The position of the mahram in Islamic marriage law is an important aspect that regulates who can be married and who cannot. Mahrams are divided into two categories: mahram mu'abbad and mahram ghairu mu'abbad. Initially, this law was based on tradition and nasab, but in the contemporary context, the understanding of mahram needs to be adapted to societal developments and practical needs without ignoring sharia principles. This journal will analyze the position of the mahram in Islamic marriage law, between tradition and contemporary needs.

This paper examines the influence of Qatar’s Islamic identity on its policies during the 2022 FIFA World Cup, with a focus on LGBTQ rights. Using a constructivist approach, the study explores how Qatar’s adherence to Islamic principles, particularly Sharia law, shaped its regulations and responses to international pressures. Qatar's prohibition of LGBTQ symbols, despite assurances of safety for all attendees, including the LGBTQ community, drew significant criticism from Western nations and human rights organizations. The study highlights the tension between Qatar’s cultural and religious values and global expectations surrounding inclusivity and human rights. It also explores the broader implications of Qatar’s policies, reflecting its challenge of balancing traditional Islamic values while hosting a global event. Ultimately, this research sheds light on the complexities of cultural diplomacy and the difficulties nations like Qatar face in navigating conflicting global and local norms.

Misyar marriage is a form of marriage that emerged in Muslim society, where both parties agree to waive some of the rights and obligations that usually exist in traditional marriages, such as maintenance and housing. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of Misyar marriage from the perspective of Islamic law, the objectives of sharia (maqashid asy-syari’ah), and its impact in social and moral contexts. The study was conducted using a normative approach to sources of Islamic law, such as the Qur'an, hadith, and the views of contemporary scholars. The results of the study indicate that Misyar marriage is valid according to sharia because it fulfills the pillars and requirements of marriage, such as ijab, qabul, guardian, witnesses, and dowry. However, scholars have different opinions regarding its law. Yusuf Qardhawi and Wahbah Zuhaili allow Misyar marriage on the condition that the wife is willing to waive her rights, while Muhammad Az-Zuhaili forbids it because it is considered contrary to the main purpose of marriage, which is to build a harmonious, just, and affectionate family. Meanwhile, Ibn Uthaymeen took a tawaqquf (cautious) position because even though it is valid, Misyar marriage has the potential to deviate from the maqashid asy-syari’ah. This study concludes that although Misyar marriage can be a pragmatic solution in certain situations, such as to meet biological needs or certain social conditions, this practice tends to raise ethical issues, injustice, and harm women. Therefore, it is recommended that couples considering Misyar marriage understand its implications in depth and seek solutions that are more in line with the principles of justice and harmony in Islam.

The Consumer Protection Law (UU 22/2020) has provided a legal basis for consumer protection in the banking industry.  The implementation of this law is important in the Islamic banking industry due to its consistency with sharia values which place justice and balance as the main principles.  The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of the Consumer Protection Act in the Islamic banking industry and evaluate the effectiveness of its implementation.  This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study.  Data was collected through analysis of book literature and analysis of documents related to the implementation of the Consumer Protection Act.  The results of the study show how actual implementation of the Consumer Protection Law is in its operational procedures.  However, there are several challenges in implementation, such as the lack of awareness and understanding of customers about their rights, as well as a lack of adequate human resources and information technology to meet the requirements of the law.  This study recommends that Islamic banks increase consumer empowerment campaigns and invest in adequate human resources and information technology to increase the effectiveness of the implementation of the Consumer Protection Act.  This is expected to increase customer confidence in the sharia banking industry and support sustainable industry growth.   

Tahlil marriage is a marriage carried out with the aim that a woman who has been divorced three times by her husband can remarry her first husband after marrying and divorcing her second husband. This is a matter of debate in Islamic law, especially from the perspective of the four main schools of thought: Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hambali. This research aims to analyze tahlil marriage law according to the views of the four schools of thought using a normative approach. The research method used is library research by examining classical and contemporary jurisprudence books as well as the opinions of ulama.The results of the research show that the majority of ulama from four schools of thought agree that if a tahlil marriage is carried out with conditions and an initial agreement to divorce after the contract, then the marriage is considered void or haram because it violates the principles of marriage in Islam. However, if the marriage occurs without a prior agreement to divorce, then the law is valid. The conclusion of this research confirms that the deliberate and planned practice of tahlil marriage is contrary to the principle of the validity of marriage in Islam. Therefore, it is important for Muslims to understand marriage laws in accordance with Islamic teachings so as not to be trapped in practices that are not valid according to sharia.

