Abstract

Purpose – This study examines the concept of relational justice in Islamic inheritance law in response to the growing tension between classical legal doctrines and contemporary transformations in gender roles within Muslim societies. While existing studies have explored gender justice, maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, and mubādalah approaches, an integrated theoretical framework for reinterpreting inheritance distribution remains underdeveloped. This research aims to formulate relational justice as a conceptual framework that bridges classical Islamic legal principles and contemporary socio-economic realities. Method – This study employs a qualitative normative–conceptual approach grounded in maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah and legal hermeneutics. Primary sources include Qur’ānic verses on inheritance (Q.S. al-Nisā’: 7, 11, 12, and 176), relevant ḥadīth, and provisions of the Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI), supported by both classical and contemporary scholarship. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, legal hermeneutics, and maqāṣid-based reasoning. Findings – The findings reveal that classical distributive paradigms—particularly the 2:1 inheritance ratio—are historically grounded in gendered economic responsibilities that have shifted in contemporary contexts. Relational justice offers a context-sensitive framework by emphasizing social relations, reciprocal responsibilities, and actual economic contributions within the family. This framework enables reinterpretation while remaining aligned with the ethical objectives of Islamic law. Research Implications – This study is limited to normative and conceptual analysis and does not include empirical investigation. Future research is needed to examine the application of relational justice in judicial practices and within Muslim societies. Originality/Value – This study contributes by proposing relational justice as a distinct theoretical framework that integrates maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, emancipatory fiqh, and qirā’ah mubādalah into a coherent analytical model, offering a more contextual approach to Islamic inheritance law.

Abstract

Purpose – The philosophy of science seeks to formulate the conceptual foundations that define the identity, structure, and purpose of a scientific discipline. Within the Islamic intellectual tradition, this function is represented by Mabādi’ ‘Asyarah, a framework consisting of ten fundamental principles used to establish the scientific foundations of knowledge. While National Fiqh (Fiqh Kebangsaan) developed by Lirboyo Islamic Boarding School has gained scholarly attention in discussions on religious moderation, nationalism, and pesantren-based Islamic thought, its epistemological foundations remain insufficiently explored. This study aims to reconstruct the scientific structure of National Fiqh through the framework of Mabādi’ ‘Asyarah and to examine its position within contemporary Islamic legal studies. Methods – Employing qualitative library research, this study analyzes the three volumes of Fikih Kebangsaan published by Lajnah Bahtsul Masail (LBM) and HIMASAL, complemented by classical Islamic sources, contemporary scholarship, and literature on philosophy of science. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically using the ten principles of Mabādi’ ‘Asyarah as the primary analytical framework. Findings – The findings demonstrate that Mabādi’ ‘Asyarah systematically constructs the epistemological identity of National Fiqh through its definition (al-ḥadd), object of study (al-mawḍū‘), sources of knowledge (al-istimdād), methodological orientation, and societal objectives (al-thamrah). The study further reveals that National Fiqh functions not merely as a practical response to socio-political challenges but as a contextual jurisprudential paradigm rooted in pesantren epistemology and oriented toward public welfare within the Indonesian nation-state. Research implications – This article contributes to contemporary Islamic legal studies by demonstrating how the classical framework of Mabādi’ ‘Asyarah can be employed to formulate a coherent epistemological model for contextual Islamic jurisprudence.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines judicial reasoning, disparities in the standard of proof, and the reconstruction of judicial reasoning regarding the proof of cyber infidelity in divorce cases in the Indonesian religious courts. The study stems from the lack of operational standards of proof regarding the use of digital communications as evidence of marital discord in the digital age. Methods – This study employs a normative legal methodology with a case-based approach, analyzing ten divorce rulings from the South Jakarta Religious Court in 2024 involving allegations of cyber infidelity through WhatsApp conversations, social media, and other forms of electronic communication. The analysis was conducted qualitatively, focusing on four indicators: admissibility, authentication, correlation of evidence, and substantive relevance of electronic evidence. Findings – The results of the study reveal three main findings. First, all rulings formally accepted electronic evidence but did not treat it as standalone or conclusive evidence. Second, the majority of rulings required corroboration through witness testimony, admissions by the parties, and narratives of domestic conflict to strengthen the probative value of digital communications. Third, none of the cases involved digital forensic examination; therefore, judges relied more on contextual and relational assessments in determining the reliability of electronic evidence. Consequently, cases with similar factual patterns resulted in different evidentiary assessments. This study argues that the primary issue in proving cyber infidelity does not lie in the admissibility of electronic evidence but rather in the absence of structured parameters for judicial reasoning when assessing the authentication and substantive relevance of digital evidence. Research implications/limitations – This study offers a reconstruction model that integrates the theory of judicial reasoning, assessment of digital evidence, theory of legal certainty, and principles of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah. The model is designed to enhance the consistency of rulings, legal certainty, and substantive justice in contemporary Indonesia’s digital divorce cases.

