Abstract

This study examines the beras kafarat tradition in Tebing Tinggi, Kerinci Regency, Jambi, Indonesia, highlighting its religious and social significance in death-related rituals using the al-‘urf approach within the scope of the contextualization of Shari'a, considering the limited Muslim population. This tradition serves as an atonement for the deceased who may have neglected religious obligations, fostering solidarity in the community and a sense of unity amidst the pressures of modernization. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews and observations, involving local residents and ninik mamak (community elders) for a deeper understanding. The findings reveal that the beras kafarat tradition is not only a religious act but also provides emotional comfort to grieving families, alleviating the social pressures they face after the death of a loved one. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the role of the younger generation in preserving this tradition, as their involvement is crucial for its continuity. Adapting traditional practices to suit the modern context without losing cultural and religious values is also important. Overall, the sustainability of the beras kafarat tradition relies on educational and communal efforts to preserve this cultural heritage. This study aims to enhance understanding of the interaction between tradition, religion, and social dynamics in Indonesian Muslim society and to encourage dialogue on the importance of preserving traditions amidst societal change.

Abstract

The increasing phenomenon of individuals choosing to be single in the modern era is a significant social change. Various factors such as career busyness, individual freedom, and changes in social values ​​have influenced people's mindsets towards the institution of marriage. This study analyzes how the critical reasoning of the Qur'an responds to the phenomenon of being single with a multidisciplinary approach that combines the historical reasoning of Muhammad Arkoun, the epistemology of Al-Ghazali, and the fiqh of ikhtilaf of Ibn Rushd. The research method used is library research, by making the Qur'an as the main source in responding to the law of celibacy (rahbaniyah). Secondary data was obtained from relevant books of interpretation, history, sociology, and psychology. The results of the study show that although Islam does not absolutely prohibit individuals from being single, marriage remains an institution recommended in Islam to maintain social stability and the sustainability of civilization. In the dialectical analysis, it was found that Arkoun emphasized the historical and social context in understanding Islamic teachings, while Al-Ghazali saw the spiritual and moral aspects of the individual in the decision to be single. Ibn Rushd, with his ikhtilaf fiqh approach, emphasized that marriage has flexible laws depending on the individual and social conditions. Therefore, this study concludes that marriage is more recommended than being single because it has broader benefits in social, economic, and psychological aspects, although it still provides space for individuals to consider their personal conditions.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of preventing marriage known as "Ngalor Ngulon" in Tumpakkepuh Village, which is primarily Muslim. This custom forbids marriage if the prospective groom's residence is situated in the north-west direction relative to the prospective bride's residence, as it is considered to result in calamities such as discord, mortality, or financial hardships. This research employs a qualitative methodology utilizing a sociological-legal framework. Data were collected via interviews with village heads, traditional authorities, religious leaders, and community members, in addition to direct observation. Literary analyses pertaining to Islamic jurisprudence concerning 'urf and matrimony further substantiate this research. The study's findings indicate that the practice of "Ngalor Ngulon" is categorized as 'urf fasid due to its lack of foundation in Islamic law. Islam does not forbid marriage depending on the orientation of the residence; instead, it underscores the fundamental principles and prerequisites of marriage. This tradition is preserved as a cultural heritage. This study aims to enhance the community's comprehension of the Islamic notion of marriage and to illuminate scholars' perspectives on the interplay between local customs and sharia law.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan ketentuan ‘iddah qabla al-dukhûl (masa tunggu sebelum terjadinya hubungan suami istri) dalam pandangan hukum Indonesia dan Brunei Darussalam. Penelitian ini berjenis Yuridis Normatif dengan pendekatan perbandingan atau komparatif melalui data sekunder berupa aturan perundang-undangan yang di analisis secara normatif kualitatif. Berdasarkan hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa ketentuan, ‘iddah di Indonesia diatur dalam Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI), yang tidak mewajibkan ‘iddah bagi wanita yang bercerai sebelum terjadinya hubungan fisik. Sementara itu, Brunei Darussalam, yang menganut hukum Syariah, mewajibkan ‘iddah meskipun perceraian terjadi sebelum hubungan seksual, dengan ketentuan larangan menikah dengan orang lain tanpa izin hakim Syariah. Perbedaan ini dipengaruhi oleh faktor sosial, budaya, dan hukum adat setempat dalam menetapkan ketentuan hukum keluarga Islam.

