{"title":"The Difference of a Child (Walad) Concept in Islamic Inheritance Law and its Implications on The Decisions of the Religious Courts in Indonesia","authors":"Ana Amalia Furqan, Alfitri Alfitri, Akhmad Haries","doi":"10.21093/mj.v17i2.1212","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21093/mj.v17i2.1212","url":null,"abstract":"This article is based on the fact that there is still the disparity of decisions among the Religious Court Judges on heirs, especially a child (walad), when handling the inheritance disputes. This is because there is a general provision of the meaning of walad contained in the Indonesian Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) in which it includes both a son and a daughter. In addition, there is no obligation for Religious Court Judges to use the KHI as the basis for legal considerations, allowing for some Religious Court Judges to use the classical Islamic Jurisprudence (fiqh) as the legal basis in deciding a case. This article aims to investigate the impact of the general concept of walad (a child) and measures should be taken the Government to accommodate the legal reference material for Religious Court Judges, especially the KHI and the classical Islamic Jurisprudence (fiqh). It employs normative legal research which primarily examines the decisions of the Religious Courts in East Kalimantan, specifically Samarinda, Tenggarong and Tanah Grogot. The findings reveal that since there is no obligation for the Judges to use the KHI, referring to the classical Islamic Jurisprudence when giving legal considerations and deciding cases of inheritance is not against the procedural law in Indonesia. Yet, this measure potentially creates the disparity of decisions in the Religious Courts since the fiqh differs in determining who the walad is: merely sons or include both sons and daughters. This has frustrated the objective of the KHI as the codification of Islamic Law in Indonesia which unites the differences of opinions in the fiqh and, thus, assures legal certainty in resolving the disputes. Hence, the government should enact the KHI as a Law in Indonesia in order to end the forum of choice for the Judges in basing their decisions so that the disparity of decisions in the Religious Court minimized and legal certainty assured for the justice seekers.Keywords: Islamic inheritance law, walad, fiqh, religious court's decision AbstrakArtikel ini didasarkan pada kenyataan bahwa masih ada perbedaan keputusan di antara Hakim Pengadilan Agama tentang ahli waris, terutama anak (walad), ketika menangani sengketa warisan. Ini karena ada ketentuan umum tentang makna walad yang terkandung dalam Kompilasi Hukum Islam Indonesia (KHI) di mana itu mencakup anak laki-laki dan perempuan. Selain itu, tidak ada kewajiban bagi Hakim Pengadilan Agama untuk menggunakan KHI sebagai dasar untuk pertimbangan hukum, yang memungkinkan beberapa Hakim Pengadilan Agama untuk menggunakan fiqh sebagai dasar hukum dalam memutuskan suatu kasus. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki dampak dari konsep umum walad (anak) dan langkah-langkah yang harus diambil Pemerintah untuk mengakomodasi bahan referensi hukum bagi para Hakim Pengadilan Agama, khususnya KHI dan fiqh.

This management includes the coaching, service, and protection of the pilgrims from Indonesia, in Saudi Arabia, to returning to the homeland. This law also stipulates that the authority to conduct Hajj pilgrimage management is not only vested to the Ministry of Religious Affairs but also may involve the local government. This article aims to look at the role of local governments in providing service assistance and legal protection to the conduct of Hajj pilgrimage by means of regional regulations or bylaws. Using a normative approach, this article analyzes the extent to which the importance of bylaws in helping implement services for pilgrims. The results of this study confirm that there are 3 important arguments for why the local government must issue regional regulations to provide legal services and protection for pilgrims. First, philosophically, the pilgrimage journey does not depart from Jakarta only, but through the origin area which is still in the corridors of power of the local government. Second, sociologically, it is a form of the local government responsibility to the local people who perform the Hajj pilgrimage. Third, juridically, bylaws should regulate technical matters in order to provide optimal service in the conduct of the Hajj pilgrimage which is pursuant to the Law and regulations on Hajj pilgrimage in Indonesia.Keywords: legal protection, hajj pilgrims, regional regulation.AbstrakUndang-Undang penyelenggaraan ibadah haji mengamanatkan pengelolaan pelaksanaan ibadah haji yang meliputi pembinaan, pelayanan, dan perlindungan jamaah haji semenjak dari tanah air, di Arab Saudi, hingga kembali ke tanah air. Undang-undang ini juga memerintahkan kewenangan pelayanan masalah haji tidak hanya pada kementerian Agama, namun boleh melibatkan pemerintah daerah. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk melihat peran pemerintah daerah dalam memberikan bantuan layanan dan perlindungan hukum melalui peraturan daerah. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan normatif, artikel ini menganalisis sejauh mana pentingnya peraturan daerah menjadi peraturan di tingkat daerah dalam membantu melaksanakan pelayanan terhadap jamaah haji. Hasil dari artikel ini menegaskan bahwa terdapat 3 argumen penting mengapa Pemerintah Daerah harus mengeluarkan peraturan daerah guna memberikan pelayanan dan perlindungan hukum bagi jamaah haji. Pertama, secara filosofis perjalanan ibadah haji tidak berangkat dari Jakarta, tetapi melalui daerah asal yang masih dalam koridor pemerintah daerah. Kedua, Kedua, secara sosiologis sebagai bentuk tanggung jawab Pemerintah Daerah kepada masyarakat daerah yang menunaikan ibadah haji.

