Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the forms and application of Novaya customary sanctions among the Kaili people, as well as to examine their compatibility with the concept of ‘urf and the principles of maqashid sharia. Design – The research method used was a qualitative approach, employing interviews and documentation as data collection methods. The study was conducted in Bulubete Village, South Dolo Subdistrict, Sigi Regency. The informants consisted of one traditional leader and four members of the indigenous community. Informants were selected using purposive sampling. The data were validated through triangulation and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. Findings – The findings identify seven categories of conduct addressed through the Potangara Nuada customary-hearing process. The analysis distinguishes three dimensions of Novaya: (1) customary norms defining prohibited conduct, (2) the customary procedure for reporting, hearing, deliberation, reconciliation, and restitution, and (3) material sanctions such as livestock, customary objects, and monetary payments. The first two dimensions show substantial compatibility with the requirements of ‘urf ṣaḥīḥ when they do not contradict Sharia or cause harm; the material sanctions require separate contextual assessment and cannot automatically be treated as Islamic-law sanctions. The maqāṣid analysis focuses on ḥifẓ al-nafs, ḥifẓ al-nasl, and ḥifẓ al-‘ird because these are the dimensions directly evidenced by the reported cases and procedures. Research Implications – This study focuses only on Bulubete’s Kaili community, limiting broader understanding of Novaya variations across other Kaili regions. Originality – The study contributes an integrated analysis using ‘urf and maqāṣid al-Syarī‘ah. Its contribution lies in distinguishing the legal evaluation of customary norms, dispute-resolution procedures, and material sanctions, while interpreting the latter through proportionality and harm-prevention considerations.

Abstract

Purpose – This exploratory phenomenological study aims to analyze how selected Muslim millennial investors in East Java, Indonesia, negotiate the psychological pressure of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and reconcile their faith with participation in the volatile crypto market, despite the official fatwas from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and PWNU East Java declaring crypto asset trading impermissible. Design – Using an interpretive phenomenological approach, this research conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 13 Muslim millennial crypto investors across East Java. The qualitative data were coded to identify recurring themes in investor motivation, social influence, and behavioral strategies. Findings – The findings reveal that while profit is the universal long-term objective, FOMO frequently serves as the predominant socio-emotional trigger for initial market entry. Decisions among the informants are operationalized through three strategic patterns: buy-and-hold, active management (day, swing, and position trading), and risk diversification. Furthermore, informants internally justify their continued participation through subjective, contextual reflections on Islamic ethical values, namely khalifah, ihsan, maslahah, and falah. Research Implications – The primary methodological limitation is its geographic constraint to 13 informants in East Java, bounding its external generalizability. The findings should be framed as context-specific rather than representative of all Indonesian Muslims. Practically, it highlights the need for inclusive investment education that addresses behavioral vulnerabilities and integrates technical literacy with ethical dimensions. Originality – This study offers a phenomenological contribution by demonstrating that among the selected informants, young Muslims navigate the digital economy through subjective personal religious reasoning and behavioral adaptation, moving beyond a rigid binary halal-haram compliance to negotiate their investment actions.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines how students' perceptions of principal managerial effectiveness, teacher competence, and Love Curriculum-aligned experiences are associated with religious moderation in two state madrasahs in multicultural North Sulawesi, Indonesia, and clarifies their unique predictive contributions when the three school-level variables are considered simultaneously within one analytical framework. Design – A quantitative cross-sectional explanatory survey was conducted with 110 Grade X and XI students from MAN 1 Model Manado and MAN 1 Bitung. Data were collected using an 87-item four-point Likert questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranged from .864 to .923. Descriptive statistics, simple regression, and multiple regression were used after testing residual normality, linearity, independence, heteroscedasticity, and multicollinearity. Findings – All three predictors were significantly associated with religious moderation when tested separately. In the simultaneous model, perceived principal managerial effectiveness (beta = .287, p = .002) and Love Curriculum-aligned experiences (beta = .331, p < .001) made significant unique contributions, whereas perceived teacher competence did not (beta = .103, p = .292). The model was significant, F(3, 106) = 19.016, p < .001, and explained 35.0% of the variance in religious moderation. Research Implications – The findings indicate that institutional leadership and value-oriented curricular experiences are important components of religious moderation in multicultural madrasahs. Interpretation should remain cautious because the study is cross-sectional, relies on student self-reports, and covers only two institutions. Originality – The study provides preliminary empirical evidence by jointly examining student-perceived leadership, teacher competence, and Love Curriculum-aligned experiences within a multicultural madrasah context.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the understanding of kiai in West Java regarding the practice of polygamy from the perspective of Islamic law and Indonesian positive law, as well as to identify the factors influencing this practice amidst the implementation of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage and the Compilation of Islamic Law. This study employs a qualitative approach using empirical legal research methods. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with kiai practising polygamy in several regencies in West Java, whilst secondary data were sourced from legislation, Islamic legal literature and supporting documents. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method through data reduction, data presentation and drawing of conclusions. The research shows that kiai’s understanding of polygamy is dominated by the perspective of Islamic law rather than Indonesian positive law. The Qur’an, hadith and principles of fiqh form the primary basis for the legitimacy of the practice of polygamy, whilst state legal provisions are viewed as administrative regulations. This study identifies two typologies of understanding: the normative-humanistic model and the normative-theological model. The practice of polygamy is influenced by religious factors, social responsibility, biological needs, domestic harmony, and social status as religious figures. This study is limited to informants who are kiai practising polygamy in several regions of West Java; consequently, the results cannot yet be generalised to the whole of Indonesia. The research findings have implications for strengthening literacy in Islamic family law and for harmonising Islamic law with positive law in the regulation of polygamy. This study offers a conceptual model regarding the typology of kiai’s understanding of polygamy, which demonstrates the interaction between Islamic law, positive law and legal pluralism in marriage practices in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study analyzes Islamic education policies in Indonesian higher education by comparing State Universities (PTU), State Islamic Religious Universities (PTKIN), and Private Islamic Religious Universities (PTKIS), focusing on regulation, governance, and knowledge integration. This study employs normative legal research with a qualitative policy analysis approach. Primary and secondary legal materials were collected through documentation of legislation, higher education regulations, policy documents, and scientific literature. Data were analyzed using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The findings show that PTU, PTKIN, and PTKIS operate within an integrated national higher education framework but demonstrate different patterns of Islamic education implementation. At PTU, Islamic Religious Education primarily functions as a compulsory course oriented toward character, ethics, and religious moderation. PTKIN has a broader mandate to integrate knowledge through curriculum, research, governance, and community service. PTKIS implements Islamic higher education according to institutional capacity, governance, human resources, and funding. These differences indicate that knowledge integration has developed institutionally but lacks a fully coherent national policy direction. This study proposes four policy dimensions: regulatory harmonization, integrative curriculum strengthening, PTU–PTKIN–PTKIS research collaboration, and quality assurance based on knowledge integration. This study shifts the analysis from predominantly epistemological and institutional perspectives toward comparative higher education policy, demonstrating that knowledge integration also depends on regulatory coherence, institutional capacity, governance, curriculum, research, and quality assurance.