This journal examines the implementation of banking financing products within the framework of Islamic law, focusing on the principles and practices of Islamic banking. The study explores how Islamic banking products align with Shariah principles, emphasizing compliance with prohibitions such as riba (usury), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (gambling). The analysis also references the legal framework governing Islamic banking in Indonesia, particularly Law No. 21 of 2008 on Islamic Banking, and the regulations issued by the Financial Services Authority (OJK). The study evaluates the role of Islamic banks in promoting economic justice, financial inclusivity, and sustainable development. The findings aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of how Islamic finance products contribute to economic growth and the challenges faced by Islamic banking institutions in Indonesia’s financial market.

This study aims to analyze participants’ understanding and compliance with sharia principles in the sharia insurance claim process in Indonesia. Sharia insurance, which is based on the principle of mutual assistance and tabarru’ contract, is expected to provide protection in accordance with Islamic law. However, challenges arise in its operational practices, especially in the claim process. This study uses a qualitative approach by interviewing sharia insurance participants to explore their level of understanding of sharia principles, claim procedures, and challenges faced during the claim process. The results of the study indicate that participants’ understanding of sharia principles is still limited, which has an impact on their lack of clarity in undergoing the claim procedure. Some of the main challenges identified include administrative constraints, long claim processing times, and unclear claim procedures. Lack of understanding of sharia principles also worsens the smoothness of claims. Based on these findings, this study suggests the importance of increasing sharia literacy through training, seminars, and educational materials that are easy for participants to understand. In addition, simplification of claim procedures is needed to increase transparency and ensure that the claim process is in accordance with sharia principles. The implication of this study is the importance of improvements in the education system and operations of sharia insurance to improve participant understanding and compliance, as well as strengthen trust in the sharia insurance industry in Indonesia.

Dumping, characterized by selling goods at below-market prices in export markets, poses significant ethical and economic concerns in global trade. Islamic law (shariah), with its emphasis on justice, equity, and harm reduction, provides a unique lens for analyzing such practices. This review synthesizes insights from scholarly works to explore the compatibility of Islamic legal principles with anti-dumping measures. Key findings include Islamic jurisprudence’s proactive stance against predatory pricing (siyasah al-ighraq) for its potential to harm market stability and marginalize smaller producers. Studies show that Islamic law prioritizes public welfare (maslahah) and promotes ethical market behaviors, offering alternative regulatory perspectives to address trade malpractice. Through case studies like Indonesia’s WTO defense on paper dumping and comparative analyses with Saudi trade laws, this review highlights the robust ethical foundation Islamic law brings to contemporary international trade debates. The synthesis concludes by advocating integrative frameworks to harmonize Islamic ethics with global trade governance.

Indonesia's positive legal system is not in line with Jinayah's thoughts of accountability. Criminal responsibility according to Islamic criminal law is based on the awareness and intention of the perpetrator (mens rea) and proof of unlawful actions (actus reus), which is in line with sharia principles. The aim of this research is to study how the concept of Islamic criminal responsibility can be applied to Indonesian law by considering the principles of justice, humanity and uniformity in accordance with the country's constitution. The research method used is normative, by looking at various laws in Indonesia and reading literature about Islamic criminal law and its implementation in countries with Islamic law. The research results show that, although there are fundamental differences between Islamic law and Indonesian positive law, several elements of the concept of Islamic criminal responsibility can be exploited, especially in cases containing certain crimes such as qisas, diyat, and ta'zir. By considering Pancasila as the philosophical foundation of the state, these elements can be exploited. It is hoped that this implementation will help strengthen the national legal system by providing space for the religious values ​​that live within it

The main goal of this research is to examine how interest in investing in the Sharia market is influenced by Islamic financial knowledge. A thorough grasp of financial concepts that adhere to Islamic law, such as riba, zakat, and the idea of fairness in financial transactions, is necessary for Islamic financial literacy. Islamic financial literacy may have a significant role in investing choices, as shown by the rising knowledge of halal and Sharia-compliant assets. 200 respondents—both current and potential investors in the Sharia capital market—were given questionnaires as part of this study's quantitative methodology. Higher interest in investing in Sharia capital market products like sukuk and Sharia mutual funds is positively correlated with higher levels of Islamic financial literacy, according to the study's findings. These results underline the need of more comprehensive Islamic financial education initiatives to raise public awareness and aid in the growth of Indonesia's Sharia capital market. In order to stimulate investment interest, it is also determined that improvements in Sharia investment products and supporting regulations are essential. Thus, this research comes to the conclusion that promoting a more inclusive Islamic economy and developing the Sharia capital market may both be greatly aided by increasing Islamic financial literacy. This study shows that interest in investing in the Sharia capital market is strongly influenced by Islamic financial knowledge. Sharia-compliant investment products like sukuk (Islamic bonds) and Sharia mutual funds are more likely to be chosen by investors who have a firm grasp of Islamic financial concepts like riba (usury), zakat (almsgiving), and profit-sharing. The research emphasizes the value of thorough financial education initiatives and easily available information in raising public awareness of Islamic finance. It is anticipated that these initiatives would boost more inclusive and sustainable economic development in Indonesia and raise participation in the Sharia capital market.