Abstract

Fenomena Marriage is Scary di kalangan Generasi Z semakin marak dan mencerminkan perubahan persepsi serta sikap terhadap pernikahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana komentar di media sosial, khususnya TikTok, mencerminkan persepsi Generasi Z terhadap pernikahan dalam konteks fenomena ini. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif-analitis, sebanyak 63 komentar dikumpulkan dari unggahan TikTok yang membahas tren Marriage is Scary antara November 2024 hingga Januari 2025. Hasil analisis mengidentifikasi lima tema utama: ketakutan terhadap pasangan, ketidakpastian masa depan, konflik dalam rumah tangga, ketakutan finansial, dan pengaruh media sosial. Ketakutan terhadap pasangan menjadi kategori paling dominan, dipengaruhi oleh pengalaman pribadi dan eksposur terhadap narasi negatif mengenai kekerasan dalam rumah tangga serta kegagalan pernikahan. Faktor ekonomi dan ketidakstabilan finansial juga berkontribusi terhadap keputusan Generasi Z untuk menunda pernikahan, sementara ekspektasi sosial dan konflik rumah tangga semakin memperkuat skeptisisme terhadap institusi pernikahan. Dari perspektif sosiologi hukum Islam, fenomena ini mencerminkan tantangan dalam mengharmonisasikan norma hukum Islam dengan realitas sosial yang terus berubah. Hukum Islam menekankan keseimbangan dalam hubungan suami-istri, namun dalam praktiknya masih dipengaruhi oleh ekspektasi budaya patriarki yang menimbulkan kekhawatiran, terutama bagi perempuan. Studi ini menyoroti perlunya edukasi pranikah yang lebih inklusif, tidak hanya berfokus pada aspek normatif tetapi juga mempertimbangkan realitas sosial dan psikologis generasi muda. Penelitian lebih lanjut dapat mengeksplorasi pengaruh pendidikan agama, kebijakan negara, dan peran keluarga dalam membentuk persepsi pernikahan, serta mengembangkan strategi hukum Islam yang lebih adaptif terhadap perubahan sosial.

Abstract

This study examines the inheritance distribution practices among the Betawi indigenous community in Kapuk Village, Cengkareng District, West Jakarta, through the theoretical lens of maqashid al-syariah as articulated by Muhammad al-Tahir ibn Asyur. Employing an empirical legal research design with a socio-legal approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five families of testators and heirs, community leaders, and complemented by secondary sources, including Islamic jurisprudence literature and customary law documents. The findings reveal that inheritance distribution in this community predominantly occurs during the parents’ lifetimes through inter vivos transfers (hibah), deviating from the classical faraid system. Parents allocate property based on subjective criteria such as emotional proximity, filial responsibility in eldercare, and residential proximity rather than the Quranic proportional shares. While this practice reflects deeply embedded Betawi cultural values of family-centrism (kekeluargaan) and social harmony (keselametan), it frequently generates latent disputes due to the absence of formal documentation and witnesses. Nevertheless, through the analytical framework of maqashid al-syariah, this study argues that such practices align with the higher objectives of Islamic law, particularly the principles of maslahah (public benefit), al-musawah (substantive equality), sadd al-dzariah (prevention of harm), and social stability. This study contributes to the discourse on legal pluralism in Muslim-majority societies by demonstrating how indigenous communities negotiate between customary practices and Islamic legal norms through contextual ijtihad.

Abstract

Marriage annulment due to fraudulent misrepresentation remains a critical yet under-examined phenomenon in Indonesian Islamic family law jurisprudence. This study aims to analyze the judge’s legal reasoning in Decision Number 1380/Pdt.G/2019/PA.Ckr at the Cikarang Religious Court concerning marriage annulment due to spousal fraud, and to evaluate the decision through the lens of maqasid al-shariah theory. This research employs a qualitative approach with normative-juridical legal research design. The primary data source consists of the court decision document, supplemented by statutory provisions and relevant Scopus-indexed scholarly literature. Data were analyzed through content analysis and the maqasid al-shariah framework at three hierarchical levels: daruriyyat, hajiyyat, and tahsiniyyat. The results demonstrate that the judge’s decision exhibits legal coherence with Article 27(2) of the Marriage Law and Article 72(2) of KHI regarding marriage annulment on grounds of fraud. Furthermore, the maqasid al-shariah analysis reveals that the annulment decision fulfills the five essential objectives (al-daruriyyat al-khams): protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on the intersection of Islamic legal philosophy and positive law application in Indonesian Religious Courts.

