Abstract

Childfree is a social phenomenon that is becoming an interesting discussion today. It deserves the attention of Islamic law. Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), through the NU Bahtsul Masail Institute (LBM-NU), has issued four fatwas synonymous with the childfree phenomenon. This article aims to analyze the childfree phenomenon from the perspective of the istinbāṭ al-aḥkām method used by NU and its relevance to the four fatwas. This article is qualitative research using a normative Islamic law approach, which examines NU’s legal decisions regarding the denial of childbirth. These decisions are then analyzed to determine the meaning and method of istinbāṭ used. This article finds two things. First, the istinbāṭ al-aḥkām method used by LBM-NU is the qawlī intiqādī method. Second, from the aspect of its application, childfree can be equated in law with decisions that have been determined by LBMNU regarding child refusal, as long as the method adopted is legal. However, from the aspect of substance, where childfree is used as a principle and lifestyle, it requires a new fatwā decision, especially with the manhajī approach.

Abstract

The lives of fishermen are said to have a profound influence on the lives of coastal towns. Their attitude toward marine resources effects their theological perspective as well. This fact is supported by Kiai Anwar's book ‘Aysh al-Baḥr, which discusses the legal position of consuming numerous aquatic animals. This article seeks to trace the book ‘Aysh al-Baḥr's understanding of culinary fiqh. As an analytical tool, this paper employs a normative approach and the notion of Islamic epistemology pioneered by al-Jābirī and Mulyadhi. This article demonstrates how the epistemology of culinary fiqh in ‘Aysh al-Baḥr employs an empirical approach to determining the legal status of ingesting animals by viewing and direct observing them. Kiai Anwar's background as a fisherman gives him an edge in developing normative and empirical reasons for marine animal laws. This conclusion demonstrates that coastal cultures have an extensive understanding of aquatic animal environments. This article suggests utilizing empirical approaches to derive rules that necessitate direct observation.__________The original draft of this article has been presented at the 20th Annual International Conference on Islamic Studies (AICIS), Surakarta, 2021.

Abstract

The claim for child’s nafaqah māḍiyah (past income) is often overlooked in the rulings of the Religious Court. This research aims to propose a shifting from the concept of li al-intifā’ (benefit) to li al-tamlīk (ownership) regarding child’s living costs claims in the Religious Court, employing the istihsān (juristic preference) approach. The objective is to ensure a more equitable judgment for the child. This study was conducted as a literature review using a normative juridical approach. The research findings reveal that the legal standpoint, which rejects any claim for child’s nafaqah māḍiyah in the Religious Court based on the argument that child’s living costs is categorized as li al-intifā’, contradicts Islamic legal principles regarding child’s living costs and fails to fulfill the principles of justice, as well as being incongruent with several other legislative provisions related to child protection. Therefore, this article proposes a shifting from the concept of li al-intifā’ to li al-tamlīk in determining child’s nafaqah māḍiyah in the Religious Court.

Abstract

Human interaction with information and communication technologies has created a new culture in the digital age. It impacts new legal issues that demand solutions based on Islamic law. A theory incorporating culture in law construction is termed ‘urf’ in uṣūl al-fiqh. The purpose of this article is to investigate the role of ‘urf in the establishment of law for cyberspace problems. As a data source, this article employs a virtual ethnographic method with cyberculture products. The application of ‘urf in adapting culture in cyberspace is studied using Jasser Auda’s maqāṣid al-sharī'ah theory. This study discovered that culture in cyberspace is generated by netizens’ externalization, objectivation, and internalization processes. The ‘urf that applies in cyberspace is included in the ‘urf khaṣṣ. Meanwhile, the stated legislation must allude to the realization of human advantage, which means that the six aspects of Jasser Auda’s system must be considered when negotiating between revelation, fiqh, and ‘urf in cyberspace. Thus, the ‘urf of cyberspace can be employed as a legal element in digital-era situations.

