Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of Ushul Fiqh in uniting Islamic schools of thought (mazhab) and resolving sectarian divisions. Sectarian fragmentation among Muslim communities has led to social tensions and conflicts, hindering unity and progress. Despite the importance of Ushul Fiqh in Islamic jurisprudence, its practical application to promote inter-sectarian dialogue and social harmony remains underexplored. Using a library research methodology, this study reviews scholarly documents, fatwas, and empirical studies to understand the theoretical and practical implications of Ushul Fiqh. The findings reveal that Ushul Fiqh can serve as a critical tool for addressing sectarian differences by offering a flexible legal framework for resolving conflicts. However, there is a gap between academic discourse and grassroots application, with limited public engagement and understanding of Ushul Fiqh. Additionally, the frequency and level of participation in Ushul Fiqh discussions are positively correlated with greater community harmony. The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on Islamic legal traditions and recommends broader public education on Ushul Fiqh to enhance its role in reducing sectarian tensions. Future research should explore the practical implementation of Ushul Fiqh in diverse community contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the influence of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) on the search for meaning in life and spirituality among Generation Z, as well as its relationship with anxiety and depression levels. Generation Z is known for its high level of digital connectivity, but it also faces significant challenges to its mental and spiritual well-being. This study uses a phenomenological approach and in-depth interviews to explore participants’ subjective experiences. The findings suggest that FoMO is closely related to anxiety, depression, and emotional dissatisfaction arising from excessive social media consumption. Additionally, many Gen Z individuals seek spiritual fulfillment through non-institutional practices such as mindfulness and meditation rather than traditional religious practices. These practices are often considered to be more effective in coping with emotional distress compared to prayer or religious rituals. This research contributes to understanding how Generation Z balances the digital world and their spiritual needs. It is recommended that scholars and policymakers integrate secular practices with Islamic spiritual principles, such as the concept of Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), to support the psychological and spiritual well-being of Gen Z. Islamic teachings emphasize balance, discipline, and mindfulness, which can provide a comprehensive framework for addressing the mental and spiritual challenges faced by young people today. The potential role of Fiqh in guiding Gen Z’s spiritual practices offers a balanced approach, combining modern coping strategies with traditional religious wisdom to foster resilience and mental well-being.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the views of Salafi and contemporary scholars on the law of women traveling without a mahram in the context of modern travel. The background of this research highlights the tension between classical interpretations that prohibit women from traveling without a mahram and the growing demand for female participation in the global public sphere. The research employs a qualitative approach, using library research and normative and comparative methods to analyse classical and contemporary fiqh texts. The main findings reveal that the differing views between Salafi and contemporary scholars regarding women’s travel without a mahram stem from differences in identifying the ‘illah (legal cause) of the prohibition, with some scholars emphasizing physical protection, while others focus on social safety. While most Salafi scholars view the mahram as mandatory, contemporary scholars argue that modern security systems can replace the mahram’s role. This study contributes by offering a moderate legal synthesis that integrates maqashid al-Shariah with contemporary social realities. It recommends a paradigm shift in understanding the role of mahrams and the collective security system in supporting women’s mobility.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the legality of vasectomy as a prerequisite for receiving social assistance from the perspective of Shafi’i jurisprudence. The emergence of vasectomy requirements in welfare policies has generated debate in Muslim societies because it intersects with issues of reproductive rights, bodily autonomy, and religious ethics. Such policies raise questions about whether state efforts to control population growth and poverty align with the principles and objectives of Islamic law. This research employs a qualitative, normative approach, drawing on library research methods. Classical and contemporary Shafi’i jurisprudential texts are analysed through the framework of maqaṣid al-Shari’ah and Islamic legal maxims. The findings show that vasectomy is generally categorized as impermissible because it permanently eliminates reproductive capacity and contradicts the principle of ḥifẓ al-naṣl. Economic hardship and administrative interests cannot be classified as darurah that would justify permanent sterilization. Conditioning social assistance on vasectomy potentially creates structural coercion for economically vulnerable communities. This policy may therefore produce tensions between welfare objectives and Islamic legal principles. This study contributes to the discourse on Islamic public policy and recommends interdisciplinary research integrating fiqh, socio-legal analysis, and public policy studies.

Abstract

Advancements in medical technology have intensified debates within Islamic law regarding sex reassignment and enhancement surgery. This study aims to systematically examine how Islamic jurisprudence classifies elective sex reassignment and corrective intersex surgery, including their legal consequences for lineage, marriage, inheritance, guardianship, and religious obligations. Employing a normative legal research design with a qualitative doctrinal approach, the study analyzes classical fiqh texts, contemporary juristic opinions, institutional fatwas, and maqaṣid al-shari‘ah principles through structured data condensation and comparative verification. The findings reveal that elective sex reassignment for anatomically normal individuals is consistently deemed impermissible based on the doctrine of taghyir khalqillah. In contrast, corrective surgery for intersex individuals is conditionally permissible when supported by verified medical necessity. The study’s novelty lies in constructing an integrative analytical framework linking scriptural evidence, juristic methodology, and family law implications. These findings provide structured guidance for scholars, policymakers, and medical practitioners in addressing gender-related medical interventions within Islamic law.
