Abstract

This article examines the lived experiences of Acehnese women who initiate divorce (khulu’), focusing on the socio-religious, cultural, and legal dimensions that shape their decisions. This study employed a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The study captures the voices of women from various socio-economic backgrounds through in-depth interviews, aiming to explore their motivations, internal conflicts, and post-divorce realities. Findings indicate that marital dissatisfaction, domestic violence, infidelity, economic independence, and growing awareness of women’s rights are key drivers for seeking divorce. Despite strong religious and cultural norms that often frame divorce as morally undesirable, these women navigate complex legal pluralism and social stigma with remarkable agency. The study underscores how intersecting factors, such as patriarchal interpretations of syarī‘ah, customary values, and legal constraints, impact women’s decision-making processes. Ultimately, the article contributes to the discourse on gender justice, Islamic family law reform, and women's empowerment in Muslim-majority contexts. Policy implications include the urgency of expanding legal aid services, gender-sensitive judicial practices, and community education to uphold women’s rights and dignity in the realm of Islamic marital law.

Abstract

Qanun Aceh No. 11 of 2018 mandates that all financial institutions transition to Sharia financial systems. The enactment of this Qanun has led to shifts in market dynamics and increased public trust in Sharia financial institutions. Consequently, this study aims to examine the impact of Qanun Aceh No. 11 of 2018 on the financial performance of Sharia banking in Aceh Province. The research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing secondary data published by the Financial Services Authority. The data pertains to key financial performance indicators of Sharia banking, including assets, financing, and third-party funds, both before and after the implementation of Qanun Aceh No. 11 of 2018. The data is analysed using paired sample t-tests. This research shows that the enactment of Qanun Aceh no. 11 of 2018 is the expected consequence of the existence of a Sharia banking monopoly in the region. This research shows that the enactment of Qanun Aceh no. 11 of 2018 is the expected consequence of the existence of a Sharia banking monopoly in the region. This policy forces all customers, whether individuals, businesses, corporations, or local government funds, to move their accounts from conventional banks to Sharia banks. Thus, the increase in Sharia banking assets and funds is more the result of the relocation of funds previously in conventional banks, not solely due to an increase in public preference for the Sharia financial systems. This finding highlights that the Qanun has enhanced public participation and trust in Sharia banking. The study provides crucial insights into the role of regulations in fostering the development of Sharia banking.

Abstract

This research examines halal medicine in Indonesia from the perspectives of Sharia disputes and state law. This research method has involved qualitative, legal analysis, and field observation. The multidisciplinary approach and triangulation of methods have provided in-depth and valid insights into the complex issue of halal medicine, encompassing Sharia disputes and state law. This research’s findings suggest that research on halal medicine in Indonesia is urgent, considering the issue’s importance from a religious, legal, economic, and public health perspective. In-depth and comprehensive research can help resolve disputes between Sharia principles and state law, increase consumer awareness and trust, and encourage the development of a competitive and innovative pharmaceutical industry. This research concludes an urgent need to bridge the gap between Sharia principles and state law in Indonesia’s halal medicine. Synchronization of state law and Sharia principles in halal pharmaceutical practices in Indonesia is achieved through regulations such as Law No. 33/2014 on Halal Product Guarantee, certification by BPJPH and MUI, public education, and industry innovation, ensuring Sharia compliance without compromising public health. Indonesia can strengthen its position as a leader in the halal pharmaceutical industry while ensuring that public health interests and Sharia compliance can coexist with a more integrated approach, more effective regulations, and increased public awareness.

