Abstract

Women are social beings who hold a high position in continuing the kinship system, preserving the existence of inheritance, and being responsible for forming family ethics and morals. This study aims to reconstruct the legal perspective on gender relations by integrating Islamic law with the Minangkabau cultural customs to strengthen family resilience. This research uses a qualitative approach based on relevant documents from primary and secondary sources, including interviews, documentation, books, and articles. The collected data is analyzed using content analysis methods with phenomenological, feminist, and sociological approaches. The findings of this study indicate that the Minangkabau community views women as charismatic and respected figures. Bundo kanduang protects her kin, preserves the ancestral heritage, and maintains the kinship system to ensure the continuity of the family within the matrilineal kinship system. This research contributes to the discourse on Islamic law and gender by showing how the matrilineal society of Minangkabau aligns with Islamic principles and challenges conventional patriarchal interpretations that are not in line with Islamic values.

Abstract

This study examines the contested legal status of traditional sharecropping contracts among Islamic scholars and religious leaders in rural West Java, Indonesia. The primary objective is to analyze how Islamic law governs these contracts both normatively and in practice and how relevant regulations function within the local context. Employing an empirical legal approach, the research relies on direct observation and analysis of legal behavior in society. Findings indicate that the rising value of land and labor has turned traditional sharecropping arrangements into symbols of economic inequality. Ideologically, the legitimacy of such contracts is debated among village groups with varying socio-religious orientations. This contestation reflects an ongoing process of rural Islamization and highlights emerging pragmatism. The increasing accessibility of global information via the internet enables rural communities to reinterpret Islamic legal norms and agricultural practices, illustrating their adaptive responses to socioeconomic change and technological advancement.

Abstract

Transparency and accountability based on Sharia provisions are demands in presenting financial reports on Sharia fintech platforms. Based on the principle of taṣarruf al-imām ʿalā al-raʿiyya manūṭ bi al-maṣlaḥa, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) is responsible for ensuring that Sharia fintech financial reports are made by these rules. This article aims to analyze the presentation of financial reports on Sharia fintech platforms, evaluate compliance with OJK provisions, and examine the application of PSAK 101 in reporting practices. PSAK 101, concerning the presentation of Sharia financial reports, has not been adopted by OJK, resulting in inconsistencies in reporting. This study analyzes four Sharia fintech platforms (Alami, Danasyariah, Qazwa, and Ethis) using a normative approach with annual financial report data sources. The results of the analysis show that three platforms have complied with their obligations, but there are variations in the application of PSAK 101. Only Qazwa presents a more comprehensive report. In addition, no platform discloses the temporary partnership fund and social fund required by PSAK 101. This study recommends that OJK reconstruct the law by adopting PSAK 101, preparing detailed temporary partnership funds and social funds guidelines, and strengthening supervision to ensure full accountability in the Sharia fintech sector.

Abstract

Zakat management institutions have changed the method of collecting Islamic philanthropic funds (zakāt, infāq, ṣadaqah [ZIS]) from conventional to digital by utilizing digital platforms. This article aims to describe the transformation by the National Board of Zakat Republic of Indonesia (BAZNAS RI) and the views of scholars regarding the expansion of the meaning of mustaḥiq in the Indonesian context. This research is a normative-empirical legal research with primary data from interviews and secondary data referring to the BAZNAS RI annual report for 2016-2025. After being collected, the data was analyzed using interpretation and description techniques. The results of this study indicate that digital ZIS collection has increased with an average growth of 32%, and its distribution has increased by an average of 30% per year from 2016 to 2023. Digital ZIS management has also had an impact on the expansion of the meaning of the five mustaḥiq groups in Indonesia, namely mu'allaf, riqāb, ghārimīn, sabīlillā, and ibn sabīl. Digital ZIS management needs to be socialized massively in the community. In addition, there needs to be a review of the effectiveness of digital-based productive zakat management for the following years. Likewise, extensive research on the meaning of mustaḥiq and zakat objects that have changed.

Abstract

Until the mid-19th century, the Dutch colonialism (the Western world) began to intervene in the indigenous legal systems of Indonesia. The current situation marks the beginning of a decline in the civilization of Muslims, particularly in Indonesia. This development raises concerns about the future of Indonesian society as a whole. This decline permeated various aspects of life, including the field of mu’āmala law, which began to adopt usury-based concepts. This research aims to reconstruct the Islamic legal policy on Ultra-Micro (UMi) Financing as practiced by the Indonesian government, which still contains elements of usury (ribā) in its implementation. This study employs a qualitative approach using empirical-socio-legal research methods involving an analysis of UMi Financing contracts, interviews with stakeholders, and direct observations in Surakarta. The analysis is grounded in the theory of maqāṣid al-sharī’a, including the principles of ribā as outlined in classical Islamic jurisprudence (turāth). The findings reveal a research gap that the current legal policy on Sharia ultra-micro financing implemented by the government had ribā, which is found in classical Islamic texts.

Abstract

Decision Number 183/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Mbl and Number 547/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Utj has paved the way for expanding the implementation of obligatory bequest by granting the inheritance to the unregistered wife in a polygamous marriage. Stepchildren, non-Muslim heirs, and biological children born outside of a registered marriage are forms of expansion of the obligatory bequest regulated in the nomenclature of jurisprudence or the Circular of the Supreme Court (SEMA). This article is qualitative, with a normative and empirical juridical approach to finding legal justice through the path of maqāṣid al-sharī'a. The results of the study show that judges, to realize legal justice, have expanded the implementation of the obligatory bequest by granting the heir's property to the unregistered wife of a polygamous marriage. The researcher offers five criteria for granting an obligatory bequest to the unregistered wife. First, the unregistered polygamous marriage is known to the legally registered wife. Second, the rights and obligations between husband and wife have been implemented. Third, the time of obtaining the inherited property. Fourth, the maximum limit for obtaining inheritance property does not exceed the registered wife's share.  Fifth, the psychological factor between husband and wife has been well established.

Abstract

Bali faces challenges in implementing halal product assurance because the majority of its population is non-Muslim, and there is an increasing demand for halal tourism. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of halal food development in Bali in the context of religion, regulation, and local culture. The method is a socio-legal approach with interview techniques, observation, and legal document analysis. The findings show that the interaction between religious norms, state policies, and local culture affects the availability of halal food. The novelty of this study lies in the contextual approach to halal governance in non-Muslim majority areas. Recommendations include increasing halal literacy, supporting MSMEs, and strengthening locally-based halal supply chains.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the still-weak legal protection for Muslim consumers in Indonesia concerning the circulation of products without clear halal certification, despite existing regulations such as Law Number 33 of 2014 on Halal Product Assurance. This study aims to analyze the implementation of halal product assurance and its effectiveness in providing legal protection for consumers and formulate strategies for strengthening the existing regulatory framework. This research uses a normative juridical method combined with an empirical approach through field interviews with business actors, relevant authorities, and consumers to obtain firsthand data. The findings indicate that while the legal framework is adequate, its implementation faces several challenges, including limited infrastructure, a lack of understanding among micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and weak law enforcement. Based on these findings, the study recommends strengthening the sanctions stipulated in Article 56 of the Halal Product Assurance Law, increasing the capacity of halal inspection and auditing institutions, and enhancing inter-agency collaboration to ensure that all circulated products are halal-certified, thereby providing stronger legal protection for Muslim consumers.