This study aims to explore how the integration of the Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijma', and Qiyas becomes the main foundation in building a sharia economic framework that is relevant to modern challenges. The Qur'an, as the main source of Islamic law, provides holistic and transformative guidelines, while the Sunnah serves as an explanation and reinforcement of the principles contained in the Qur'an. On the other hand, Ijma' and Qiyas play a crucial role in formulating new laws that are not explicitly mentioned in the sacred texts, thus enabling the application of sharia in the context of contemporary economic problems that continue to develop. This study uses a literature study approach to analyze various theoretical and empirical perspectives related to the application of the four sources of law in sharia economics. The research findings show that the integration of the four sources of Islamic law not only forms a strong normative basis but also provides an understanding in responding to the needs of modern society. In this way, sharia economics can accommodate the principles of justice, poverty, and inclusiveness, which are the essence of building an economic system oriented towards collective welfare. In addition, this study critiques the challenges in implementing sharia principles, especially in the process of interpretation and adaptation to global dynamics. The limitations of conventional methodologies in integrating legal sources often become obstacles in creating solutions that are appropriate to local and global contexts. Therefore, this study suggests the need for a multidisciplinary approach involving collaboration between scholars, economists, and policy makers to ensure that sharia economics can develop consistently and relevantly to the needs of the times. These findings not only enrich academic discourse but also provide practical contributions in efforts to build a more just, sustainable, and Islamic-value-based economic order.  

This research explores the role of digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in transforming Islamic family law practices, with a focus on efficiency, accessibility, and justice. This study aims to analyze how technology supports administrative processes, legal decision-making, and public literacy toward Islamic law. The method used is a multidisciplinary approach that integrates the perspectives of sharia law, technology, and ethics. The results show that digital technology improves efficiency through document digitization, online registration, and virtual hearings, while AI makes a significant contribution through big data analysis to understand family dispute patterns and offer algorithm-based recommendations. However, there are challenges related to algorithm bias, data security, and compliance with sharia values. The study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between scholars, technology experts, and legal practitioners to ensure the adoption of technology that is aligned with maqashid al-shariah, in order to create an adaptive and inclusive Islamic family legal system in the digital era.

Ijtihad Bahtsul Masail Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in the field of economics, which seeks to answer contemporary challenges while remaining rooted in the tradition of Islamic knowledge. NU's approach prioritizes the continuity of the transmission of Islamic knowledge through a legitimate and trusted chain, using classical fiqh books, especially the Shafi'i school of thought. The purpose of this study is to understand the relevance and effectiveness of collective ijtihad carried out by NU in answering modern economic issues such as Islamic banking, investment, e-commerce, and digital payment systems. The method used in this study is a literature study by reviewing literature related to classical fiqh books, journals, and relevant scientific articles. The results of the study show that Bahtsul Masail NU has made a significant contribution to developing Islamic economic law that is relevant to the development of the times. LBM NU not only answers contemporary issues, such as online investment and e-commerce, but also plays a role in forming sharia-based economic policies implemented by the community. However, this study also notes challenges, such as maintaining the consistency of the ijtihad method and answering complex issues without sacrificing the basic principles of sharia.

In the context of Islamic economics, many contemporary issues are not explicitly regulated by Islamic legal sources, thus requiring ijtihad to adapt the law to current circumstances. Ijtihad Tathbiqi is defined as the effort to apply established sharia laws in the specific context of daily life. This research aims to explain the concept of ijtihad tathbiqi, the legal requirements for a mujtahid, the objects of ijtihad tathbiqi, the implementation steps, as well as its potential and contribution to the development of the sharia economy in Indonesia.

The relationship between Islam and democracy has been a complex and often debated topic, particularly in Muslim-majority countries. This research aims to explore the compatibility between Islamic principles and democratic values using Indonesia as a case study. As one of the largest Muslim countries in the world, Indonesia offers a unique context in integrating religious teachings with the modern democratic system. Through qualitative methods that included a Google Form-based survey and a literature review of academic articles and journals, this research found that the majority of respondents (70%) believe that democratic values are in line with Islamic teachings, such as justice, deliberation and equality. However, the research also identified a number of challenges that Indonesia faces in harmonizing the two concepts. The main challenges include differences in the interpretation of Islamic law, difficulties in balancing sharia law with secular law, and the issue of political pluralism. In addition, factors such as intolerance, radicalism and identity politics often become obstacles in creating harmony between religious and democratic values. Despite these obstacles, Indonesia has made significant progress through moderation, strengthening civil society, and successfully managing religious and cultural diversity. Local traditions such as deliberation, gotong royong and pluralism provide a strong foundation for building an inclusive democratic system. This approach is not only relevant for the Indonesian context, but can also serve as a model for other Muslim-majority countries seeking to integrate religion and democracy. This research offers a new contribution to the understanding of the dynamics of the relationship between Islam and democracy, and highlights the importance of civil society strengthening, pluralism education, and the adaptation of religious values in the context of modern democracy. With the results obtained, this research is expected to be a reference for other Muslim countries in creating harmonious and sustainable political governance.

