Abstract

This paper traces the perception of Generation Z Muslims in Surabaya about marriage dowry. Data was obtained from questionnaires distributed to them, and finally received 174 respondents. Two things that were tracked were their perception of the Regional Minimum Wage-based dowry quality and quantity standards and their legal paradigm towards the idea of wage-based dowry. This study shows two important things. First, most of them disagree with wage-based dowry in the context of quantity. On the other hand, in the context of quality, they agree that dowry should be of productive value. At this point, they display a unique position because productivity is interpreted dually, wage-based standards and not. Second, they respond to this issue using four paradigms: sociological, normative, anthropological, and juridical. Sociological and juridical paradigms create the value of reciprocal protection, male and female. The normative paradigm establishes the importance of patriarchal protection. While the anthropological paradigm is more binding on the preservation of tradition. Here, it can be seen that the paradigm influence of protection on women in the context of wage-based dowry standards is quite strong, although sometimes women are trapped in a patriarchal paradigm.

Abstract

The ethical values of maqāṣid have been buried by the ḥarfiyyah-linguistic approach (ta’līlī-bayānī). The ethical paradigm of maqāṣid must be constructed to balance the ta’līlī-bayānī approach. This paper examines the philosophy of Ṭāhā ‘Abd al-Raḥmān in theorizing ethical maqāṣid. This paper focuses on two aspects. First, how does ‘Abd al-Raḥmān theorize the ethical maqāṣid? Second, how does ‘Abd al-Raḥmān conceptualize the relationship between Islamic law and ethics? This article is a literary research referring to some important books of ‘Abd al-Raḥmān. Using a moral philosophy approach, the writer concludes: first, ‘Abd al-Raḥmān’s ethical theorization of maqāṣid is a synthesis between ethics and uṣūl al-fiqh. This synthesis outlines the new pillars of maqāṣid. ‘Abd al-Raḥmān theoretically shifted legal reasoning from al-ta’līl al-sababī (attribute causality) to al-ta’līl al-ghā'i (maṣlaḥah causality). According to him, the only rationalization of Islamic law is maṣlaḥah, that is khuluq (ethics). Based on that premise, ‘Abd al-Raḥmān asserts that moderation is the accommodation of legal and ethical aspects of Islamic law. This paper recommends the importance of a moral philosophy approach to Islamic law. This approach is an effort to ground the maqāṣid in many legal cases loaded with morality.

Abstract

Critique of uṣūl al-fiqh literacy is very crucial. The scarcity of critique can lead to the risk of intellectual stagnation and an inability to address the legal needs of a constantly changing society, simultaneously causing a lack of resonance with reconstructive ideas. The study aims: 1) to explore evidence of the scarcity of studies criticizing uṣūl al-fiqh from 1890 to 2023; 2) to explain the factors influencing the scarcity of critical works, and 3) to propose steps for the reconstruction of uṣūl al-fiqh. The data sources for this article are works collected from web publishers, digital libraries, and search engines. The data obtained was mapped and analyzed, and its trends were recorded. This study finds that during the period 1890-2023, criticism was the rarest aspect in uṣūl al-fiqh literature. The factors causing the scarcity of critique vary and complement each other, involving scholarly elements, uṣūl al-fiqh factors, and surrounding policies. Although criticism of uṣūl al-fiqh is relatively rare, it does not mean there is no space for reconstruction. Through this study, readers can understand the recent developments in uṣūl al-fiqh and assess the extent to which criticism has been undertaken while reflecting on how reconstruction can be initiated once again.

Abstract

Citizenship status is important in mixed-country marriages. This research explores the important issue of citizenship in mixed marriages between Rohingya refugees and local Acehnese. The research aims to examine whether the citizenship status of the children of such marriages is based on the doctrine of revival or habitual residence. Using a literature review method with a descriptive qualitative approach, this research investigates the concepts and legal implications surrounding citizenship status in such marriages. The findings of this study reveal that the citizenship status of children born from Acehnese-Rohingya marriages follows habitual residence, even though their Rohingya parents adhere to the doctrine of revival The legal status of these children is subject to the Indonesian marriage law system. This is in line with Jasser Auda’s concept of maqāṣid sharī’ah because it prioritizes aspects of the benefit of these children. This research provides important insights into the issue of citizenship In Acehnese-Rohingya marriages and offers valuable meaning for understanding the dynamics of citizenship in these marriages.