Abstract

Purpose – This article explores the recontextualization of Islamic inheritance law through the perspective of uṣūl al-fiqh, focusing on the reformist ideas of Munawir Sjadzali and their reception among urban Muslim communities in Purwokerto, Indonesia. It seeks to examine how contemporary Muslim communities negotiate classical inheritance doctrines in response to changing social realities and evolving notions of justice and gender equality. Methods – This study employs a qualitative approach by combining library research on Munawir Sjadzali’s concept of inheritance reform with fieldwork involving in-depth interviews with twelve informants, including religious leaders, Islamic legal practitioners, academics, and Muslim families. The analysis is framed through the principles of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah and maṣlaḥah to interpret contemporary understandings and applications of Islamic inheritance norms. Findings – The findings reveal three distinct patterns of community responses to inheritance reform. Progressive groups support contextual reinterpretation by emphasizing gender equality, women’s economic participation, and substantive justice, reflecting Sjadzali’s reformist orientation. Moderate groups accept limited adjustments under specific familial and social circumstances while maintaining the Qur’anic inheritance ratios as the normative foundation. In contrast, conservative groups reject reinterpretation and uphold classical jurisprudential formulations as immutable religious prescriptions. These patterns demonstrate that public acceptance of inheritance reform is closely associated with differing understandings of uṣūl al-fiqh principles and the legitimacy of contextual ijtihād. Research implications/limitations – This study contributes to contemporary debates on Islamic legal reform by demonstrating how uṣūl al-fiqh can mediate between normative religious texts and evolving social realities in the recontextualization of Islamic inheritance law. However, the findings are limited to urban Muslim communities in Purwokerto and may not be generalizable to other socio-cultural contexts in Indonesia.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to analyze how the migration of Indonesian female migrant workers reshapes gender power relations within the family and to propose Hanna Rosin’s concept of seesaw marriage as an adaptive model for sharing breadwinning and caregiving roles. Methods – This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The literature search was conducted using the Scopus database. Of the 356 articles initially identified, 14 articles published met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed thematically. Findings – The findings indicate that women’s migration abroad increases their control over remittances, strengthens their bargaining position, and expands their involvement in household decision-making. These changes encourage a shift in family structure from hierarchical patriarchal arrangements to more negotiated and egalitarian relationships. However, this transformation also generates various tensions, including threats to husbands’ masculine identity, conflicts over financial management, reduced emotional intimacy in long-distance marriages, higher rates of divorce, and psychosocial problems among left-behind children. The concept of seesaw marriage offers an adaptive framework that enables husbands and wives to alternate productive and reproductive roles according to family needs. Research implications – Theoretically, this study enriches the literature on gender and migration by integrating theories of household power relations with the concept of seesaw marriage, demonstrating that family authority is increasingly shaped by economic contributions and the capacity to negotiate roles. Practically, the findings underscore the importance of family resilience-based migration policies, including marital counseling, financial literacy, child caregiving support, and gender equality education. Originality/value – This study offers a novel integration of gender power relations, Indonesian female migrant workers, and the concept of seesaw marriage as an analytical framework for understanding transnational families.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines why rural communities in Gunung Labahan Subdistrict, Way Kanan Regency, continue to practice cerai sirri (informal divorce) outside the religious court system and analyzes its socio-legal consequences for women and children through the perspective of legal pluralism. Design/methods/approach – A qualitative socio-legal approach was employed using qualitative legal and content analysis. Data were collected between January and March 2026 through in-depth semi-structured interviews, observations, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving 12 informants, including divorced couples, village religious leaders (modin), and officials from the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). Data were analyzed using interactive thematic analysis. Findings – The findings reveal that informal religious authority remains more influential than formal legal institutions because it is perceived as socially accessible, culturally legitimate, and procedurally practical. The expansion of online gambling has intensified household conflicts and contributed to informal divorce. Limited legal literacy, financial constraints, geographical barriers, bureaucratic complexity, and fear of court procedures further discourage access to formal justice. Although socially accepted, cerai sirri creates legal, economic, administrative, and psychological vulnerabilities, particularly for women and children. Research implications/limitations – The study is limited to one rural district; therefore, its findings may not represent other socio-legal contexts in Indonesia. Nevertheless, this highlights the need for more accessible judicial services, stronger legal literacy, and inclusive family law policies. Originality/value – This study contributes to socio-legal and Islamic legal scholarship by demonstrating how legal pluralism and structural barriers to access to justice shape informal divorce practices and influence community legal behavior in rural Indonesia.

Abstract

Purpose – This study is motivated by the growing phenomenon of “waithood” (marriage postponement), which, from the perspective of classical Islamic law, is often viewed as potentially harmful to society. This study aims to analyze the rationale behind marriage postponement in Pringsewu Regency and reexamine the concept of Sadd al-Źarī’ah within a more dynamic social context. Methods – This study employs a qualitative approach with an empirical-sociological focus. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten women aged 25–40 who consciously delayed marriage, as well as from the Damar Institute and IWAPI Pringsewu. Secondary data were derived from relevant documents, reports, and statistics. Analysis was conducted qualitatively through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions with interpretation using the Sadd al-Źarī’ah framework Findings – Marriage postponement is influenced by economic, educational, psychological, and sociocultural factors and reflects instrumental, reflective, and normative-contextual rationality. Postponement functions as a mechanism for partner selection and a strategy to ensure the quality of long-term relationships. The findings also indicate a shift in social norms that increasingly accept marriage postponement and the strengthening of women’s agency in determining the timing of marriage. Conceptually, delay is not always a means leading to harm (mafsadat), but can function as an effort to prevent greater risks, such as divorce, domestic disharmony, and unpreparedness to fulfill family roles. Research implications – These findings encourage strengthening premarital education, empowering women through education and economic opportunities, and developing religious approaches that are more adaptive to contemporary social dynamics.