This study focuses on analyzing the impact of Islamic financial literacy on the interest in investing in the Shariamarket. Islamic financial literacy involves a deep understanding of financial principles that comply with Islamic law, including zakat, riba, and the principle of justice in financial transactions. The growing awareness of halal and Sharia-compliant investments suggests that Islamic financial literacy can be a decisive factor in investment decisions. This study uses a quantitative method by distributing questionnaires to 200 respondents, comprising prospective investors and active investors in the Sharia capital market. The results of the study indicate that higher levels of Islamic financial literacy positively correlate with greater interest in investing in Sharia capital market instruments such as sukuk and Sharia mutual funds. These findings highlight the need for more intensive Islamic financial education programs to improve public literacy and support the development of the Sharia capital market in Indonesia. Supporting policies and innovations in Sharia investment products are also identified as crucial factors in encouraging investment interest. Thus, this study concludes that enhancing Islamic financial literacy can play a significant role in advancing the Sharia capital market and supporting a more inclusive Islamic economy. This research demonstrates that Islamic financial literacy significantly influences investment interest in the Sharia capital market. Investors with a solid understanding of Islamic financial principles such as riba (usury), zakat (almsgiving), and profit-sharing are more likely to opt for Sharia-compliant investment products like sukuk (Islamic bonds) and Sharia mutual funds. The study underscores the importance of comprehensive financial education programs and the availability of accessible information to enhance Islamic financial literacy among the public. These efforts are expected to increase participation in the Sharia capital market and support more inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Indonesia.

The purpose of this research is to explore the principles of Islamic economics in adapting to the rapid developments in science, technology, and arts (STEM). Islamic economics focuses on several aspects, including material, spiritual, and moral dimensions. This illustrates that the principles of Islamic economics should be applied to a broader environment, including developments in science, technology, and arts (STEM). Islamic economics is a system that adheres to the principles of Islamic law (Sharia). The concept of Islamic economics includes: Balance, Justice, and Safety, which serve as the foundation for resource management. There are many opportunities within Islamic economics to establish a new financial system, such as reporting and recording based on Sharia and utilizing more optimal technology. The application of this new Sharia financial system plays an important role in strengthening the principles of Islamic economics, including the prohibition of usury (riba), uncertainty (gharar), unjust distribution of wealth, and investments that harm the community. Investment in Islamic economics is a means of placing funds with the aim of generating profit, while adhering to the principles of Islamic economics, making it a permissible activity that avoids elements of usury, gambling (maysir), and uncertainty (gharar). The implementation of these principles of Islamic economics will ultimately benefit the community and prevent any harm. People must pay more attention to the legal foundations set by Sharia, which provides clear guidelines for a prosperous and balanced life, covering both social and economic aspects as well as the environment.

Aceh Province is the only one in Indonesia that is given the authority to implement Islamic law in all aspects of community life. One aspect that is of concern to the Aceh government is the enforcement of Islamic law. Where, if there is a violation of Islamic law, the perpetrator will be subject to sanctions in the form of ta'zir with a punishment of caning in accordance with the level of his/her guilt after receiving a final verdict from the Aceh Sharia Court. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study type of research. In this case, the researcher examines various existing literature related to the implementation of caning punishment, both from books, journals, articles, and even print and electronic media. The results of the literature study show that the implementation of caning punishment in Aceh faces various obstacles in the form of limited budget, human resources, and rejection from many parties who view the implementation of caning punishment as contrary to respect for Human Rights (HAM).

Islamic teachings are a life guide for muslims that originate from various important references. These sources of Islamic teachings are the basis for living a life in accordance with Allah's commands and the guidance of His Messenger. There are four main sources recognized in Islamic teachings, namely the Al-Qur'an, Hadith, Ijma', and Qiyas. The Al-Qur'an is the holy book of Muslims which is believed to be a revelation from Allah SWT which was conveyed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW, while the Hadith is a collection of sayings, actions and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad SAW which serve as a guide in understanding and practicing Islamic teachings. This article aims to examine the role and importance of these four sources in shaping the law, ethics and social life of Muslims. Through qualitative research methods with a descriptive-analytical approach, the research results show that the Al-Qur'an and Hadith are closely related in shaping Muslims' understanding of religion. In addition, this article also examines how ulama use these two sources in establishing Islamic law (shariah) and how these teachings are applied in different socio-cultural contexts. Thus, this research strengthens the importance of understanding in depth the two sources of Islamic teachings in order to apply them in everyday life.