Abstract

The dynamic and rapid development of digital business and finance requires progressive Sharia legal certainty. National Sharia Board-Indonesian Council of Ulama (Dewan Syariah Nasional – Majelis Ulama Indonesia/DSN-MUI) has issued several fatwas related to digital finance. This research aims to examine the portrait of DSN-MUI’s progressiveness towards the digital finance paradigm and aspects of Islamic legal epistemology in the DSN-MUI Fatwa with the theme of digital finance. This research uses a qualitative approach. The primary data for this research are the DSN-MUI fatwas up to 2021 with a digital theme, plus secondary data in the form of relevant literature. Data analysis uses content analysis techniques. The findings are that there are three DSN-MUI fatwas regarding digital finance in Sharia financial institutions, namely Fatwa No. 116/DSN-MUI/IX/2017, No. 117/DSN-MUI/II/2018, and No. 140/DSN-MUI/VIII/2021. These three fatwas constitute progressive Islamic business law and are important for the Sharia financial industry in Indonesia. DSN-MUI used the ta’līlī and istiṣlāḥi methods with the consideration that electronic money, digital-based financing, and crowdfunding are permissible (mubah) based on sharia principles to achieve benefit. These three DSN-MUI fatwas need to be transformed into OJK regulations and can become a source for making derivative fatwas.

Abstract

The rights of women and children after divorce are often neglected. The article examines the reality of children's and women's rights in Pekalongan City, Central Java, Indonesia, focusing on the causes of non-fulfillment and the legal consequences. Data from 10 court decisions from the Pekalongan City Religious Court revealed a gap between post-court decision reality and the fulfillment of these rights. The research found that the non-fulfillment of children's and women's rights after divorce in Pekalongan is due to a lack of public knowledge about post-divorce execution procedures and related rights. The difficulty of spouses in ensuring the fulfillment of these rights is also reflected in the lack of application of Islamic legal knowledge on the obligation to provide maintenance by husbands. The legal consequences are devastating, emphasizing the need for improvements in the legal system, increased public knowledge, and the application of Islamic legal principles.

Abstract

The joint property division in Article 97 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (Kompilasi Hukum Islam/KHI) is one-half (1/2) as long as it is not specified otherwise in the marriage agreement. This is followed mainly by judges because of the legal certainty in it, but not for wives with double burdens who work to earn a living and are also housewives. This research aims to reconstruct the joint property division through jurimetrics analysis to obtain more objective and tested results because it is based on empirical data. This research is a normative law study with a descriptive approach. The data in this study are the Compilation of Islamic Law, and concepts, as well as other laws and regulations related to the joint property division analyzed with jurimetrics to get the ideal formulation and scale of division. The results obtained include several models of joint property division for wage-earner wives (breadwinners) along with the scale of formulation which are divided into two groups, namely the joint property division with a share of one-half for the former husband and wife and the joint property division with a share other than one-half for the former husband and wife according to the role taken by both. This research can be used as a reference by judges in deciding cases of joint property, especially related to the condition that a wife is a wage-earner.

Abstract

The position of fatwa institutions in cases of blasphemy by cult groups is often seen as representing only the majority Muslims and blaming minority Muslims, as in Indonesia, or seen as a tool to suppress anti-government groups, as in Malaysia. This study aims to explain the position of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and Jawatankuasa Fatwa in handling heresy, including the reasons behind the differences in the positions and roles of the two institutions. Researchers use qualitative methods with a comparative legal approach. This study found that MUI's heretical fatwas had no legal force, the central MUI has the authority to enact heretical fatwas within MUI institutions, but not absolutely to respond to national laws, and not play a role in the criminal justice system. Meanwhile, Jawatankuasa Fatwa Kebangsaan (JFK) has the force of law with certain conditions, however, the federal state Jawatankuasa Fatwa has the authority to determine heretical fatwas to respond and strengthen state regulations (blasphemy laws). This research can be used as a reference for law enforcement in handling blasphemy cases by considering the views of MUI and Jawatankuasa Fatwa, which are regulated adequately by laws and regulations.
