Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Islamic legal perspective on the acceptance of gifts by teachers from students or their parents, as addressed in Fatwa No. 039/DFPA/V/1445 issued by the Dewan Fatwa Perhimpunan Al-Irsyad. The research explores how Islamic values influence the ethical boundaries of professional relationships in educational settings. A normative legal approach is employed, utilizing primary sources from the Qur’an, Hadith, and classical as well as contemporary scholarly opinions. The analysis is framed within the principles of justice (‘adl), trustworthiness (amānah), and educational professionalism. The findings indicate that receiving gifts is legally permissible (mubāḥ) if the gift is given sincerely without coercion, undue influence, or expectations of preferential treatment. Conversely, it becomes prohibited (ḥarām) when the gift is intended to sway the teacher's decisions, causes favoritism, or fosters social inequality due to its value or motive. The study offers original insights by contextualizing a contemporary fatwa within classical jurisprudence and modern educational ethics. Its implications emphasize the importance of maintaining teacher integrity and suggest practical guidelines for educators and parents in aligning gift-giving practices with Islamic ethical standards. This research contributes to the broader discourse on professional ethics and Islamic law in educational institutions.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the fatwa issued by Dar al-Ifta concerning solutions to spiritual laziness in worship, focusing on its relevance and applicability in modern Muslim contexts. Employing a qualitative content analysis methodology, the study examines primary fatwa texts alongside classical Islamic jurisprudence and contemporary psychological theories to understand the fatwa’s multi-dimensional approach. The results reveal that Dar al-Ifta advocates a gradual and mindful practice of worship, emphasizing consistent small acts to overcome inner resistance, thereby integrating spiritual and behavioral insights. This approach not only reinforces traditional Islamic teachings but also aligns with modern habit formation principles, making the fatwa particularly relevant for Muslims navigating contemporary challenges such as digital distractions and psychological fatigue. The originality of this research lies in its interdisciplinary analysis, bridging fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) with behavioral science to provide a comprehensive understanding of spiritual laziness and its remedies. The study’s implications extend to religious scholars, counselors, and practitioners, suggesting that fatwas can function effectively as holistic tools that address both spiritual and psychological dimensions of worship. This highlights the importance of contextualizing religious rulings within modern life to enhance their practical impact and foster sustained religious commitment.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the protection of women's rights in the fatwa issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia, MUI) concerning mut'ah marriage, through the lens of the Maṣlaḥah (public interest) principle. The research adopts a qualitative library-based approach, focusing on textual analysis of primary sources such as the Qur’an, classical and contemporary Islamic legal literature, and scholarly articles. Using the Maṣlaḥah framework, the study analyzes the MUI's legal reasoning and its implications for safeguarding women’s welfare. The findings reveal that the MUI fatwa rejects the practice of mut'ah marriage on the grounds that it undermines legal certainty and moral integrity, especially for women, and contradicts the objectives of Islamic law in ensuring justice, protection, and public benefit. The MUI asserts that marriage must comply with both Islamic teachings and national legal standards, including formal registration, to ensure women’s legal protection. This research contributes originality by highlighting how Maṣlaḥah serves not only as a legal tool but also as an ethical framework in contemporary fatwa formulation. The implications of this study suggest that integrating Maṣlaḥah into fatwa development can reinforce the protection of vulnerable groups, such as women, and align religious rulings with broader societal interests.