The theory used is the Maqashid ash-Shariah theory, to find out whether or not the objectives of sharia law are maintained in the religious practices which intersect with the economic dimension. This becomes relevant because for a Muslim the conformity with the objectives of sharia is the materialization of maslahah which is the wisdom of establishing a law in Islam. It employs a normative approach in the perspective of Maqashid jurisprudence. The results of this study indicate that in the Islamic context, there are several things that reveal the symptoms of religious commodification which are packaged in various forms of industry. Some types of industry still exist which are built with economic rationality to seek mere worldly benefits and ignore the principles of benefit. For this type of business practice, the government with its various instruments or institutions must continue to carry out sharia-compliant supervision. Meanwhile for the sharia-based business practices or industries, there is no legal issue in complying with sharia objectives there.KeywordsCommodification of religion, Maqasid al-Sharia, Islamic law, religion with economic dimensions AbstrakTulisan ini membahas masalah komodifikasi agama dalam Islam, yaitu melihat perspektif hukum Islam terhadap suatu proses yang mengarahkan simbol-simbol dan ekspresi keberagamaan Umat Muslim dalam kerangka market-based power sebagai komoditas atau objek bisnis. Teori yang digunakan adalah teori Maqashid  asy-Syariáh, untuk mengetahui tetap terjaga atau tidak-nya maksud atau tujuan penetapan hukum syariah dalam praktek-praktek agama dalam dimensi ekonomi tersebut. Hal ini menjadi relevan karena bagi seorang muslim kesesuaian dengan tujuan syariah yaitu tercapainya maslahah yang merupakan hikmah ditetapkannya suatu hukum dalam Islam merupakan hal yang sangat prinsip. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan normatif dalam perspektif fiqih Maqashid. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam konteks Islam, terdapat beberapa hal yang menampakkan adanya gejala komodivikasi agama yang dikemas dalam berbagai bentuk Industri. Beberapa jenis industri masih ada yang dibangun dengan rasionalitas Ekonomi untuk mencari keuntungan duniawi semata dan mengabaikan prinsip-prinsip kemaslahatan. Untuk praktek tersebut, pemerintah dengan berbagai instrumen atau lembaga yang dimilikinya harus terus melakukan pengawasan. Sedangkan untuk berbagai industri dan praktek bisnis yang berbasis syariah dan mengedepankan maslahah− yang maknanya lebih luas dari sekadar utility atau kepuasan dalam terminologi ekonomi konvensional−maka tidak ada persoalan hukum secara syariah.Kata kunciKomodifikasi agama, Maqasid al-Syariah, Hukum Islam, Agama dala","PeriodicalId":31362,"journal":{"name":"Mazahib","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45848379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Program of Circuit Isbat Nikah as the Embodiment of Access to Justice in Indonesia","authors":"Lilik Andaryuni","doi":"10.21093/MJ.V17I1.1054","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21093/MJ.V17I1.1054","url":null,"abstract":"Human rights guaranteed by the Constitution require, among other things, that every citizen should be able to access the judiciary. In reality, however, not all citizens can access the judiciary in Indonesia due to various factors including litigation costs, ignorance of litigation procedures, and distance problem. The same situation is also experienced by the society seeking for justice through Islamic judiciary ( Pengadilan Agama or PA) across Indonesia. One of the Religious Courts deserved for a case study is PA Tenggarong. PA Tenggarong is one of the Religious Courts in East Kalimantan, which covers two district areas, namely Kutai Barat and Kutai Kartanegara. Kutai Barat consists of 12 sub-districts with 182 villages, while Kutai Kartanegara has 18 sub-districts with 227 villages. The geographical conditions and locations of the villages are mostly far away from the PA Tenggarong that render it difficult for the justice seekers in accessing the court, and, thus, obtaining their rights. Their legal problems mainly come from their unregistered marriages which make their unions do not exist according to the effective law. Hence, this article analyzes how the program of the legalization of unregistered marriages ( isbat nikah ) in PA Tenggarong has been implemented in order to assist the justice seekers in securing the legal certainty of marriage status. The finding reveals that the process of the legalization of marriage is conducted as a circuit marriage contract in different sub-district/village office or decent premises across Kutai Barat and Kutai Kartanegara. The program is free for eligible parties and is facilitative towards their needs and conditions, namely lacks of legal documents, ignorance of the litigation procedures, and afar domicile. This thus makes PA Tenggarong now more accessible to the public and the circuit isbat nikah as the embodiment of access to justice principle in Indonesi a.