Abstract

The escalating prevalence of divorce cases attributable to domestic violence (KDRT) in Indonesia underscores the critical need for effective judicial intervention. This study examines the multifaceted role of judges at the South Jakarta Religious Court in preventing divorce resulting from domestic violence, evaluates the alignment of judicial practices with Islamic legal principles, and identifies the mechanisms employed in resolving such cases. Employing a qualitative case study methodology, primary data were gathered through in-depth interviews with a mediator judge and direct observations of mediation and court proceedings, complemented by secondary data from Islamic jurisprudence literature and official court documentation. The findings reveal that judges function as both law enforcers and mediators, systematically identifying domestic violence through evidentiary assessment and witness testimonies, and facilitating mediation using caucus techniques that allow victims to communicate without coercion. This judicial role aligns with the Islamic principles of justice (al-‘adl) and the protection of life (hifz al-nafs) within the maqāsid al-sharī‘ah framework. Although complete reconciliation remains rare, partial mediation outcomes demonstrate significant value in reducing future conflict.

Abstract

Program Keluarga Berencana (KB) merupakan upaya penting dalam mengendalikan pertumbuhan penduduk dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan keluarga. Menurut perspektif Hukum Islam, KB dibenarkan selama bertujuan menjaga kesehatan ibu, menjarangkan kelahiran, dan meningkatkan kualitas keluarga, bukan untuk membatasi keturunan secara permanen. Prinsip ini sejalan dengan maqashid syariah, khususnya dalam menjaga keturunan (hifz an-nasl). Dari sisi medis, KB berperan dalam mencegah risiko kesehatan akibat kehamilan berulang dan menurunkan angka kematian ibu serta bayi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif-normatif, melalui studi literatur dari jurnal, buku, dan fatwa ulama untuk menganalisis harmonisasi antara hukum Islam dan ilmu kesehatan dalam pelaksanaan program KB. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat titik temu antara nilai syariat dan pertimbangan medis, di mana keduanya sama-sama menekankan aspek kemaslahatan, kesehatan, dan kesejahteraan keluarga. Dengan demikian, KB dalam perspektif Islam dan kesehatan dapat menjadi bentuk harmonisasi antara ajaran agama dan ilmu pengetahuan modern dalam upaya mewujudkan keluarga yang sehat dan sejahtera.

Abstract

This study examines family resilience among couples in South Jakarta where wives earn higher incomes than their husbands, analyzing communication patterns and role division through the Islamic perspectives of Mubadalah (reciprocity) and Qawwamah (guardianship). Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews with 15 married couples in the Pesanggrahan sub-district, categorized into harmonious, conflict-prone, and divorced households. The findings reveal that family resilience is significantly influenced by open communication and equitable distribution of household responsibilities. Harmonious couples practicing Mubadalah principles demonstrated adaptability by reinterpreting roles, with husbands contributing to domestic tasks while wives served as primary earners, fostering mutual respect and emotional closeness. Conversely, households with rigid adherence to traditional gender roles experienced conflicts stemming from unclear role boundaries, emotional withdrawal, and husbands’ feelings of inadequacy, often leading to marital dissolution. The study underscores the need to reinterpret Qawwamah in a contextual light, emphasizing functional leadership grounded in emotional and spiritual support rather than solely in financial provision. It also highlights the relevance of the Islamic legal maxim taghayyur al-fatwa bi taghayyur al-zaman wa al-makan (legal rulings change with changing times and places) in accommodating contemporary socio-economic realities. The research contributes to understanding how Islamic values and modern gender dynamics intersect, offering insights for strengthening family resilience through enhanced communication, reciprocal role-sharing, and context-sensitive interpretations of religious teachings.