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the methodologies employed by three leading Islamic organizations in Indonesia—Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI), Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), and Muhammadiyah—in formulating legal and ethical guidelines for da‘wah on social media. In an era where digital platforms play a crucial role in religious communication, the study seeks to understand how these organizations address contemporary challenges such as misinformation, radicalism, ethical dilemmas, and the commercialization of religious messages. Methodologically, this research adopts a qualitative approach with a literature review design, drawing on scholarly studies, official fatwas, organizational documents, and related academic discussions. The analysis compares the interpretive frameworks and decision-making processes of MUI, NU, and Muhammadiyah to highlight both differences and commonalities in their approaches to digital da‘wah. The results indicate that MUI emphasizes a normative-legal orientation through fatwas and formal guidelines, NU integrates cultural traditions and fiqh principles with inclusivity and moderation, and Muhammadiyah advances a rational and progressive method grounded in tajdīd (renewal) and scientific reasoning. These methodological differences influence the strategies of each organization, shaping the diversity of content and audiences in the digital sphere. The originality of this study lies in its comparative perspective, which systematically juxtaposes the methodological orientations of the three organizations within the context of digital da‘wah. While existing studies often focus on one organization, this research highlights how their combined presence enriches Islamic discourse online. The implications suggest that recognizing these methodological diversities can enhance the effectiveness, inclusivity, and ethical integrity of da‘wah in the digital age, offering valuable insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in promoting constructive religious communication.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of fiqh siyasah (Islamic political jurisprudence) in state governance and to explore the evolving relationship between religion and the state. As political dynamics shift, the relevance of fikih siyasah in modern governance remains a significant issue in Islamic scholarship. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytical method, this research is grounded in normative theological approaches that refer to fundamental Islamic values. Data were collected and analyzed through a literature-based study, focusing on classical and contemporary Islamic legal texts. The findings reveal two main points: first, fikih siyasah functions as an Islamic legal instrument that guides governmental authority in implementing Islamic laws for societal welfare. Second, the relationship between religion and state is understood through three paradigms: secularistic (separating religion from state), formalistic (asserting Islam as a comprehensive system governing all aspects of life), and substantialistic (emphasizing moral and ethical values without asserting total political control). This study offers originality by mapping these paradigms within the framework of contemporary Islamic political thought, highlighting their coexistence and tension. The implications of this research suggest a need for contextual and balanced interpretations of fikih siyasah to support harmonious relations between Islamic principles and state institutions in pluralistic societies.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reassess the application of the maslahah (public interest) framework in a minority Muslim setting, specifically through an analysis of the 2023 MUI South Sulawesi Fatwa (No. 003) regarding the permissibility of selling crops for pig feed in Toraja. By examining this fatwa, the study aims to contribute to the broader discourse on how Islamic legal reasoning adapts within pluralistic and socio-economically diverse contexts. The research employs a qualitative methodology that combines library research and field study. The library research encompasses Islamic legal sources, previous fatwas, and scholarly literature on maslahah (public interest) and transactions involving prohibited elements in Islam. The field study complements this with interviews involving MUI South Sulawesi scholars and Muslim community members in Toraja, providing insights into both the rationale behind the fatwa and the community’s reception. The findings demonstrate that the fatwa represents a shift from the conventional reliance on blocking the sadd al-dharī‘ah (means to harm) toward a more pragmatic application of maslahah (public interest) and istihsān (juridical preference). By allowing the sale of crops for pig feed, the fatwa acknowledges the socio-economic realities faced by minority Muslims in Toraja and highlights the adaptability of Islamic law in non-majority settings. The originality of this study lies in situating the fatwa within the lived experiences of minority Muslims, showing how maslahah (public interest) functions beyond abstract legal theorization. The implications extend to the development of a more contextual and responsive Islamic jurisprudence that remains relevant to diverse Muslim communities navigating pluralistic societies.

