hazrat Zaynab bint Jahsh (ra) with Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam (The Last and Final Prophet of Islam - Peace Be Upon Him) occurred due to a Divine Revelation from ALLAH, The Most Merciful and Most Gracious as stipulated in Surah Al-Ahzab 33:37, 33:38, and 33:39 of The Glorious Quran.

Abstract

A country is prohibited from collecting the wealth of its citizens without any underlying law. Tax is one of the main products of the state and is an important part of financial policy. Scholars argue based on ijtihad that tax (dharbah) is permissible and arises for reasons that are different obligations to the wealth of Muslims compared to zakat. The other side says that there is no tax (which is detrimental) that is permissible or impermissible according to Sharia. Many scholars argue that tax is prohibited and some argue that it is permissible, then we can see tax law, especially in Indonesia, with the maqashid of Sharia. If analyzed with the view of two levels of maqashid of Sharia according to As-Syatibi: Al-Daruriyah & Al-Hajjiyyah. So it can be concluded that consumer tax law is permissible for the sake of the benefit and must be obeyed by those who are obliged to pay consumer tax so that it does not become an unwanted dharuroh.

Abstract

Euthanasia is a global issue that continues to be debated, especially from a legal and ethical perspective. In Islamic law, the principle of protection of life (hifz al-nafs) is the main basis for rejecting the practice of euthanasia. However, there is a fiqh principle Ad-darūrah tubīḥ al-maḥẓūrāt which permits prohibited actions in emergency situations, thus giving rise to debate whether this principle can be applied to euthanasia. This study aims to examine the application of this principle in the context of euthanasia based on Islamic law and compare it with positive legal regulations in various countries. The research method used is a qualitative study with a normative approach, involving literature analysis from classical books, fatwas of scholars, Islamic legal journals, and positive legal regulations. The results show that Islamic law generally rejects euthanasia because it is considered contrary to the principles of maqasid sharia. Although there are fatwas that permit certain medical procedures in emergency situations, euthanasia remains categorized as an act that is not permitted by Islamic criminal law. In contrast, several Western countries have legalized euthanasia with strict regulations, unlike Muslim countries, which generally prohibit the practice. The conclusion of this study confirms that the application of emergency rules in euthanasia must consider the principles of maqasid sharia as well as broader ethical and legal aspects. Therefore, further study and coordination between Islamic scholars, medical professionals, and policymakers are needed to formulate regulations that align with Islamic principles and developments in modern medicine.

Abstract

The meaning of the term quru’ in Surah al-Baqarah verse 228 has long been a subject of classical debate among Islamic jurists, particularly in determining the duration of the iddah for women who have been divorced. The Hanafi and Hanbali schools interpret quruʾ as the menstruation period, whereas the Shafi’i and Maliki schools interpret it as the period of purity. These differing interpretations lead to variations in calculating the end of the iddah, which in turn have legal implications for the woman’s post-divorce status, the validity of reconciliation (ruju’), and legal certainty within the family law system. This article aims to comparatively analyze the views of the two major schools, Hanafi and Shafi’i, using a normative-textual approach while also considering the objectives of Islamic law (maqasid al-shari’ah). The analysis reveals that both schools present strong arguments based on linguistic evidence, hadith, and considerations of public interest (maṣlaḥah), reflecting the richness and dynamism of Islamic legal thought Keywords: Quruʾ, Iddah, Hanafi School, Shafi’i School, Islamic Family Law

Abstract

This article comprehensively examines the Islamic ethics of war, a sophisticated framework deeply rooted in the Quran and Sunnah, often misunderstood as advocating unbridled violence. It delves into the foundational principles that prioritize humanitarian considerations, proportionality, and moral restraint in armed conflict. We explore how classical Islamic jurisprudence, through the works of scholars like Al-Sarakhsi and Ibn Rushd, meticulously codified rules for just cause, legitimate authority, and non-combatant protection, often predating modern international humanitarian law. The article demystifies the multifaceted concept of jihad, clarifying its defensive nature and broader spiritual dimensions. It also analyzes the contemporary relevance and application of these ethics in modern warfare, including challenges posed by cyber warfare and drone technology. Finally, it challenges pervasive misconceptions, emphasizing how authentic Islamic scholarship consistently promotes peace, justice, and strict ethical conduct, offering crucial insights for global conflict resolution.

Abstract

The legality of abortion under Islamic law is a complex and debated topic. Islamic law has varying interpretations regarding abortion. Abortion is generally permitted in Islam if the mother’s life is at risk or in cases of severe fetal abnormalities. However the specific gestational limit for permissibility varies among Islamic schools of thought, the concept of ensoulment, or when fetus is believes to receive a soul, is crucial in determining abortions permissibility. Some interpretations consider ensoulment to occur at conception, while others believe it happens later. Around 120 days after conception. Different schools of thought such as Hanafi, Maliki, Shafii and Hanbali have varying opinions on abortion some are more restrictive,  while others allow abortion under specific circumstances. Analytical research methodology was used in this paper. Data are drawn from books, articles, scholarly journals etc.

Abstract

This study analyzes the intersection between positive law and Islamic law in upholding human rights in Indonesia, focusing on the differences and similarities between the two legal systems in regulating basic human rights, such as the right to life, the right to liberty, and the right to justice. This study employed library research, utilizing library data such as books, scientific journals, manuscripts, and other documents. The results show that positive law and Islamic law differ in several aspects, such as the definition and scope of basic human rights, but also share similarities in several aspects, such as the recognition and protection of basic human rights. This research contributes to the development of law and human rights in Indonesia and provides recommendations for improving human rights enforcement in Indonesia through harmonization of positive law and Islamic law.
