Abstract

The shift in the meaning and position of the wali mujbir in the marriage of daughters in Indonesia has become an interesting issue to analyze following the enactment of Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Sexual Violence Crimes. In classical Islamic law, a wali mujbir holds full authority to marry off his daughter without her consent. However, this new regulation, through Article 10 of the Sexual Violence Crimes Law, imposes limitations and criminal sanctions on forced child marriages. This study aims to analyze the position of wali mujbir under Islamic law and Indonesian marriage regulations, the shift in meaning and status of wali mujbir post-enactment of Law Number 12 of 2022, its implementation in the Religious Affairs Offices (KUA), and the maslahah (public interest) values ​​in the UU TPKS regarding child marriage. The research employs normative and empirical/sociological legal methods, using a conceptual and qualitative approach. The data were analyzed qualitatively. The findings reveal that while the concept of wali mujbir in Isla The Minister of Religious Affairs should strictly regulate interview procedures to detect potential coercion by the wali. The government is advised to revise the Marriage Law to explicitly prohibit forced marriage and align it with the TPKS Law and the Child Protection Law. KUA officers should receive gender-sensitive training and be required to provide a private, safe space for prospective brides to express objections without family or guardian pressure.

Abstract

The practice of dhikr is a fundamental element in Islamic spirituality which plays an important role in building a relationship between humans and Allah (ḥablum minallah) while strengthening social relations between each other (ḥablum minannas). Amidst the dynamics of modern society characterized by increasingly complex social changes and spiritual needs, studies on the role of dhikr in socio-religious life are still relatively limited, particularly in local tarekat communities. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of dhikr practices at Zawiyah Nurun Nabi and their influence on the socio-religious life of the congregation. This study uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with zawiyah administrators and congregation members, and documentation of dhikr activities and social interactions. The results show that dhikr practices at Zawiyah Nurun Nabi contribute significantly to improving emotional well-being, inner peace, and the quality of worship of the congregation. In addition, collective dhikr strengthens social solidarity, increasing empathy, patience, and cooperation among congregation members. These findings confirm that dhikr not only has a spiritual dimension but also functions as an effective instrument of socio-religious development in forming a harmonious and empowered Muslim community.

Abstract

In the perspective of fiqh, both classical and modern, domestic work such as cooking, washing, cleaning the house, and so on is not the absolute obligation of the wife. Therefore, such work should not be entirely imposed upon her. However, female fiqh teachers of civil servants (ASN) in Gayo Lues, despite having professional responsibilities outside the home—where both husband and wife spend relatively equal time working in the public sphere—still bear the entire burden of domestic work, resulting in a double workload for the wife. This phenomenon of dual roles among female fiqh teachers of civil servants attracted the researcher's attention to conduct this study, analysing how their understanding of fiqh influences women's roles in the household. This study employs a qualitative method, with data analysis carried out through a descriptive-analytical approach using phenomenology. Data were collected through in-depth interviews as primary sources and literature study as secondary sources. The findings reveal that the dual roles of female ASN in Gayo Lues consist of public and domestic roles: as civil servants and breadwinners, while simultaneously acting as domestic workers. Almost all of them understand that domestic work is not the absolute obligation of wives, and that household responsibilities should be shared fairly in accordance with Islamic principles. However, this understanding has not yet succeeded in changing the unequal division of labour within households. Their understanding of fiqh has little influence on shaping their household roles, being overshadowed by cultural systems, gender norms, psychological pressures, economic conditions, and a less inclusive religious understanding. Therefore, the researcher recommends positioning fiqh not merely as a set of normative laws, but as a means of social transformation capable of adapting to the realities of contemporary women's lives.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has changed family interaction patterns, notably reflected in the increasing cases of gaming disorder among children and adolescents, which can weaken the resilience of Muslim families by affecting behavior, spirituality, and parent-child relationships. This article aims to examine how the educational values ​​of Luqman al-Hakim in the Qur'an can be internalized as an educational approach to address this threat. This study employs a qualitative method with a thematic interpretation (tafsir maudhu'i), analyzing QS. Luqman 12–19 related to family education, self-control, and moral development. The findings indicate that values ​​such as strengthening monotheism, cultivating noble character, discipline in worship, emotional regulation, and persuasive communication play a strategic role in preventing addictive behavior toward digital games. Implementation includes family agreements on device usage, screen-free family time, integrating playful elements into worship activities, and continuous parental supervision. This approach not only limits technology use but also strengthens emotional and spiritual family bonds. Therefore, the internalization of Qur'anic education based on the example of Luqman al-Hakim is an effective strategy to build the resilience of Muslim families in the digital era.

Abstract

This study raises the issue of the complexity of social control in Aceh Province, particularly through the Tawar Kampung tradition in Gayo Lues, which is often viewed merely as a cultural practice without an integrative analysis of Islamic law. The urgency of this research lies in the need for a deeper understanding of informal social control mechanisms capable of maintaining communal harmony when the formal legal system has limitations. This study aims to analyze the sociological function of Tawar Kampung and examine its normative position from the perspective of the sociology of Islamic law through the framework of 'urf and maqāṣid al-syarī'ah. Using a qualitative method with a literature study design and a normative-sociological approach, data are analyzed through a hermeneutic circle to achieve a holistic understanding. The research findings indicate that Tawar Kampung functions as an effective instrument of restorative justice because it is supported by the moral legitimacy of traditional leaders (Sarak Opat) and the internalization of collective values. Normatively, this practice is classified as 'Urf ṣaḥīḥ because it aligns with the principles of sharia in preserving religion and lineage and preventing social damage. In conclusion, Tawar Kampung is a manifestation of living law that is able to synergize local wisdom with the flexibility of Islamic law to realize substantive public welfare.