Abstract

This study examines the responses of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah to Government Regulation Number 25 of 2024, which grants mining concession permits to Islamic community organizations, by employing the perspective of fiqh al-bī’ah (Islamic environmental jurisprudence). Using a descriptive qualitative method with a literature-based approach, the research analyzes primary data in the form of official statements and fatwas issued by NU and Muhammadiyah, as well as secondary data from academic literature, policy documents, and studies on mining governance and environmental ethics. The findings reveal that both organizations accept the mining concession policy conditionally, emphasizing the readiness of human resources, institutional capacity, and a strong commitment to environmental protection as fundamental requirements. Their responses consistently underline that mining activities must adhere to the principles of fiqh al-bī’ah, particularly environmental stewardship, social justice, and the pursuit of public welfare (maṣlaḥah). The originality of this study lies in its integration of Islamic environmental jurisprudence with public policy analysis to assess the role of religious mass organizations in extractive industry governance. The study implies that Islamic organizations can function as moral and ethical agents in promoting environmentally responsible mining practices, while also highlighting the importance of embedding Islamic environmental values within natural resource management policies in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of the fatwa methodology of three major Islamic institutions in Indonesia, namely the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), Bahtsul Masā'il Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), and the Tarjih and Tajdid Council of Muhammadiyah in responding to digital transformation through the maqāṣid al-sharī'ah approach. This study uses a qualitative method based on a literature review of fatwas, institutional documents, and the latest academic literature on the epistemology of Islamic law in the digital era. The results of the analysis show that the three have different but complementary epistemological characteristics. The MUI presents an institutional maqāṣidī approach with a regulatory orientation, while NU maintains a model of ijtihād jamā'ī based on classical scientific traditions with a communitarian character. while Muhammadiyah develops an integrative rational framework through the bayānī, burhānī, 'irfānī model that is adaptive to developments in science and technology. In the context of digitalization, all three face the same challenge, namely maintaining scientific authority and the credibility of fatwas amid the proliferation of algorithms and religious content. However, this study emphasizes that the integration of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah values is key to balancing the authenticity of Islamic law and the demands of digital modernity. Therefore, the future direction of fatwa development should not only focus on the digitization of information systems, but also on the reconstruction of epistemological ijtihad towards a responsive digital maqāṣidī fiqh.

Abstract

The recurring phenomenon of money politics in every electoral contest in Indonesia reflects a persistent tension between religious moral authority and electoral political rationality. Although Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Muhammadiyah, and the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) have issued fatwas forbidding money politics as a form of risywah (bribery) that contradicts Islamic principles of justice and trustworthiness, the practice continues to flourish at the grassroots level. This research departs from a central question: why is the fatwa on money politics issued by major Islamic institutions in Indonesia ineffective in shaping the political behavior of the ummah in the Reformasi era? Using a qualitative method framed within the sociology of fatwas and the politics of Islamic law a combined analytical lens that examines fatwas as both normative-legal texts and socio-political instruments, this study analyzes fatwa documents, organizational publications, and elite as well as community responses to the practice of money politics. The findings reveal a process of deauthorization of fatwas, namely the weakening of religious moral authority under the growing dominance of transactional democratic logic and pragmatic electoral rationality. Fatwas function more as symbolic moral references than as effective instruments capable of transforming political behavior. These findings highlight the need to reorient religious authority from a purely normative approach toward an ethical-political praxis that is more responsive to contemporary socio-political realities. The study contributes theoretically by expanding the understanding of the relationship between religion and politics in Indonesia and by enriching scholarly discussions on the effectiveness of fatwas within the modern democratic sphere.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the relevance of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah in facing the challenges and opportunities presented by the Metaverse, as well as offering an adaptive Islamic legal framework for the virtual world. In an increasingly complex digital era, challenges such as the spread of false information, identity manipulation, digital addiction, economic exploitation, and negative impacts on family relationships have become major issues that require a Shariah-based approach. This study uses a literature analysis method by reviewing previous relevant and in-depth research on Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah, digital technology, and contemporary issues in the Metaverse. The results show that Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah can be flexibly applied in five main dimensions: protection of religion (al-dīn), life (al-nafs), reason (al-‘aql), offspring (al-nasl), and property (al-māl). Protection of religion includes the development of virtual spaces that support interactive education and da'wah. The protection of life includes the psychological well-being of technology users through moderation and digital literacy. The protection of reason emphasises the importance of information verification to prevent hoaxes and manipulation. The protection of offspring focuses on Islamic-based platforms to support children's education and strengthen family values. The protection of property highlights the need for Shariah regulation in digital economic transactions to ensure fairness and transparency. This study concludes that Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah is not only relevant but also capable of becoming an ethical and normative foundation for creating an ethical, inclusive Metaverse ecosystem that is in line with Islamic values. This study also opens up opportunities for further study on the practical implementation of Islamic law in the virtual world.
