Abstract

This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of swing voters in the 2024 Bukittinggi Regional Head Election (Pilkada) from the perspective of Siyasah Dusturiyah (Islamic Constitutional Politics). Swing voters constitute a significant electoral group whose political preferences are dynamic and susceptible to change based on candidates’ performance, political issues, campaign strategies, and the information they receive throughout the electoral process. This research employs a qualitative method with an empirical juridical approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with election officials, campaign teams, community leaders, academics, and voters, complemented by field observations and documentation of statutory regulations, election commission reports, and relevant scholarly literature. The data were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while source triangulation was applied to ensure the validity and reliability of the findings. The results indicate that the voting behavior of swing voters in Bukittinggi is influenced by a combination of rational, sociological, and psychological factors. Candidates’ policy platforms, personal credibility, leadership track records, the influence of social media, family networks, and local socio-economic conditions emerged as the primary determinants of changing political preferences. From the perspective of Siyasah Dusturiyah, the behavior of swing voters reflects the constitutional freedom of citizens to choose their leaders, provided that such decisions are guided by the principles of maslahah (public interest), justice, trustworthiness (amanah), and moral responsibility. Furthermore, the principles of shūrā (consultation), accountability, and public welfare serve as normative foundations for ethical political participation. This study contributes to the development of Islamic constitutional law scholarship by enriching the understanding of voter behavior in local democratic elections and providing practical recommendations for election management bodies, political contestants, and local governments to strengthen political education, enhance democratic literacy, and promote more substantive, ethical, and integrity-based electoral competition.

Abstract

The practice of unregistered marriage remains prevalent in various regions of Indonesia, including Nagari Ampang Kuranji, Koto Baru District, Dharmasraya Regency. This phenomenon occurs because many members of the community prioritize the religious validity of marriage over its legal recognition by the state, leading them to perceive marriage registration as having no effect on the validity of the marriage itself. This study aims to analyze the factors underlying the practice of unregistered marriage in Nagari Ampang Kuranji and to examine it from the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. This research employed a qualitative field research approach. Primary data were collected through interviews with individuals involved in unregistered marriages, traditional marriage officiants (penghulu), religious leaders, community leaders, and village government officials. Secondary data were obtained from books, journal articles, official documents, and relevant legislation. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and subsequently analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method based on the maqāṣid al-sharīʿah framework. The findings reveal that the practice of unregistered marriage is influenced by several factors, including religious understanding, low legal awareness, deeply rooted social customs, early marriage, pregnancy outside marriage, and the marital status of widows and widowers. From the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, this practice fulfills the objectives of ḍarūriyyāt (essential necessities) and ḥājiyyāt (complementary needs) because it seeks to preserve religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. However, it does not fulfill the objective of taḥsīniyyāt (embellishments), as the absence of marriage registration weakens legal certainty and the protection of family rights. Therefore, marriage registration constitutes an essential element in promoting public welfare (maṣlaḥah) and ensuring legal protection for wives and children.

Abstract

This study examines the tradition of compulsory walimatul 'ursy prior to cohabitation among the Muslim community in Nagari Abai Siat, Dharmasraya Regency, and evaluates it through the lens of maslahah (public interest) in Islamic law. The research is underpinned by the local customary norm that strictly restricts legally married couples from living together before hosting the wedding feast, raising questions regarding its alignment with Islamic jurisprudential flexibility. This study aims to analyze the practical implementation of this custom, investigate the underlying socio-cultural factors influencing its preservation, and determine its compatibility with Islamic legal principles. Employing a qualitative field research method with empirical-sociological and normative legal approaches, data were gathered through observations, documentation, and interviews with custom leaders (niniak mamak), religious figures, and local authorities, analyzed descriptively via data reduction and drawing conclusions. The findings reveal that while the community upholds the tradition to preserve family honor, secure social recognition, and prevent social stigma, Islamic law positions walimah as a highly recommended sunnah rather than a legal prerequisite for marriage. Thus, this tradition carries social benefit (maslahah) but must be enforced proportionally without imposing financial hardship on the couple. This study contributes to the development of Islamic family law literature by offering a contextual framework for integrating local customary law ('urf) with contemporary maqasid al-shariah principles, fostering a balanced approach between cultural preservation and legal ease.