Abstract

Purpose – This article examines how modern cosmology can inform the interpretation of selected Qur’anic creation passages without reducing revelation to a repository of scientific predictions. Design – Using qualitative library research, the study integrates lexical-semantic analysis, diachronic comparison of purposively selected classical and modern tafsīr, and epistemological evaluation of mainstream cosmology. It examines Q. 21:30, Q. 41:11–12, Q. 51:47, and verses on creation in six ayyām. Findings – Ratq–fatq, dukhān, mūsiʿūn, and sittati ayyām permit scientifically informed readings, but none supplies a technical formulation of the Big Bang, primordial plasma, metric expansion, or six fixed cosmological epochs. Modern science can expand an interpretive horizon while remaining distinct from lexical meaning, historical exegesis, and theological function. Research Implications – The study is limited to four cosmological clusters and a selective exegetical corpus. LEMSE requires independent testing across other scientific themes, interpretive traditions, and scholarly users before stronger claims of general validity can be made. Originality – The primary contribution is LEMSE as an analytical-evaluative framework that sequences four interpretive layers, classifies claim types, and applies explicit decision and stopping rules. Epistemic resonance is proposed as one possible outcome when textual, historical, and scientific warrants converge without collapsing scripture into scientific prediction.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak manajemen kepemimpinan kepala madrasah terhadap peningkatan mutu pendidikan melalui pengembangan kompetensi pedagogik dan profesional guru di Madrasah Negeri Kota Parepare, didorong oleh kesenjangan antara kebijakan makro dan implementasi mikro di madrasah serta tantangan disrupsi digital yang menuntut adaptasi kompetensi pendidik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan manajemen pendidikan. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, dokumentasi, dan wawancara mendalam dengan informan yang terdiri dari kepala madrasah, guru, dan tenaga kependidikan. Teknik analisis data menggunakan model interaktif yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan, dengan uji keabsahan melalui triangulasi. Kepemimpinan kepala madrasah memberikan dampak signifikan terhadap peningkatan mutu melalui program pengembangan profesional yang terintegrasi. Keberhasilan implementasi pelatihan Kurikulum Merdeka dan akselerasi digitalisasi pembelajaran melalui inovasi sistem “Siati Maddua” di MAN 2 Parepare serta penggunaan smart classroom terbukti meningkatkan efisiensi waktu, kualitas pengajaran, serta motivasi belajar siswa. Sebagai studi kasus kualitatif deskriptif pada Madrasah Negeri Kota Parepare, temuan bersifat kontekstual dan tidak dimaksudkan untuk digeneralisasi secara statistik. Implikasinya, kepala madrasah dan pemangku kebijakan pendidikan Islam perlu memperkuat program pengembangan profesional guru yang terintegrasi dengan digitalisasi pembelajaran secara berkelanjutan. Kebaruan penelitian terletak pada integrasi sistematis antara kepemimpinan visioner kepala madrasah dengan akselerasi digitalisasi pendidikan melalui platform “Siati Maddua”, yang membedakannya dari studi manajemen pendidikan umum yang cenderung hanya berfokus pada pelatihan konvensional.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines breast milk donation through social media from the perspectives of health sciences and Islamic law and proposes an integrated policy framework to promote milk safety, ensure legal certainty regarding milk kinship, and protect recipient infants and donor families. Design – This study employs normative legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. Research materials include legislation, Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) Fatwa No. 28 of 2013, Islamic legal literature, scientific articles, relevant health guidelines, and publicly available documentation on the Lactashare platform. The analysis combines legal interpretation with health protection principles and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah (the objectives of Islamic law). Findings – Three key findings emerge. First, social media-based breast milk donation requires appropriate risk mitigation, including donor health screening, pasteurization in accordance with relevant guidelines, temperature control, and distribution traceability. Second, Islamic law emphasizes donor identity verification, documentation of breastfeeding sessions, and recording milk kinship relationships that may arise. The protection of life and lineage provides a key conceptual basis for regulating these practices. Third, digital donation systems require better integration of health safety standards, milk kinship records, and personal data protection. Research Implications – This study recommends a cross-sectoral policy involving relevant ministries, healthcare professionals, religious authorities, and digital platform operators. The proposed framework remains conceptual and requires empirical testing and stakeholder validation before broader implementation. Originality – This study proposes an integrated policy framework connecting health sciences, Islamic law, and digital governance to inform the development of comprehensive breast milk donation policies in Indonesia.

