Qur’anic Ethics Of Zakat In The Digital Age: A Hermeneutic Reconstruction Of Lazismu’s Philanthropic Model For Global Shared Prosperity

Ahmad Luthfi Hidayat — 2026-04-24

This article examines the hermeneutic reconstruction of Qur’anic zakat ethics to reinforce LAZISMU’s philanthropic model amid digital transformation and aspirations for global shared prosperity. It arises from tensions between rapidly expanding technological infrastructures and the need for spiritually grounded zakat governance that safeguards amanah, justice, and human dignity. Although LAZISMU has pioneered digital innovations in fundraising, distribution, and accountability, these practices have not been systematically analyzed through an integrative Qur’anic framework connecting technological acceleration with the ethical principles of tathir, tanmiyah, and rahmah. Using a qualitative hermeneutic approach, the study interprets key Qur’anic verses on zakat and philanthropy, including QS At-Taubah 9:60, Al-Baqarah 2:177, and Al-Hadid 57:25, and juxtaposes them with empirical observations of LAZISMU’s programs, institutional documents, and digital platforms. The findings demonstrate that transformation of the zakat ecosystem becomes most effective when technology is conceptualized not merely as an instrument of efficiency, but as a medium for enacting Qur’anic moral agency, strengthening distributive justice, and cultivating translocal solidarity. The study concludes that a Qur’an-centered digital philanthropy paradigm provides a novel pathway for LAZISMU to develop a humane, connected, and accountable zakat institution oriented toward the future of prosperity.

Legal Pluralism and Restorative Justice in Dispute Resolution under Indonesian Positive Law and Islamic Law

Musfa Hengki — 2026-04-25

Conflicts and disputes are inherent to the dynamics of Indonesia's pluralistic society. This paper aims to analyze the patterns and mechanisms of dispute resolution prevalent in Indonesian communities and identify their inherent characteristics. Employing a descriptive-analytical literature review method, it examines diverse legal, cultural, and sociological sources. Findings reveal that dispute resolution in Indonesia extends beyond formal litigation in courts, predominantly relying on non-litigious mechanisms rooted in local values. Key characteristics include a collective-communal approach, prioritization of reconciliation and relationship restoration (restorative justice) over punishment, and elastic, context-specific adaptability to local social structures. Principles such as musyawarah mufakat (deliberative consensus), gotong royong (mutual cooperation), and harmony drive these processes, manifested in customary systems, village mediation, and family negotiations. The study concludes that the effectiveness and sustainability of Indonesian dispute resolution hinge on integrating holistic local wisdom with formal national legal frameworks. A deep understanding of these characteristics is crucial for developing a responsive and accommodating judicial system in pluralistic Indonesia.

Plural Legal Order in State–Nagari Disputes

Deri Rizal — 2026-04-25

Nagari as a customary legal community in Minangkabau, plays an important role in dispute resolution through deliberation, consensus, and communal values. At the same time, the state provides a formal legal system based on regulations and judicial procedures. The interaction between these two frameworks often creates tensions due to differing approaches and the limitations of state law in accommodating local values. This article analyzes the negotiation between the state and Nagari in dispute resolution and examines the integration of local wisdom with state law. The study uses a qualitative field research approach in Nagari Pasia Laweh, West Sumatra, which is known as a Constitutional Nagari. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings show that state–Nagari negotiation takes place through mediation forums, deliberation, and the formulation of nagari regulations. Local wisdom serves as the basis for reconciliation, while the state ensures legal certainty. This pattern of integration reduces normative conflict between customary law and state law while strengthening public trust in both customary institutions and formal legal institutions. The study highlights the importance of recognizing Nagari as a state partner in dispute resolution based on restorative justice and legal pluralism.

The Notion of Legal Subject in Islamic Jurisprudence and Modern Positive Law

Zulkifli Zulkifli — 2026-04-26

In Indonesia's legal system, every individual is recognized as a legal subject accountable under the law. Islamic law designates humans as maḥkūm ‘alayh or mukallaf, while the concept has evolved to encompass legal entities such as corporations. This study examines the similarities and differences in the notion of legal subjects between Islamic law and positive law in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative library research approach, primary data were drawn from authoritative written sources on the topic. Data analysis involved qualitative techniques, including coding, reduction, and conclusion drawing. The development of legal entities in Indonesia parallels the enactment of Islamic-related legislation, such as laws on waqf, zakat management, Religious Courts, Islamic Law Compilation, and Sharia Economic Law Compilation (KHES). Findings reveal that Islamic law constitutes divine commands (taklīf, takhyīr, wad‘ī) regarding mukallaf actions—viewed by Usūliyyūn as God's legislative acts and by Fuqahā’ as their effects. In contrast, positive law comprises commands and evaluations of actions, establishing relations between individuals and their deeds.

