Abstract

This study examines how Islamic boarding schools implement digital transformation to develop Sharia-compliant startup ecosystems that promote institutional economic independence. The research is significant because pesantren in Indonesia face increasing pressure to remain economically sustainable while preserving their religious identity in the digital era. Using a qualitative case study approach, the study focuses on Pesantren and its business units. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic coding. The findings reveal three major outcomes: a phased digital transformation model that integrates religious authority with professional governance; the embedding of Sharia principles within digital financial and operational systems; and the development of an ecosystem-based economic structure that strengthens institutional self-reliance. The study concludes that digital transformation in pesantren can function as a culturally anchored modernization strategy that enhances transparency, scalability, and sustainability without compromising doctrinal values. It recommends that Islamic educational institutions adopt phased, Sharia-embedded digital strategies and strengthen ecosystem-based entrepreneurship to achieve long-term economic resilience.

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.