Abstract

Purpose – This study describes perceptions of pilgrimage destination attributes and community welfare, regency revenue trends, and stakeholder accounts around the Guru Kapuh site in South Kalimantan. Design – A descriptive case analysis draws on two item-level survey worksheets, each containing 100 complete numbered records, Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency own-source revenue (PAD) figures for 2019–2023, and processed notes from six reported informants. The destination-attribute scale has 18 items and the perceived-welfare scale has 24. Survey scores are summarized separately because the correspondence of respondent numbers across worksheets cannot be independently verified. Findings – Mean summed scores were 70.90 (SD 4.20) for destination attributes and 91.10 (SD 5.34) for perceived welfare. Regency PAD rose nominally from IDR 168.033 billion in 2019 to IDR 210.796 billion in 2023, with substantial annual fluctuations. Interview summaries describe trading opportunities for some participants and the absence of an official pilgrim retribution at the time of fieldwork. Research Implications – Future studies should verify respondent linkage, measure household income and business costs over time, and collect site-specific visitor and fiscal data to test proposed livelihood and revenue pathways. Originality – The study distinguishes perception scores, contextual business accounts, and aggregate fiscal data at an emerging pilgrimage destination. None establishes a causal welfare effect or the site’s contribution to regency revenue. Islamic welfare and pilgrimage ethics are used as interpretative perspectives, not measured outcomes.
BETWEEN THE PUBLIC SPHERE AND DOMESTIC AUTHORITY: RECONCILING WOMEN'S POLITICAL LEADERSHIP WITH QAWWAMAH DOCTRINE IN ISLAMIC FAMILY LAW: A DOCTRINAL AND MAQASID-BASED CONCEPTUAL RECONSTRUCTION Yahya Wahidin Pasiak; Rasha Aqeel Ali

Abstract

This article addresses an unresolved doctrinal tension in Islamic family law: the qawwāmah doctrine positions the husband as domestic authority, yet a growing number of Indonesian women now hold substantial public political authority as regional heads and legislators. The study reconstructs qawwāmah as a functionally contingent, maqāṣid-oriented responsibility rather than a fixed hierarchical status, proposing a framework to reconcile this inconsistency. This is a normative-juridical (yuridis-normatif) study using qualitative content analysis of classical and contemporary Islamic legal texts on qawwāmah and women's political leadership, read alongside Indonesia's Marriage Law and Compilation of Islamic Law. The analysis is synthesized through Jasser Auda's systems-oriented (niẓāmī) maqāṣid al-sharī'ah framework, drawing on secondary documentary sources and biographical accounts of women in regional offices as illustrative material rather than primary interview data. Qawwāmah is better understood as function-based rather than ontological, conditioned on fulfilling maintenance and protection rather than permanently attached to the husband. Documentary observations suggest, as a preliminary pattern requiring further testing, that households may distinguish symbolic, decisional, and material registers of authority. Applying Auda's six systems-features shows how this reconstruction serves family stability, human dignity, and public welfare. This article is conceptual and doctrinal; findings are illustrative hypotheses requiring further empirical and comparative research. This study offers an integrated maqāṣid-based framework linking qawwāmah with women's de facto political authority, extending maqāṣid's application from public law to family law reform.
