A comprehensive understanding of Islamic law cannot be separated from the historical context of its formation, known as the Tarikh Tasyri'. This research aims to examine the urgency of studying the Tarikh Tasyri' in order to understand Islamic law completely and contextually. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative approach through content analysis of various primary and secondary sources. The research results show that without understanding the historical background of a law, the risk of distortion of meaning and inappropriate application is very high. Tarikh Tasyri' provides an important methodological framework for understanding the dynamics of law formation, and is the basis for modern ijtihad in responding to the challenges of the times. The implications of this research suggest the need to strengthen the teaching of Tarikh Tasyri' in the Islamic education curriculum and its application in contemporary legal practice and fatwas.

This research analyzes the legal development of Islamic banking in Indonesia and Malaysia through a comparative law approach. Islamic banking has become an important component of the global financial system, yet its growth varies across countries. Indonesia's Islamic banking industry, while experiencing significant progress in recent years, still faces regulatory and institutional challenges. In contrast, Malaysia has emerged as a global hub for Islamic finance due to its integrated regulatory framework, strong government support, centralized Shariah compliance system, and established human resource development. This study employs normative legal research using primary and secondary legal sources, and applies comparative legal theory. The findings highlight the importance of legal harmonization, centralization of fatwa authorities, active government involvement, and comprehensive infrastructure development in supporting the growth of Islamic banking. Lessons from Malaysia's experience can serve as valuable references for Indonesia to enhance its Islamic banking industry and improve its competitiveness in the global market.

This study explores the ethical perspectives of genetic editing from two distinct frameworks: Islamic bioethics and global medical ethics. Both ethical systems emphasize the protection of human dignity and the prevention of harm, aligning with the broader goal of promoting health. However, significant differences emerge when addressing the issue of genetic editing, particularly in relation to human procreation. While global bioethics focuses on universal human rights, Islamic bioethics introduces religious principles rooted in Sharia law, such as Maqasid al-Sharia (objectives of Sharia) and Maslahah (public interest), to guide the ethical evaluation of genetic technologies. The findings reveal that while both frameworks agree on the importance of medical necessity, the treatment-enhancement distinction plays a critical role in Islamic perspectives, leading to more cautious stances on genetic modifications aimed at enhancing non-medical traits. The study also underscores the cultural and regional variations in Islamic bioethics, reflecting how different Islamic schools of thought impact fatwa decisions on genetic editing. In comparison, global bioethics aims to establish universal principles, often focusing on human rights, equality, and equity. The paper concludes by recommending more inclusive discussions between Islamic scholars and global bioethicists to bridge the gap between religious ethics and global standards. This would help ensure that genetic technologies are applied ethically, respecting both cultural values and universal human rights, and addressing the challenges posed by emerging genetic technologies.

By applying appropriate technology and a digital approach, this initiative serves as a replicable model of village empowerment through local innovation, contributing to long-term economic growth and ecological awareness in rural areas.

The development of the Islamic financial industry in Indonesia has shown significant growth, both in terms of institutions, products, and public participation. However, public doubts remain regarding the level of Sharia compliance of these financial products. Halal certification is a crucial instrument for ensuring that a financial product truly complies with Sharia principles. This study aims to analyze the urgency of halal certification for Islamic financial products and its implications for consumer trust from a Sharia economic law perspective. The research method used is qualitative with a normative-juridical approach through a literature review of laws and regulations, fatwas from the National Sharia Council (DSN-MUI), and previous research findings. The results indicate that halal certification for Islamic financial products plays a strategic role in increasing transparency, accountability, and public trust. However, there is regulatory overlap between Law Number 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Assurance and the provisions of the Financial Services Authority (OJK). Therefore, harmonization of regulations and strengthening oversight by the Sharia Supervisory Board are crucial steps in ensuring the integrity of the Islamic financial system.

The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) has a very important role in providing religious and social guidance for Muslims in Indonesia. The history of the MUI began in 1975, with the aim of strengthening the unity of Muslims and issuing fatwas in accordance with Islamic teachings. Over time, the MUI has developed into a very influential institution in determining religious policies in Indonesia. One of the main commissions in the MUI is the Fatwa Commission, which is tasked with issuing fatwas related to current religious issues, especially in facing the challenges of the times and social problems that continue to develop. This study aims to explore the urgency of the role of the MUI Fatwa Commission in issuing fatwas that are in accordance with the needs of the Indonesian people. In addition, this study also discusses the istinbath method applied by the MUI Fatwa Commission in issuing fatwas, as well as its application to contemporary issues. This istinbath method refers to the process of deriving law from the main sources of Islam, such as the Qur'an, Hadith, Ijma', and Qiyas, taking into account the existing social context and dynamics. The results of the study show that the MUI Fatwa Commission has a very great urgency in responding to various problems of Muslims, especially those related to modern issues such as sharia economics, technology, and health issues. Through the istinbath method, the MUI has succeeded in providing fatwas that are not only based on classical texts, but are also relevant to current developments. For example, in the matter of sharia economics, the MUI has issued a fatwa that supports the sharia financial system while still paying attention to the applicable fiqh rules.

