The concept of naskh and mansukh is one of the most crucial methodological instruments in the discipline of Ushul Fiqh, serving to dissect the dynamics of Islamic law determination (tasyri') diachronically. This article aims to comprehensively analyze how the mechanism of naskh operates within the Al-Qur'an and Hadith and its juridical implications on the process of istinbath (deduction) of Islamic law. The urgency of this study lies in the fact that a flawed understanding of the abrogated verses can lead a mujtahid to establish laws that are juridically expired. Utilizing a qualitative-normative research method with a socio-historical approach, this article explores the classifications of naskh, ranging from the sharp debate over the Sunnah's authority to abrogate the Al-Qur'an to the fundamental differences between naskh, takhshish, and taqyid. The analysis also encompasses a comparative study of the views among the four major schools of thought (Hanafi, Maliki, Syafi'i, and Hanbali) in responding to conflicting evidences. The findings indicate that naskh is not an indication of inconsistency within Divine revelation, but rather a manifestation of the principles of tadarruj (gradualism) and taysir (facilitation) that accommodate the mental readiness of the community and the welfare of human beings. Practical implications of this concept are found in the evolution of laws concerning the direction of the qiblah, the iddah period, and the prohibition of khamr. Through a profound understanding of naskh, Islamic law demonstrates its elasticity in addressing contemporary challenges without losing its divine substance. In the modern era, this principle can be actualized in national legislative drafting through gradual regulatory methods.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Qirâat (variant Qur’anic readings) on the interpretation of legal verses in Adhwâ’ al-Bayân by Muhammad al-Amîn al-Syinqîthi. Employing a qualitative library research approach, this study examines how both mutawâtir and syâdz Qirâat contribute to the process of Islamic legal deduction (istinbâth). The findings reveal that Qirâat function not merely as linguistic variations but also have significant implications for expanding, reinforcing, and providing flexibility in legal meanings across various domains, including worship (ibadah), family law (munâkahât), transactions (mu‘âmalah), and jihad. Al-Syinqîthi integrates linguistic analysis, textual evidence, and the objectives of Islamic law (maqâṣid al-syarî‘ah) in a comprehensive manner, enabling him to accommodate different Qirâat without generating legal contradictions. Mutawâtir Qirâat serve as the primary foundation for legal rulings, while syâdz Qirâat function as complementary and supportive arguments. This study concludes that the diversity of Qirâat constitutes an integral component of Qur’anic exegesis and Islamic jurisprudence, contributing to the development of a flexible, contextual, and relevant Islamic legal framework.

Social loans are an important tool for developing local economies, especially in remote areas such as rural areas. The Indonesian Village City Savings and Loan Cooperative (KSU) is one of the business entities that provides loan capital to its members. The purpose of this study is to determine the mechanism of social loan agreements in the Multipurpose Cooperative (KSU) of the Indonesian Village City and to determine the perspective of Islamic Economic Law on loan agreements in the Multipurpose Cooperative (KSU) of the Indonesian Village City. This research method uses a descriptive research type with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through observation and interviews with the Management and members of the Savings and Loan Cooperative (KSU) of the Indonesian City Village. The results of the study show that first, the loan application procedure involves several steps such as becoming a member, filling out forms, completing documents and the approval stage. The maximum loan provision is 80% of the savings balance with a loan tenor of 12 months and 18 months. The payment system is made in installments through salary deductions and is subject to a 5% interest. For borrowing members who are late, there are no sanctions or fines but there is a time dispensation. Second, the loan application and management mechanism at the Multipurpose Cooperative has met sharia principles through transparent and structured governance, such as deductions from salary installments and a guarantee policy provided in the form of the amount of member savings balances. However, social loans at the Multipurpose Cooperative contain an element of benefit (profit) of 5%, which according to some scholars can be classified as usury because of the addition of value to the principal loan, even though the benefit is returned to members through the Business Result Remainder (SHU).