Abstract

Water resource management is a critical component of environmental sustainability, directly influencing the availability and quality of water for human consumption and ecological systems. Indonesia, as the world's largest Muslim-majority country, faces significant water management challenges, including resource mismanagement, inefficient water systems, and weak institutional framework. However, this study is unique as it develops the comprehensive Sharia-based framework for water governance in Indonesia, integrating Islamic principles particularly Maqashid al-Sharia (Islamic legal objectives) and Fiqh al-Bi'ah (Islamic environmental jurisprudence), as well as Islamic ethics into water resource management to achieve sustainability. Using a normative-juridical and interdisciplinary qualitative approach, the research analyzes Islamic texts, legal documents, environmental data, and expert opinions through content and comparative analysis. The findings reveal that Indonesia’s Water Quality Index (WQI) slightly improved from 53.88 in 2022 to 54.59 in 2023, yet water pollution persisted in 11,019 villages/sub-districts as of 2024, with Central Java being the most affected (1,366 cases). The integrated Islamic framework emphasizes the preservation of life, intellect, wealth, progeny, and religion, aligned with the principles of maslahah (public interest), ‘adl (justice), and khalifah (stewardship). This model offers both normative direction and practical solutions for policymakers, religious authorities, and environmental institutions to address water-related challenges through an ethical and faith-based lens.

Abstract

This research examines the persistence of child marriage in the Madura region through the lens of legal pluralism, particularly the intersections of Islamic, customary, and state laws. Although religious and cultural practices continue to shape norms and values, they often counteract statutory provisions designed to safeguard children's rights. Proposed is a harmonization model that integrates fiqh and customary law with national law, providing cultural legitimacy while protecting children at the same time. Adopting the socio-legal qualitative approach, the research uses a combination of normative legal theory and empirical research conducted in Sampang Regency, which embraced interviews and documentation of court decisions, fatwas, local regulations, and case files on child marriage, with religious leaders, elders, lawyers, judges, parents, and child marriage survivors. Spradley’s ethnographic model guided the analysis in documenting core cultural themes and their components. It is cultural and religious rationalization, along with ignorance of laws and weak enforcement, that continue to allow child marriage. Solid legal reform requires improving child protection by local leaders, educating children's rights, and reframing marriage-age laws from religious prohibitions to administrative restrictions. It gaps legal pluralism and children's rights by cohesive laws, socio-cultural practices, and international human rights.

Abstract

This research elucidates the thoughts on the fiqh of diversity by Zainuddin al-Malibari in the book Fatḥ al-Mu’īn, aiming to conceptually elaborate on Zainuddin al-Malibari's views on the fiqh of diversity and its relevance in fostering harmony in diversity in Indonesia. This research employs a historical approach through library research data. Data analysis involves both content analysis and comparative analysis. The fiqh of diversity elaborated through the concept of jihād by Zainuddin al-Malibari, understood broadly, not just as warfare but also as preaching, can serve as a fundamental value for fostering community harmony in Indonesia. It is essential in maintaining harmony among a society of different ethnicities, religions, and groups. Zainuddin al-Malibari's fiqh of diversity in the book Fatḥ al-Mu'īn emphasizes the importance of realizing the maqāṣid al-sharī'ah principle. Which aims to achieve essential benefits, namely the preservation of religious freedom (ḥifz al-dīn), the protection of every individual's life (ḥifz al-nafs), the safeguarding of the community's economic access (ḥifz al-māl), equal access to education for all members of society (ḥifz al-‘aql), and the protection of the rights of every family (ḥifz al-nasl).
From Digital Religion to Digital Islam: Finding God in the Society 5.0 through Maqāsīd Sharī’ah Maulana, Abdullah Muslich Rizal; Farhah, Farhah; Rachmawati, Fadhillah; Mulya, Annisa Syifa

Abstract

This study researches the development of Digital Islam and attempts to apply Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah (the objectives of the Islamic law) to Society 5.0. It seeks to document the merger of traditional legal wisdom and contemporaneous digital life through content analysis. It starts by proposing an argument that Digital Religion is an important modern debate. Digital Religion is the conversion of holy signs, artifacts and religious/faith-based words from in-person to online mediums, where there is synchronous interaction between the online and offline worlds. This study maintains that Digital Islam is the most advanced expression of this phenomena. Digital interactions, directed toward the attainment of Maṣlaḥah and the avoidance of Mafsadah, ethically contain the use of technology to not be simply instrumental, but to promote good. This study, most importantly, shows how Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah still has relevance in ‘implementing Divinity’ within an ostensibly ‘secular’ Society 5.0. Finally, it discusses the possible points of ‘friction’ and structural impediments that may occur as the intersection of Islamic Digital Ethics and the ever-accelerating, disruptive nature of the new technologies.