Abstract

This study examines installment-based sale and purchase practices as an alternative to the traditional pagang gadai system in Nagari Koto Tangah from the perspective of maqashid al-shari‘ah. The study is motivated by problems associated with pagang gadai, including unclear redemption periods, the use of rice field yields by lenders without clearly defined rights, and the potential for injustice and practices resembling riba. This research employs a qualitative field study with descriptive analysis. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving transaction participants, community leaders, and religious figures. The findings indicate that installment-based transactions are conducted through mutual agreements concerning the rice fields, purchase prices, and payment periods, with written contracts witnessed by community members. From the perspective of maqashid al-shari‘ah, this practice promotes public welfare (maslahah) by providing greater legal certainty, protecting the rights of the parties, and reducing the potential for injustice and riba. The study concludes that installment-based sale and purchase can serve as a more transparent and equitable alternative to pagang gadai, provided that the transaction fulfills the requirements of Islamic commercial law and safeguards the interests of all parties. Academically, this research contributes to the study of Islamic Economic Law by demonstrating how the principles of maqashid al-shari‘ah can inform the evaluation of traditional land-based financing practices and the development of fairer contractual arrangements in local communities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the bonus distribution system of Moorlife products based on DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 75/DSN-MUI/VII/2009 concerning Sharia Multi-Level Marketing. The research employs a qualitative method with a normative-empirical approach through literature review, interviews, observations, and document analysis to examine the conformity of the system with Islamic economic principles. The findings indicate that the Moorlife bonus system includes recruitment bonuses, personal sales bonuses, unit sales bonuses, leadership bonuses, reward vouchers, and other incentives based on product sales performance and network development. These incentives are designed to encourage both individual productivity and network expansion. Based on the analysis of DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 75/DSN-MUI/VII/2009, the system is generally in accordance with Sharia principles because it is based on real transactions involving halal products, and bonuses are earned through legitimate sales activities and performance rather than solely recruitment. In addition, the contractual mechanisms applied reflect elements of bay’, ju’alah, and wakalah bil ujrah, which are permissible in Islamic jurisprudence. However, the study also finds that the company needs to maintain transparency, fairness, and accountability in the bonus distribution system to avoid potential elements of gharar, zulm, and practices resembling money games, thereby ensuring full compliance with Sharia principles in both theory and practice.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of customary sanctions imposed on perpetrators of fish theft in lubuk larangan (protected communal fishing areas) in Nagari Koto Nan Empat Dibawuah, Dharmasraya Regency, Indonesia, from the perspective of Fiqh Jinayah. The research aims to analyze the mechanism of customary sanctions and assess their compatibility with Islamic criminal law principles. A qualitative field research approach was employed using descriptive analysis. Data were collected through direct observation and semi-structured interviews with ninik mamak (customary leaders), religious leaders, village officials, and community members involved in the enforcement of customary regulations. The findings reveal that cases of fish theft are resolved through deliberative customary proceedings led by the ninik mamak penghulu (Datuk). Offenders are required to pay a customary fine in the form of one goat, which is subsequently allocated to the village treasury and utilized for communal customary activities. The sanction functions not only as a form of accountability but also as a mechanism for preserving the sustainability of lubuk larangan, maintaining social harmony, and strengthening communal values. From the perspective of Fiqh Jinayah, the legal elements and evidentiary standards required for the application of hudud punishments are not fulfilled. Consequently, the imposed sanction is classified as ta‘zīr, a discretionary punishment intended to achieve public benefit (maslahah) and social order. Although the sanction is administered by customary authorities rather than judicial institutions, its implementation remains consistent with the objectives of Islamic criminal law. This study demonstrates the significant role of customary law in regulating community behavior, protecting local resources, and providing an effective mechanism for resolving local disputes while preserving indigenous wisdom and social cohesion.

Abstract

Following  the enactment of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code, a paradigm shift has occurred in the regulation of the death penalty, which is no longer positioned as a principal punishment but as a special and alternative punishment under Articles 67 and 100 of the National Criminal Code. This development raises conceptual questions regarding the normative construction of Article 100 and its conformity with the principle of protecting human life within the framework of maqashid shariah. This study aims to analyze the extent to which the probationary period for the death penalty as regulated in Article 100 reflects the principles of hifz an-nafs. The research employs a normative legal method using a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The findings indicate that the probationary period reflects a more humanistic penal paradigm by positioning the death penalty not only as a means of punishment but also as a mechanism for evaluating the conduct of convicts. Nevertheless, several normative weaknesses remain, particularly the use of the phrase “can be changed,” which creates legal uncertainty, and the absence of clear criteria for assessing convicts’ behavior, thereby allowing subjective interpretation. From the perspective of maqashid shariah (hifz an-nafs), this regulation demonstrates efforts to protect life through the postponement of executions and the provision of opportunities for self-improvement. However, such protection remains limited due to the continued possibility of execution, legal uncertainty, and potential subjectivity in its implementation.