Abstract

The excellent potential of benefit waqf has not been fully realized since nāẓir or the community failed to develop a strategy and did not innovate enough on the advantages of waqf and its administration. One of the successful principals in administering benefits waqf is the Tazakka Modern Boarding School with its innovation and programs on endowment benefits. This study intends to identify the benefit waqf development approach for Tazakka Modern Boarding School for economic independence. With a descriptive strategy, this study employs a qualitative methodology. The results of this study demonstrate that the development of benefit waqf in Tazakka is advantageous for economic independence with three distinct benefit waqf categories. So, for future researchers to be able to discuss professional nāẓir with good management and strategy, to maximize the potential and role of beneficial waqf in improving the economy and people's welfare.

Abstract

The Arab Spring emerged due to a political crisis in most Arab countries that wanted a change from dictatorial regimes to democratic systems in their countries. One of the most prominent issues that caused controversy during the revolution was the issue of al-khurūj 'alā al-ḥākim. This article aims to analyze the meaning of revolution from an Islamic political perspective by discussing the concept of al-khurūj 'alā al-ḥākim, especially towards the three terms: al-bāghī, al-khawārij and al-ḥirābah. This article clarifies the relationship between these three terms with the phenomenon of revolution in the contemporary Islamic world. This article uses a jurisprudential approach with an inductive method by extrapolating jurisprudential sources and references related to the research subject. This article concludes that the notion of revolution is not the same as the concept of al-khurūj 'alā al-ḥākim in Islamic jurisprudence. The reason is that revolution aims to change the political, social and economic reality. In contrast, khurūj is a form of resistance to the leader and does not carry out all the rights demanded of the ruler. In the present context, the redefinition of the concept of al-khurūj 'alā al-ḥākim in Islamic jurisprudence is necessary to suit the modern era.

Abstract

Guardianship supervisory has been a dilemma in the Indonesian legal system. The article assesses the practice of guardianship supervisory in Indonesia by comparing two prominent institutions, Baitul Mal Aceh (BMA) and the Heirloom Board (Balai Harta Peninggalan or BHP). The article focuses on understanding these organizations’ roles and responsibilities in preserving and managing guardianship supervisory. The article uses normative juridicial method to examine how Baitul Mal Aceh and BHP become guardian supervisors and their differences and similarities by reading norms, laws, journals, and the like. The article found that Baitul Mal Aceh has been unable to carry out its duties because of a lack of operational regulation (i.e., Governor’s Regulation) of Qanun Baitul Mal, while BHP only focuses on non-Muslim related issues. These two institutions work independently and cannot support each other. Dualism and lack of implementing regulations in guardianship institutions in Indonesia have posed a dilemma for ensuring proper guardianship over the personal and property of children who are not yet mature or not married under court decisions. The article sheds light on the limitations and complexity of guardianship and its surrounding issues in both institutions.

Abstract

Ancient manuscripts with uṣūl al-fiqh themes remain rare amidst the increasing efforts to inventory, categorize, and digitize old manuscripts in present-day Indonesia. Nevertheless, literacy initiatives related to uṣūl al-fiqh can still be identified within manuscripts exploring different subjects. This study aims to elucidate how a non-uṣūl al-fiqh-themed manuscript can encompass uṣūl al-fiqh insights intended for a local community. Employing a documentary approach, it relies on primary data from Risālah Marḍiyah by Shaykh Mukhtar Ambai Kerinci. Subsequently, content analysis utilizing a qualitative model captures messages, meanings, linguistic styles, and symbolic interactions. The study reveals that uṣūl al-fiqh’s topics in the manuscript are conveyed using five methods: illustration and exemplification, the statement-argument-example pattern, comparison, argumentative conjunction, if-then pattern, and citation models. The argument posits that scholarly uṣūl al-fiqh literacy efforts in the past need not be solely assessed by the quantity of ancient uṣūl al-fiqh-themed manuscripts; instead, they can be discerned in other manuscripts employing more operationally creative, contextual, and easily comprehensible delivery methods, serving a broader audience.
