Abstract

The government, in ensuring children's identity rights, has issued a policy regarding the issuance of family cards for unregistered marriages. This policy facilitates access to birth certificate registration for children from unregistered marriages. However, in practice, the implementation of this policy has sparked issues among judges and marriage registrars. The research was to analyze the debates surrounding the state legal policy on the issuance of family cards for couples in unregistered marriages in an effort to protect the civil rights of Muslim children. The study was an empirical legal research with a socio-legal approach. Primary data was obtained from legal officials from the KUA and religious courts in Kediri to describe the debates surrounding this regulation, which were then analyzed using the theory of contestation. The findings of this study indicated that children's rights in Islamic families include administrative rights as citizens and inherent rights as members of the Muslim family. The policy regulating the issuance of family cards for couples in unregistered marriages has become a polemic among Islamic legal officials, such as religious court judges, headmen, and KUA officials because it is seen as conflicting with the established Islamic family marriage rules in Indonesia. The meeting point between the two has not yet fully matured, as Islamic legal officials seek clearer regulations, emphasizing that couples in nikah siri should immediately conduct isbat nikah at the Religious Court.

Abstract

The harmonization of Islamic law through the spiritual dimension and the transformation of Islamic teachings in seems to be a disconnect between the spiritual essence of Islam and its legal framework in contemporary times. This disconnect raises questions about the extent to which current Islamic law fully embraces the spiritual principles that have become an integral part of the Nusantara heritage. Therefore, this research aimed to explore how Sheikh Washil's fiqh-sufistic can function as an Islamic legal framework, based on the spiritual principles of the Nusantara and answer contemporary issues. This research used an interdisciplinary approach with two approaches, History and Islamic Law. This research explored the literature of Sheikh Washil including his contribution to Islamic law. The findings of this study: first, fiqh-sufistic contributes to spiritual studies within a legal framework in order to understand and practice the characteristics of Islam Nusantara with an inclusive approach through the values of living ihya in da'wah and thought. Second, fiqh-sufistic presents a balanced approach to Islamic law, which is in harmony with the cultural context and heritage. The integration of fiqh-tasawuf shows the harmonization of Islamic law and the transformation of Islamic teachings in the context of the Nusantara. Third, the prevalence of fiqh-sufistic has had a transformative impact on the inclusive religious landscape, encouraging a deeper understanding of Islam as a way of life, not just a set of legal rules.

Abstract

The political conflict in Myanmar has resulted in a massive exodus of the Rohingya ethnic group from their country. The acceptance of Rohingya refugees in Aceh has sparked a societal dialectic due to the increasing number of refugees. The study focused on Islamic jurisprudence and local wisdom according to influential figures in Aceh in the protection of Rohingya immigrants. The empirical legal research method was deemed appropriate to analyze the conflict between the application of Islamic law in Aceh and the rejection of Rohingya refugees. The Islamic legal approach and local wisdom were important to analyze the context of Aceh's society, which is religious and highly values its customs. This study reveals that the handling of Rohingya refugees in Aceh, according to the views of ulama, academics, political leaders, and UNHCR Indonesia representatives, emphasizes Islamic values, Acehnese local traditions, and government policies. Ulama stresses the moral and religious obligation to assist refugees, following the Teurimong Jame tradition. Political leaders highlight the importance of government regulation to prevent negative social impacts, while UNHCR emphasizes the application of international refugee protection principles. Collaboration between society, the government, and International organizations is key to a humanitarian and structured approach to addressing the issue.

Abstract

This research examined resolving customary violations of sumbang besak in Babeko Village, Jambi, by prioritizing restorative values in customary law. Research in the context of this social realm tried to look at customary law as a whole, whether it is still regressive or is influenced by the significance of restorative discourse, which has been progressive. The aim of this research was not only to find out the mechanism for resolving conflicts and imposing punishment but also to look at the role and concept of traditional law in Babeko Village restoring disturbed relationships. Using empirical research methods and an anthropological juridical approach, data was collected through interviews with traditional leaders, observations of traditional communities, and documentation and review of related literature. The findings of this research find out the strength of the Babeko Village customary legal system, which has successfully implemented a restorative approach by prioritizing the recovery of victims, violators, and affected communities. Prioritizing dialogue and reconciliation is important in resolving cases, to produce fair and sustainable results. This concept can then become a reference in the development of the national legal system, specifically in alternative dispute resolution models.

Abstract

Child marriage is still widely practiced in many regions of Indonesia, justified by theological reasons that it is entirely permissible. Marrying children at a young age is also seen by many as an achievement, as it is believed to help prevent them from engaging in promiscuous behavior. These issues have prompted research into child marriage from the perspective of maqāṣid al-usrah. The article aimed to describe the internalization of the Sundanese tradition into child marriage law from the maqāṣid al usrah perspective. This article used qualitative field research with sociology, anthropology, and usul-fiqh approaches. Data collection techniques were interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The informants were the head of KUA (Office of Religious Affairs), mudin (imams), religious leaders, and education practitioners. The study showed that the pattern of internalizing the Sundanese tradition into child marriage law is dominant, assisted by religious leaders as a catalyst to allow child marriage laws. There is a product of fiqh in the internalization of child marriage law, entitled the book Kitab an-Nikah. But, according to maqāṣid al-usrah, the child marriage law in Brebes is irrelevant.