Abstract

The rising divorce rate in Southeast Aceh Regency in recent years reflects social challenges that require comprehensive analysis. Data from the Kutacane Syar'iyah Court indicates that the number of divorce cases in 2025 has exceeded the total cases recorded in the previous year, highlighting increasing vulnerability within family institutions. This study aims to examine the primary factors contributing to the surge in divorce rates in Southeast Aceh and to analyse the role of social media in shaping marital conflict dynamics. The research adopts a qualitative approach using literature review and secondary data analysis derived from religious court decisions, official judicial reports, and relevant scholarly sources. The findings reveal that economic hardship, lack of spousal responsibility, criminal-related issues, and weak interpersonal communication are dominant factors leading to divorce. Additionally, social media contributes to the escalation of marital conflict by reducing direct communication and increasing the potential for interpersonal tension. These results suggest that social media is not the sole cause of divorce but functions as a supporting factor that accelerates the emergence of domestic conflict. In conclusion, reducing divorce rates requires integrated efforts through strengthening family resilience, enhancing digital literacy, and increasing the involvement of social and religious institutions in family guidance and counselling.

Abstract

Islamic law has undergone continuous development, in line with the advancement of contemporary legal knowledge. Initially, Islamic regulations were systematized through the ijtihad of jurists accumulated in fiqh books and through the decisions of court judges. Current legal developments, with the presence of systematic state regulations, require adjustments to the type of Islamic regulation organized through formal and binding state institutions. In the history of the Ottoman Caliphate, Sultan Sulaiman began to establish a law in the form of authority called qanun, so that Sultan Sulaiman of the Ottomans was known as Sulaiman al-Qanuni (1520-1560 CE). Where he diligently implemented the qanun or qanun name as an official regulation. The presence of qanun fiqh is seen as a necessity, while some view its presence as hindering the progress of ijtihad, which is one form of transformation towards Islamic law.

Abstract

The Qanun Jinayat of Aceh, a regional criminal law rooted in Islamic Sharia, regulates same-sex acts through the categories of jarīmah liwāṭh and musāḥaqah. However, this legal construction raises critical issues, particularly in terms of normative Islamic law and human rights (HR). The main criticism targets its repressive and legalistic approach, which overlooks the sociological context and the identity dynamics of perpetrators. This neglects the principles of justice (al-'adl) and compassion (al-raḥmah) in maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, and fails to consider the legal capacity (ahliyyah al-wujūb) of offenders. Moreover, it does not cover the complexity of sexual identities such as transgender and bisexual, leading to potential legal inequality. This study aims to analyse the construction of LGBT criminalization in Qanun Jinayat Aceh, examine the foundations of critique, and propose a reformulation grounded in Sharia justice and human rights. The research employs a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and maqāṣid al-sharī'ah approaches, along with critical analysis of Islamic legal doctrines and HR principles. Data were collected through literature review of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The findings reveal that the criminalization framework is based on classical fiqh with a ta'zīr-based orientation to ḥifẓal-'irḍ (protection of dignity). Despite its repressive nature, there are signs of adaptation to maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, especially in protection and justice. The proposed reform includes: re-evaluation of ahliyyah al-wujūb for more proportional accountability; application of a double track system combining penal sanctions and rehabilitation; and development of contextual legal norms through a reconciliatory approach between Sharia and human rights.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the practice of Al-Quran recitation during the month of Ramadhan in Aceh Besar as a socio-religious phenomenon through a review of the sociology of Islamic law and the maqashid syari’ah. Using a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods, this study explores how this tradition operates in society. The research findings indicate that: (1) sociologically, tadarus Al-Qur’an in Aceh Besar is a structured social practice that strengthens communal identity and solidarity among residents through interactions in the meunasah or mosque. (2) From the perspective of the sociology of Islamic law, tadarus is a form of living law that functions as an informal social control mechanism in shaping the religious character of society. (3) A review of the maqashid syari’ah proves that tadarus fulfills the five main elements of welfare (al-daruriyyat al-khamsah), especially in maintaining religion (hifdz al-din) and the soul (hifdz al-nafs). This study also reveals the dialectic of loudspeaker use that requires a moderate approach to balance between religious propagation and protection of the right to public tranquility.

Abstract

This study analyses the dynamics and conflicts of legal pluralism in Aceh through three problem formulations: How are the dynamics of the relationship between the three legal systems, what are the points of conflict that arise, what are the mechanisms for resolving normative conflicts. The study uses a qualitative library research method with a sociology of law approach, analysing laws and regulations, Qanun, and academic literature using the legal pluralism theoretical framework of Griffiths and the semi-autonomous social field concept of Moore. The results show: The three systems interact through patterns of accommodation, negotiation, and competition with a formal hierarchy but more complex practices; Conflict occurs at three levels—normative, institutional, and implementation; Conflict resolution is carried out through formal and informal mechanisms. The limitations of the study are the absence of primary data from the field and a limited focus on the normative-theoretical aspects.
