Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the al-shulhu approach in resolving Islamic economic disputes, particularly in cases of breach of murabahah contracts in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative approach with a library research design, this study collects data from academic journals, books, and regulations such as DSN-MUI fatwas through qualitative content analysis. Source selection was based on criteria of relevance to the topic, recency of publication (focusing on the 2020–2025 range). The findings indicate that al-shulhu, rooted in the principle of sulh in the Qur’an (Surah An-Nisa: 128), is an effective dispute resolution mechanism as it emphasizes justice (al-‘adl), honesty (as-sidq), and mutual consent (ridhā). This approach enables solutions such as financing restructuring or penalty reductions without violating sharia principles, while maintaining social harmony between Islamic banks and clients. However, the application of al-shulhu faces challenges, including the lack of a clear legal framework, inconsistent implementation across institutions, and a shortage of competent mediators with expertise in Islamic law. This study contributes to academic discourse by bridging classical Islamic legal theory with modern dispute resolution practices and provides practical recommendations for Islamic financial institutions and regulators, such as OJK and DSN-MUI, to integrate al-shulhu into the national legal system through clear regulations and mediator training. The study recommends further empirical research to enhance understanding of al-shulhu’s application in religious courts and Islamic financial institutions.

Abstract

The massive growth of online gambling platforms in Indonesia, particularly games like Higgs Domino Island popularly framed as “Scatter Investment” where “Scatter” refers to a special in-game symbol that triggers bonus rounds or free spins and is often associated with large monetary rewards, reflects a dangerous linguistic and legal distortion that normalizes gambling as an investment activity. This article critically examines the phenomenon of “Scatter Investment” through the dual lenses of Maqashid Sharia and Indonesian investment law. Using a normative-juridical and qualitative approach, this research analyzes classical and contemporary fiqh literature, relevant fatwas of the Indonesian Ulema Council, and Indonesian positive law, including Law No. 25 of 2007 on Investment, the Criminal Code (KUHP), the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE), and Qanun Aceh No. 6 of 2014 on Jinayat Law. The study finds that online gambling labeled as investment fails to meet the essential characteristics of investment under both positive law and Islamic economics because it lacks productive activity, creates no real economic value, depends on pure chance, and structurally exploits players. From the Maqashid Sharia perspective, “Scatter Investment” severely violates all five fundamental objectives of the law (al-kulliyat al-khamsah): protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and wealth, as it undermines religious observance, damages mental health, destroys rational decision-making, disintegrates families, and causes severe financial harm. The article concludes that the term “Scatter Investment” is a misleading narrative that must be deconstructed theologically, legally, and linguistically, and that online gambling should be treated as a criminal and moral offense rather than an economic opportunity. Policy recommendations include strengthening law enforcement, tightening financial and digital regulations, and mainstreaming Maqashid-based literacy in public education.

Abstract

Legal systems in multi-religious states often struggle to harmonize Islamic jurisprudence with constitutional equality norms, particularly in gender-sensitive disputes. Existing studies explore either internal hermeneutics of Usul al-Fiqh or external comparative frameworks, but seldom test how their integration affects real-world judgments. The article investigates whether coupling maqāṣid-centred interpretation with procedural adaptability can systematically advance gender-equitable outcomes across pluralistic jurisdictions. An explanatory sequential mixed-method design was applied to 129 appellate judgments, 38 statutes, and 53 qualitative interviews drawn from Indonesia, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. Two original metrics were developed: the Maqāṣid Alignment Index (MAI) measuring doctrinal fidelity to equality and welfare, and the Trans-Systemic Convergence Score (TCS) capturing procedural flexibility, statutory amenability, and outcome parity. Semantic-network analysis identified bridging concepts, while logistic regression estimated the predictive power of MAI and TCS for gender-equitable relief. Judgments situated in the highest MAI–TCS tercile granted equitable remedies in 78 % of cases, compared with 22 % in the lowest tercile. Each one-standard-deviation increase in MAI multiplied the odds of favorable relief by 8.5 (p < 0.001), and a comparable rise in TCS did so by 6.5 (p < 0.01). Network metrics revealed a small-world topology anchored by maṣlaḥa and constitutional equality clauses, highlighting doctrinal nodes where targeted reform can yield maximal systemic impact. Integrating maqāṣid-oriented hermeneutics with adaptive procedural tools provides an empirically validated pathway toward inclusive jurisprudence, offering legislators and jurists a replicable model for aligning Islamic legal reasoning with universal justice norms.

Abstract

This study aims to uncover gender-biased behavior within households in remote areas, while also exploring what Islam truly teaches about the role of a wife. Women living in rural and isolated communities frequently face gender discrimination they tend to be treated as second-class citizens whose sole purpose is managing domestic affairs at home. This kind of treatment gives rise to a patriarchal culture in which husbands dominate and maintain full control over the household, ultimately leading to gender disparity and, further down the line, deeply ingrained gender-biased behavior. This research adopts a normative-empirical approach, drawing on both primary and secondary data sources. The primary data was collected directly from the field specifically from a village in Musi Rawas Regency, Bengkulu while the secondary data was gathered from various books and academic journals. The findings reveal that women in these remote areas experience numerous forms of gender bias, particularly when it comes to the division of roles within the household. Wives are largely confined to childcare and domestic chores, with little to no involvement in decision-making, as that authority is considered the husband's exclusive right. This reflects a clear pattern of marginalization wives are reduced to second-class status and subjected to subordination, denied equal standing with their husbands in both public and domestic spheres. Furthermore, some women are burdened with a double load: they are expected to contribute financially to the family while still shouldering all household responsibilities on their own, without any help from their husbands not even when it comes to raising the children, since the husband sees his only duty as earning a living. This kind of dynamic stands in stark contrast to Islamic teachings, which call for the principle of mu'asyarah bil ma'ruf treating one's spouse with kindness and fairness as well as the principle of mubadalah, which emphasizes cooperation and mutual support, where both husband and wife work together and help each other in fulfilling their respective roles and responsibilities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze restorative justice theory as a foundation for legal certainty in restoring economic conditions and achieving balanced justice for the parties involved in a case. The use of dispute resolution mechanisms, both litigation and non-litigation, is largely determined by the concepts and objectives of dispute resolution sought by the parties, as well as the good faith of each party in resolving the case at hand. Restorative justice emerges as a response to public dissatisfaction with the current criminal justice system. This study employs a library research method, as all data sources are drawn from library materials, while the approach used is qualitative. Data sources consist of primary data in the form of relevant legislation, and secondary data comprising books and scientific journals related to the research theme. The findings indicate that restorative justice provides more tangible legal certainty compared to conventional criminal approaches, as it places the restoration of victims' economic losses as the primary priority through mediation mechanisms and compensation agreements between the parties. Furthermore, this approach has proven capable of creating balanced justice by actively involving victims, offenders, and the community in the dispute resolution process. This study concludes that the internalization of restorative justice principles within the Indonesian legal system needs to be strengthened as a more equitable and economically impactful alternative for dispute resolution.