Abstract

Corruption in Aceh has become a serious issue, with its corruption rates over the past decade being above average compared to other provinces in Sumatra and nationally. Efforts to eradicate corruption do not solely rely on law enforcement agencies but also require the participation of various parties, including religious leaders. The study aimed to analyze the perspectives and participation of ulama (scholars) in Aceh in combating corruption. It employed an empirical legal research method with a sociological anthropological approach. The results of this study indicated that corruption in Aceh was a complex issue that requires a holistic approach and cross-sector collaboration. Ulama plays an important role in eradicating corruption through preaching and religious education that instills the values of amar ma’ruf nahi munkar (enjoining what is good and forbidding what is wrong). However, their involvement is limited to the general public without direct access to policymaking. Effective efforts require synergy between ulama, law enforcement, the government, and society to create a corruption-free culture.

Abstract

Indonesia's plural legal system, which includes Islamic, customary, and national laws, often leads to disparities in women's inheritance rights, particularly when national and customary laws interact, frequently disadvantaging women. This study aims to analyze the inheritance rights of girls in Indonesia through the lens of Wermer Menski's triangular concept of legal pluralism. It Utilizing uses a doctrinal approach focusing on legislative frameworks, concepts, cases, and interpretations,. Then, the research relies on secondary data, including primary and secondary legal materials, to draw conclusions and make recommendations. The findings reveal that inheritance rights are typically reserved for sons in patrilineal societies, while daughters are excluded but may receive gifts from the inheritance. Customary law prioritizes family harmony in inheritance distribution, allowing dissatisfied parties to pursue legal action. However, judicial decisions at lower courts vary, with some adhering to customary law that denies daughters inheritance rights while others apply state law granting daughters equal rights. The Supreme Court's Cassation Decision Number 197K/Sip/1961 affirmed equal inheritance rights for daughters, a consistently upheld stance culminating in jurisprudence Number 3/Yur/Pdt /2018. Analyzing this development through Menski's legal pluralism model suggests that women's inheritance rights in Indonesia have evolved to from level- 2 to level- 4, recognizing international legal influences. Meanwhile, Level- 5 is not by Indonesian law because the element of religious law is removed and replaced with natural law. For Level 5 to follow Indonesian law based on the Almighty God, further research is still needed.

Abstract

The rapid growth of fintech lending in Indonesia requires adequate regulation and protection for consumers, especially fund recipients, who face high risks such as intimidation and sexual harassment, high-interest charges, and misuse of personal data by fintech lending platforms. For this reason, protecting fund recipients is a primary need because it involves protecting life and property, which is integral to the benefit of maqashid sharia. The main objective of this research was to detail the concepts of empowerment and justice as pillars of protection for fund recipients in fintech lending from a maslahah perspective. The research used normative juridical methods with statutory and conceptual approaches and analyzed secondary data from document studies in a descriptive qualitative. The results showed that empowerment and protection of fund recipients in fair fintech lending align with the principle of maslahah, contribute positively to the welfare of society, and support the growth of a sustainable fintech lending industry ecosystem, and offering hope for a better future.

Abstract

The emergence of new media has a considerable impact on religion, including religious authorities’ dissemination of religious information and fatwas. This article explored on how exposure to new media affects the dissemination of religious information. Specifically, this article aimed to analyze the dissemination of the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) fatwa on Instagram. The article is a normative legal study of contemporary Islamic laws. Data has been collected by observing posts by the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) on Instagram from 2017 to 2023. The data was analyzed using content analysis methods with a socio-legal approach. This approach highlighted how fatwas work as legal norms disseminated, accepted, and interpreted by society on social media. This study found that from 2017 to 2023, there were 1093 content posted on the official Instagram account of the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI). However, of all the content, only 9.6% (105 posts) were related to fatwa. This study also found that the posted of fatwa content tends to be response-based rather than indeed programmed in a conceptualized and patterned way to build Islamic law literacy in the community. Based on these findings, it concluded that Instagram has yet to be used as a tool to build public fatwa literacy and a medium for disseminating Islamic law issued by the Indonesian Ulama Council has. The findings have significance as an academic reference for the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) and religious authority institutions in Indonesia in designing religious fatwa dissemination policies in response to the exposure of new media.

Abstract

The Samin community's local religion was interpreted as Islam by the village government. It led some groups of the Samin community to accept and others to reject this interpretation. The article aimed to explore the implications of Islamic law on the interpretation of local religion in the Samin community in Central Java. The research employed an empirical legal approach and ethnographic perspective. Primary data was obtained using observation, interview, and documentation techniques, which were then analysed using the theories of the rule of law, al-adah muhakamah, and thick description. The study demonstrated the impact of Islamic law on the local religion of the Samin community, particularly on groups that accept the interpretation of Islam, which affects how Islamic law is applied to them. Marriages are conducted through the Religious Affairs Office. Meanwhile, divorces are handled by the Religious Court. The acceptance of Islamic law by the Samin group has had an impact on legal certainty.