Abstract

This study discusses the existence of the Jaran Kepang (Jarkep) dance tradition in wedding ceremonies in Ngaso Village, Ujungbatu District, Rokan Hulu Regency, and its perspective according to the concept of 'urf in Islamic law. This study is motivated by differences in community views regarding the implementation of this tradition. Some people consider Jaran Kepang as a cultural heritage and entertainment that needs to be preserved, while others believe that the tradition contains elements that contradict Islamic teachings. This study uses a field research method with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results show that the Jaran Kepang tradition still exists and is still performed in wedding ceremonies in Ngaso Village because it is considered part of the community's cultural identity and a means of entertainment at wedding events. However, there are differences of opinion regarding its existence, especially regarding the costs of implementation and the risks that can be posed to the performers. From an 'urf' perspective, the Jaran Kepang tradition can be categorized as 'urf fasid' because it still contains elements inconsistent with Islamic law, such as the practice of trance and the use of offerings. However, the positive values ​​contained within the tradition, such as cultural preservation, entertainment, and strengthening social relations, can be maintained by eliminating elements that conflict with Islamic teachings.

Abstract

Abstract This study examines the implementation of basokat, a traditional agricultural zakat practice that continues to be carried out in Nagari Sijunjung, Sijunjung District, Sijunjung Regency, from the perspective of Islamic zakat law. In this tradition, paddy that has reached the zakat nisab is sold, and the proceeds are distributed to community members attending the ceremony without considering their status as mustahik. This study aims to examine the procedure of basokat, identify the factors contributing to its continuity, and analyze its implementation in light of Islamic zakat law. This research employs a qualitative case study approach. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with ninik mamak and religious leaders, as well as observation, while secondary data were obtained from relevant documents and literature. The data were systematically recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using a deductive method supported by inductive and descriptive approaches. The findings reveal that basokat is maintained because it promotes social solidarity, preserves local customs, and strengthens community relations. However, its implementation is not fully consistent with Islamic zakat law, particularly regarding nisab determination and zakat distribution, which is not directed exclusively to eligible mustahik as prescribed by Islamic law.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji penetapan yang dikeluarkan oleh Pengadilan Agama Maninjau terkait kedudukan seorang anak yang lahir dari hubungan pernikahan yang tidak tercatat, sementara permohonan pengesahan pernikahan kedua orang tuanya tidak dikabulkan. Kajian ini berangkat dari adanya keputusan yang menetapkan anak tersebut memiliki kedudukan yang diakui, meskipun hubungan perkawinan orang tuanya belum memperoleh pengakuan dalam administrasi negara. Keadaan tersebut memunculkan persoalan karena pengakuan terhadap anak tidak disertai dengan pengakuan terhadap hubungan perkawinan orang tuanya, sehingga menimbulkan perbedaan pandangan mengenai dasar pertimbangan yang digunakan serta relevansinya dengan kemanfaatan hukum. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguraikan alasan yang digunakan majelis dalam menetapkan kedudukan anak tersebut serta menelaahnya berdasarkan pertimbangan kemanfaatan yang berkembang dalam hukum Islam. Penelitian dilakukan melalui studi kepustakaan dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Data utama bersumber dari Penetapan Pengadilan Agama Maninjau Nomor 28/Pdt.P/2024/PA.Min, sedangkan data pendukung diperoleh dari berbagai ketentuan hukum, literatur keislaman, dan karya ilmiah yang berkaitan dengan pokok bahasan. Seluruh data diolah melalui penelaahan kualitatif dengan pola pengkajian yang memadukan penarikan kesimpulan umum, pengamatan terhadap fakta khusus, dan perbandingan berbagai sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penolakan permohonan pengesahan hubungan perkawinan dilakukan untuk menjaga keteraturan pencatatan perkawinan serta menghindari penyimpangan terhadap ketentuan yang berlaku. Di sisi lain, pengakuan terhadap kedudukan anak didasarkan pada upaya menjaga hak-hak anak serta mewujudkan rasa keadilan yang lebih luas dengan merujuk pada berbagai ketentuan yang memberikan perlindungan terhadap anak. Dari sudut pandang kemanfaatan hukum Islam, penetapan tersebut selaras dengan tujuan menjaga keberlanjutan keturunan dan kepastian kedudukan anak dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat.