Its main contention is that women in Muslim society are accorded less favourable treatment especially in terms of legal rights. To remedy the situation, feminist scholarship`s main argument is that there is a need for feminist-reading of the sacred texts so as to purge the juristic legacy of male-biased views and achieve justice and equality for Muslim women in contemporary families. One principal methodological framework for this idea to materialise is to embark on the re-reading of the Qur`an from the women`s perspective. In this context, this paper presents issue-based analysis of Amina Wadud`s reading of the relevant Qur`anic passages on family law matters and finds that in spite of its merits, its main handicap lies on its methodological flaws, both in terms of approach and outcome. Methodologically, it is regarded as selective and ultra-vires of Islamic methodology of legal reform. It terms of impact, it is suspected as being tainted with Western inspired assumptions of rights in terms of justice and equality between the genders. To overcome this impasse, the paper argues for a mediated holistic approach to harmonise relations between men and women in the family.  Keywords : Family law, gender equality, justice, Muslim feminist.","PeriodicalId":31362,"journal":{"name":"Mazahib","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45054685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The discussed issue in this paper is a conflict of interest between knowledge privatization and distribution, and its relation to the Islamic norms. This paper argues that the main problem of the concept is that the discourse is dominated by the idea of knowledge privatization by the publishers as capitalists, supported by the Government through the policy represented in Copyright law. This study finds that there are several movements emerged in response to the development of copyright law. At least, there are two stream movements; anti copyright movement and movement which demand copyright reform . By presenting examples of copyright resistance movements in the academic world such as Sci-Hub, Libgen, A2K movement, and some copyright experiences in the Muslim world, this article will be guided by Foucauldian genealogical discourse theory. This article confirms that the interests of publishers and academic interests are two things that are difficult to discuss in order to achieve a win win solution. While copyright laws favor the ruling interests of things, it does not fully effective in handling the legal cases on academic and non-profit matters. Besides, Islamic law has its own ambivalence to the copyright case. On the one hand, Islam advocates the widespread dissemination of knowledge, but on the other hand the Muslim worlds have to limit the spread of the sciences in accordance with the interests of intellectual property rights.

We all know that we want isn’t necessarily good for us, but before I am accused of paternalism (heaven forbid that doctors should know best how to run their practices), ask yourself this: in how many of these surveys were patients asked whether, in return for rapid access for any problem, however trivial, they were prepared to pay the prices of (a) lack of choice of doctor, (b) being triaged away from the doctor, (c) telephone advice as a substitute for a face-to-face consultation and (d) lack of follow-up care and continuity? Practices and their patients are discovering that these are the consequences of prioritising rapid access, as complaints about lack of appointments are replaced by complaints about lack of choice and continuity. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Apridar","doi":"10.21093/mj.v17i1.1022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21093/mj.v17i1.1022","url":null,"abstract":"This article examines the role of ulama in the implementation of Sharia in Aceh by focusing on the study of their fatwa concerning apostasies and heresy. Since the time of the Aceh Sultanate, the role of the ulama has been prominent as the royal judges who applied sharia due to the status Aceh as the region that embraces Sunni Islam as the official schools of jurisprudence and theology. This situation continues in the period of independence and it has legally been further strengthened in the post-Soeharto regime (reformation era) by the special autonomy status granted to Aceh that includes the right to implement sharia in full. Based on the special autonomy, the council of ulama in Aceh, known as Majelis Permusyawaratan Ulama (the Consultative Assembly of Ulama) or MPU) is officially instuted as the government partner and vested with the authority to issue religious edicts (fatwa) and give considerations regarding the problems of governance, development, community development, and Islamic economy to the government. With regards to Islamic theology, the MPU has the authority to determine the orthodoxy of a religious group by issuing fatwa. As studied, there are fourteen fatwa issued by the MPU on sects and religious movements flourished in Aceh which are deemed to be deviating from Islamic orthodoxy; those include Shiah, Millata Abraham, and Gafatar.   From in-depth studies of the fatwa, this article reveals that the influential role of ulama in Aceh in the life of society and government comes from three legitimations, namely; history, legal, and social. This thus has made the society and government feel bound by the MPU fatwa on apostasies and heresies which prompt the Aceh government to ban the groups despite freedom of religion guaranteed by the constitution. This condition is theoretically appealing because, as far as the legal system of Indonesia is a concern, obeying a fatwa is a matter moral compliance instead of legal compliance.