This study aims to examine the legal foundation and operational principles of Islamic banking in Indonesia. The background of this research stems from the necessity of a comprehensive understanding of the legitimacy and Sharia-based principles that underpin banking activities within the Islamic financial system. This research uses a literature review method by analyzing legal documents such as Law Number 21 of 2008 and fatwas issued by the National Sharia Council of MUI, along with other academic references. The findings indicate that Islamic banking in Indonesia is built upon a strong legal framework and clear Sharia principles, such as the prohibition of usury (riba), justice, and transparency. However, there are still challenges in the practical implementation of these principles, particularly in terms of public understanding and consistent interpretation. This research is expected to serve as an initial reference for strengthening legal literacy and Sharia principles in banking, and to support the development of a more inclusive Islamic financial system.

This study aims to analyze the legal protection of customers within the Islamic banking system in Indonesia, both normatively and practically. In Islamic economic principles, customer protection is not merely a legal obligation, but a moral and religious responsibility rooted in the values of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly in ensuring justice (al-‘adl), trust (tsiqah), and protection of wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl). This research applies a qualitative-descriptive approach through literature review and normative juridical analysis of statutory regulations, DSN-MUI fatwas, and relevant Islamic legal doctrines. The findings indicate that although legal frameworks such as Law No. 21 of 2008, DSN-MUI fatwas, and OJK regulations offer a substantial basis for customer protection, implementation faces several challenges. These include information asymmetry between banks and customers, low Islamic financial literacy, insufficient monitoring of standard contracts, and limited access to Sharia-based dispute resolution mechanisms. Therefore, the study recommends reformulating contract structures, strengthening the role of the Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS), and enhancing public education regarding their rights as Islamic banking customers. Legal protection must be both formally legal and ethically grounded in Islamic justice.

This study examines the relationship between the hadith of H.R. Tirmidzi No. 1232 concerning the prohibition of selling goods that are not yet owned with Article 4 Paragraph (1) of Law No. 21/2008 concerning the intermediary function of Islamic banking in Indonesia. With a descriptive-analytical approach with a juridical-normative method, this study reveals significant gaps in the implementation of regulations. While the hadith provides theological guidelines that require actual ownership before the contract, the fragmented regulatory framework results in inconsistent interpretations by the Sharia Supervisory Board in various institutions. Analysis of SINTA indexed journals shows that many Islamic banking products still contain elements of gharar (uncertainty), especially in murabahah contracts with installment payments. This study identifies three main issues: the limited explicit regulation in the DSN-MUI fatwa regarding hybrid contracts, structural challenges in Indonesia's decentralized regulatory approach compared to Malaysia's centralized model, and the gap between theoretical discourse and practical implementation. To strengthen the synergy between religious principles and regulatory mandates, this study recommends harmonization of the regulatory framework, implementation of intensive training for supervisory boards on the contextual background of related hadiths, and development of integrated compliance audits to assess product consistency with hadith guidance and legal requirements.    

This scientific paper examines various types of contracts and products in Islamic banking based on the principles of Islamic law. Islamic banks have a mission not only as financial intermediary institutions, but also as drivers of the values ​​of social justice, transparency, and blessings. This study aims to examine the implementation of Islamic contracts such as mudharabah, musyarakah, murabahah, ijarah, wakalah, and product development based on the principles of tabarru' and tijarah. The methods used are literature studies and descriptive analysis of DSN-MUI fatwas, OJK regulations, and empirical practices of Islamic banking in Indonesia. The results of the study indicate that although the implementation of contracts has referred to Islamic principles, there are still legal challenges, such as dualism of the legal system, disharmony of fatwas, and limited human resources. Therefore, synchronization of regulations and strengthening of Islamic literacy are needed to ensure sustainable Islamic compliance.

This study explores the synergy between investment decisions and sharia compliance validation in developing financial products for SMEs, with a case study of PT Syariah Sejahtera. The research emphasizes the importance of integrating halal principles into investment analysis using methods such as Payback Period (PBP), Net Present Value (NPV), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The validation process involves systematic steps, including initial identification, legal analysis, consultation with the Sharia Supervisory Board, and issuance of fatwas to ensure products comply with Islamic law. Results demonstrate that effective integration enhances product credibility, attracts market interest, and contributes to economic and social welfare, especially in the agricultural SME sector. The findings suggest that combining financial analysis with strict halal validation fosters sustainable growth of sharia-based financial services, reinforcing trust and regulatory compliance.

This article discusses the dynamics of zakat fatwas in Indonesia, focusing on the process of fatwa formation by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS). This study highlights how zakat fatwas are not only religious in nature, but also closely related to social and political dimensions. Through a normative and sociological approach, this article examines how zakat fatwas respond to social changes, including the expansion of zakat objects and the integration of zakat management into the national system. This study shows that zakat fatwas play an important role in strengthening zakat governance and forming collective awareness of the community in carrying out zakat obligations systematically and in an organized manner.