Qiwamah Challenges in Fatherless Muslim Households

Nur Sakinah — 2026-04-26

The phenomenon of fatherlessness in modern Muslim families, particularly among commuter fathers in Desa Kesuma, Pelalawan Regency, Indonesia, warrants scrutiny under Islamic family law. Fathers employed as palm oil plantation drivers reside far from home, curtailing daily interactions and paternal roles. This study analyzes the factors prompting such decisions, their effects on family dynamics, and fiqh al-munakahat implications. Adopting a qualitative field research design, primary data were derived from semi-structured interviews and observations with 15 commuter fathers, 15 mothers, and 15 children. Secondary data included inputs from parents-in-law and the village head. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman's framework: reduction, display, and verification via source triangulation. Key findings identify internal drivers (limited education and skills) and external ones (economic pressures and lucrative opportunities). Positively, commuter work fulfills nafaqah obligations; negatively, it weakens tarbiyah, emotional bonds, and child education. From a Sharia viewpoint, this constitutes a valid hajjah (necessity), permissible if non-material rights such as moral upbringing and supervision are secured through familial consensus and qiwamah principles. This research advances discourse on reconciling economic hajjah with Islamic family responsibilities in agrarian communities.

Religious Justice's Role: Contemporary Issues and Legal Evolution

Rahmi Febriyanti Salma — 2026-04-29

Abstract: This article discusses the existence and development of Religious Courts in Indonesia which play an important role in handling Islamic law issues, such as marriage, inheritance, and other civil cases. From the time of the Islamic kingdom to the modern era, the Religious Court has had a strategic position in the life of the Muslim community. However, in its journey, this institution faced various challenges, both during the colonial period and after Indonesia's independence, especially related to authority and adjustments to the national legal system. This research aims to examine the role, challenges, and development of Religious Courts within the framework of Indonesia's national legal system. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative approach through various trusted sources, namely books, scientific journal articles, legal documents, and relevant previous research. The results of the study show that although the Religious Courts have made significant progress, the issue of legal integration and modernization demands still needs serious attention. Religious justice remains an important pillar in realizing justice for the Muslim community, but it requires stronger synergy with the national legal system and policies that are responsive to the challenges of the times.

Abstrak: Artikel ini membahas keberadaan dan perkembangan Peradilan Agama di Indonesia yang berperan penting dalam menangani persoalan hukum Islam, seperti perkawinan, warisan, dan perkara perdata lainnya. Sejak masa kerajaan Islam hingga era modern, Peradilan Agama memiliki posisi strategis dalam kehidupan masyarakat Muslim. Namun, dalam perjalanannya, lembaga ini menghadapi berbagai tantangan, baik pada masa penjajahan maupun setelah Indonesia merdeka, terutama terkait kewenangan dan penyesuaian dengan sistem hukum nasional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji peran, tantangan, dan perkembangan Peradilan Agama dalam kerangka sistem hukum nasional Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi kepustakaan dengan pendekatan kualitatif melalui berbagai sumber tepercaya, yaitu buku, artikel jurnal ilmiah, dokumen perundang-undangan, serta penelitian terdahulu yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun Peradilan Agama telah mengalami kemajuan yang signifikan, persoalan integrasi hukum dan tuntutan modernisasi masih perlu mendapat perhatian serius. Peradilan Agama tetap menjadi pilar penting dalam mewujudkan keadilan bagi masyarakat Muslim, namun memerlukan sinergi yang lebih kuat dengan sistem hukum nasional serta kebijakan yang responsif terhadap tantangan zaman.

Marriage Legality in Extramarital Pregnancy

Muhammad Ar Rafi Yahya — 2026-04-29

Marriage involving a woman who is pregnant as a result of extramarital sex remains a contested issue in Islamic legal thought and carries important legal and social consequences. This study examines the views of the four Sunni schools of law on the validity of such marriage, analyzes the Indonesian Compilation of Islamic Law, and explores the implications of these legal positions. Using normative legal research and library-based analysis, the study draws on classical fiqh literature, statutory regulations, and contemporary scholarship. The findings show substantial differences among the four schools: some allow the marriage contract without restriction, while others prohibit it until childbirth or require additional conditions. In contrast, the Indonesian Compilation of Islamic Law adopts a pragmatic position by permitting the marriage of a pregnant woman outside wedlock to ensure legal certainty, protect the child’s status, and preserve the woman’s dignity. From the perspective of Islamic legal objectives, the issue is closely related to the protection of lineage and has legal, social, and psychological implications for the mother, child, and family.