Abstract

In the Indonesian Islamic and society context, legal pluralism and interreligious interactions have potential. However, the ongoing and legally interfaith marriage continues to create a paradox. In accordance, the study examines the legal framework of interfaith marriage within the national legal framework, the pluralism in the law, and the judicial system, where legal enforcement is judged by maqāṣid al-sharīʿah principles. With a normative legal approach, this analysis is grounded in primary statutory paradigms, Islamic codifications, secondary administrative laws, and judicial practices and doctrines. Within this context, interfaith marriage has been indicated as an illegal marriage, not legally recognized within the religious framework. Although legal pluralism historically rose to various judicial practices, in Islamic divorce law, considerable differentiation has been eliminated. In creating and maintaining a unified linear hierarchy, subordinate norms must follow the Religious Norms. From the maqāṣid perspective, this unequivocally represents the protection of the Religion, the Preservation of the Order (Siyasah Shariyyah regarding the Ashabiyyah), the Posterity (Nasal), the Soul (Ruh), and the Property (Mal). The findings of this study indicate that Indonesia's regulation of interfaith marriages illustrates the purposeful incorporation of the Islamic law goals into the state’s family law and the strengthening of legal and social order within a pluralistic context.

Abstract

The interdisciplinary field of uṣūl al-fiqh has to come to terms with the difficulties that arise from the consequences of dynamic socio-technology and political changes. While most classical methodologies (especially qiyās and istishāb) tend to become overly focused on cause and text, with little to no attention to the context. There have been a number of studies on Hasan Al-Turabi's legal and political thought, while attention has been scarce for the integration of his reconstruction of qiyās and istishāb, particularly with regard to the development of uṣūl al-fiqh in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze Al-Turabi's concept of expansive logic, particularly in relation to al-qiyās al-wāsiʿ and al-istishāb al-wāsiʿ, and its methodological implications for Islamic legal reasoning in Indonesia. Based on qualitative library research and thematic content analysis of Al-Turabi's main works, the study aims to recover the epistemological and operational foundations of his legal reasoning. The study implied that Al-Turabi's expansive logic constitutes a methodological reconstruction of maqāṣid in such a way that it is not limited to an ‘illah’ based restrictive analogy or an unchanging legal continuity but incorporates justice, public welfare, and social context. Local Indonesian thought reflects sophisticated engagement with the legal nationalism of Hasbi ash-Shiddieqy and Hazairin in respect to contemporary legal issues and ijtihād. This scholarship locates expansive logic and interdisciplinary engagement as a plausible methodological pivot, situating Islamic legal thought in the Middle East alongside innovations in uṣūl al-fiqh in Indonesia.

Abstract

This research aims to explore how interfaith couples experience encounter government intervention in supporting same-faith marriage according to article 2 Marriage Law number 1 of 1974. The study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, direct observations, and an analysis of marriage documents from six interfaith couples located in Surakarta. The participants were specifically chosen as those who had their interfaith marriages acknowledged by the Surakarta District Court and obtained a marriage certificate from the Surakarta City Population and Civil Registry Office. The gathered data were subjected to analysis through the lens of Stella Ting-Toomey’s identity negotiation theory, which highlights four essential skills individuals must possess to effectively navigate differences: self-awareness, awareness of others, adaptability, and empathy. The findings indicate that each interfaith couple in Surakarta engages in negotiation at three key stages: pre-marital negotiations, negotiations occurring during the marriage, and post-marital negotiations. Among the six couples studied, there was no uniformity in the negotiation patterns relating to the governmental-religious obligation that typically favours one-religion marriage. Three distinct negotiation patterns emerged: fully adhering to a state-sanctioned religious marriage, opting for a religious marriage instead of a state marriage, and preferring a state marriage over a religious one.