PT Bank Syariah's use of mudharabah concepts in Islamic accounting is examined in this paper. An agreement for profit sharing between the fund manager (mudharib) and the fund owner (shahibul maal) is known as mudharabah. The purpose of this research is to investigate how well mudharabah concepts align with the National Sharia Council's Fatwa and PSAK No. 105. The results show that PT Bank Syariah has applied mudharabah accounting principles in accordance with PSAK 105 in measuring, recognizing, presenting, and disclosing mudharabah financing transactions. However, the implementation of mudharabah pillars and conditions has not fully complied with the Fatwa of the National Sharia Council. Transaction recording uses the completion date method and cash recognition. Mudharabah investments are presented at their carrying value. Nevertheless, the portion of mudharabah financing is still smaller compared to murabahah contracts. This study concludes that PT Bank Syariah needs to improve the conformity of mudharabah principles with the Fatwa of the National Sharia Council.

This study aims to analyze the influence of the implementation of the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage on the spiritual transformation of pilgrims. This study aims to analyze the influence of the implementation of the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage on the spiritual transformation of pilgrims. Qualitative research methods with a phenomenological approach were used to collect and analyze data from 20 respondents of Hajj and Umrah pilgrims in the Al Fatwa Group Hajj & Umrah Guidance group. Qualitative research methods with a phenomenological approach were used to collect and analyze data from 20 respondents of Hajj and Umrah pilgrims who followed guidance in the Al Fatwa Hajj & Umrah group. The results showed that 90% of respondents experienced an increase in spiritual awareness, while 85% experienced positive behavioral changes, such as increased patience and honesty. As many as 80% of respondents reported deep spiritual experiences during worship, and 75% increased involvement in religious activities after following guidance. Factors that influence this spiritual transformation include the quality of spiritual guidance, self-awareness, spiritual environment, and deep worship experiences. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the role of the Hajj and Umrah in shaping the character and spirituality of the people, as well as the importance of effective guidance in the process.

The urgency of consumer protection in Sharia-compliant transactions has become increasingly prominent alongside the growth of the halal industry and rising public awareness of transactional justice based on Islamic principles. This study aims to formulate the theoretical and normative construction of consumer protection within the framework of Islamic law and to assess its compatibility with Indonesia’s positive legal system. Employing a normative juridical approach combined with a descriptive-analytical method, this research explores primary legal sources including Qur’anic verses, the hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and scholarly opinions found in classical and contemporary fiqh al-mu‘āmalāt literature, as well as secondary legal sources such as Law Number 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection, fatwas of the National Sharia Council (DSN-MUI), and relevant academic literature. The analysis is conducted through content analysis to extract the values of justice, transparency, and balance of rights and obligations within contractual mechanisms. This study finds that core principles such as truthfulness (ṣidq), disclosure (bayān), and justice (‘adālah) constitute the essential foundation of consumer protection in the Islamic legal perspective. The prohibition of gharar (uncertainty), riba (usury), and tadlīs (fraudulent misrepresentation) is not merely a moral injunction but an integral safeguard mechanism for consumer rights. Furthermore, the institutional presence of supervisory bodies such as DSN-MUI and Sharia certification mechanisms has proven to be strategic, though they continue to face challenges in implementation, socialization, and consumer literacy. The findings also indicate a substantial opportunity for harmonizing Islamic legal principles with the national legal system within the framework of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening sectoral regulations based on Sharia principles, integrating fatwas into positive legal norms, and enhancing educational capacity for both business actors and consumers in order to realize ethical, equitable, and sustainable transactions.

Mahdah worship holds a central position in Islamic teachings as a pure form of servitude to Allah SWT. Due to its tauqifi nature, the implementation of mahdah worship must strictly adhere to the provisions of the Sharia without additions or modifications. This study aims to examine and analyze specific fiqh principles that serve as guidelines in the practice of mahdah worship. A qualitative method with a library research approach was employed, through an in-depth review of classical and contemporary literature related to fiqh principles. The findings indicate that principles such as "the default rule in worship is tauqifi," "purity is not limited by time," and "no analogy (qiyas) applies to acts of worship whose rationale is unknown" function to safeguard the authenticity of worship practices from deviation. Understanding these principles is crucial to prevent innovations (bid‘ah) and to ensure that every act of worship remains aligned with Sharia directives. Furthermore, mastery of these principles assists muftis and jurists in issuing consistent and coherent fatwas. The implications of this study highlight the significance of fiqh education in strengthening the community’s awareness of authentic worship and providing a solid framework for evaluating religious practices amidst contemporary socio-religious dynamics.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of sanctions against wealthy customers who delay payments in the perspective of DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 17/DSN-MUI/IX/2000. The study was conducted at PT. BPRS Alwashliyah Gunung Krakatau Medan with a normative and empirical legal approach. The results of the study indicate that the application of sanctions against customers who delay payments is an effort by banks to maintain the smoothness of the financing system. The application of the DSN-MUI fatwa provides a legal basis for Islamic banks in imposing sanctions on wealthy customers who neglect to fulfill their obligations. This fatwa also strengthens the position of banks in the Indonesian civil law system.
