Criminal Sanctions for Perpetrators of Defamation: An Islamic Criminal Law Perspective

This study explores criminal sanctions for defamation offenders from the Islamic criminal law perspective, focusing on applying maqÄá¹£id al-sharī‘ah as a normative foundation. The objective is to compare the restorative justice-oriented approach of Islamic criminal law with Indonesia's positive law, particularly the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE), which regulates defamation in the digital era. Using a normative juridical method, the research analyzes primary and secondary legal sources to extract relevant principles. The findings reveal that Islamic criminal law employs ta'zir sanctions, which are flexible and oriented toward restoring social harmony, contrasting with the retributive approach of Indonesia's positive law that often leads to legal uncertainty and risks to freedom of expression. Moreover, Islamic criminal law offers mediation and reconciliation-based solutions to mitigate the social impact of defamation. This study suggests integrating the principles of maqÄá¹£id al-sharī‘ah into Indonesia's positive legal framework to create more just and balanced regulations. These findings are relevant for policymakers in addressing legal challenges in the digital era and encourage the development of more inclusive approaches to defamation cases

Penegakan Judi Online Dalam Perspektif Hukum Pidana dan Fiqih Jinayah: Studi Kasus di Polres Parepare

This study discusses law enforcement against online gambling practices within the jurisdiction of the Parepare Police Resort, viewed from the perspectives of positive criminal law and Islamic criminal law (fiqh jinayah). The increasing spread of online gambling has caused social unrest and created challenges for law enforcement in combating and prosecuting such activities. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the police in enforcing the law, the obstacles they encounter in the legal process, and the extent to which these efforts align with the principles of law. A qualitative method was used, with data collected through interviews, documentation, and direct observation. The findings show that law enforcement still faces several challenges, including limited digital facilities, lack of inter-agency cooperation, and low public legal awareness. In addition, the complexity of online gambling networks, which often involve cross-regional and international connections, further complicates police efforts. In fiqh jinayah, online gambling is classified as a jarimah ta’zir, where the punishment is determined by the authorities (ulil amri) to protect public interest and maintain social order. Therefore, synergy between positive legal approaches and Islamic legal principles is essential for effectively addressing online gambling, ensuring justice, and creating a strong deterrent effect for offenders while safeguarding society as a whole.

Penelitia ini bertujua untuk menganalisis efektivitas polisi dalam menegakkan hukum, hambatan yang mereka hadapi dalam proses hukum, dan sejauh mana upaya tersebut sesuai denga prinsip-prinsip hukum. Metode penelitian yang digunakan Adalah kualitatif, dengan data yang dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, dokumentasi, dan observasi langsung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penegakan hukum masih menghadapi berbagai tantangan, termasuk keterbatasan fasilitas digital, kurangnya kerja sama antarisntansi, dan rendahnya kesadaran hukum masyarakat. Selain itu, kompleksitas jaringan judi online yang sering melibatkan koneksi lintas daerah maupun internasional semakin memperumit upaya kepolisian. Dalam fiqih jinayah, judi online digolongkan sebagai jarima ta’zir, di mana bentuk hukuman ditentukan oleh pihak berwenang (ulil amri) untuk melindungi kepentingan umum dan menjaga ketertiban sosial. Oleh karena itu, sinergi antara pendekatan hukum positif dan prinsip hukum Islam sangat penting untuk secara efektif menegakkan keadilan, dan menciptakan efek jera yang kuat baik bagi pelaku, sekaligus melindungi masyarakat secara keseluruhan

The Meanig of ‘Halal’ from the Perspective of Business Actors in the Post-BPJPH Era: A Qualitative Phenomenological Analysis

This research is a qualitative phenomenological analysis of the meaning of 'halal' from the perspective of business actors in Indonesia following the enactment of Law Number 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Assurance (UU JPH). This research focuses on the lived experiences and meaning-making of business actors after the certification authority shifted from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) to the Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH). Using a methodology focused on in-depth understanding, this report identifies a paradigm shift from a voluntary community initiative to a mandatory state mandate, and examines how the meaning of 'halal' has shifted from a mere religious obligation to a strategic economic asset. Key findings indicate a dissonance between the narrative of bureaucratic convenience used by the government and the practical realities on the ground, particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This analysis concludes that while the new policy aims to protect consumers and increase global competitiveness, there is a risk of losing certification's legitimacy if fundamental issues related to the integrity of the process, particularly in self-declaration schemes, are not comprehensively addressed. This research provides strategic recommendations for regulators and stakeholders to bridge these organizations and build a sustainable and trusted halal ecosystem

Childfree Phenomenon in Family Behavior: a Study of Maslahah Mursalah in Contemporary Social Context

The term childfree refers to individuals who deliberately choose not to have children—a decision that has sparked critical discourse in both social and religious contexts. This study explores the underlying motivations behind the childfree decision, examines family behavior patterns among Indonesian childfree couples, and analyzes this phenomenon through the lens of maslahah al-mursalah in Islamic legal theory. Employing a qualitative method with a normative-empirical approach, this research is based on field interviews with five members of the Indonesian Childfree Community. Findings indicate that the decision is driven primarily by personal autonomy, health considerations, and economic concerns. Notably, childfree couples exhibit distinct patterns in household role distribution, conflict management, and future planning in the absence of children. From the perspective of maslahah al-mursalah, the childfree lifestyle raises complex tensions between individual choice and the foundational aims (maqÄá¹£id al-sharī‘ah) of marriage and procreation in Islam. The study contributes to the emerging discourse on how Islamic legal reasoning can engage with evolving social behaviors in contemporary Muslim societies

Pappasêng is one of the oral literature of the Bugis tribe in the form of traditional expressions or admonitions that are often conveyed by parents (to riyolo) to the next generation (to ri munri). The advice contains advice to be used as a guideline in living life. Pappasêng is still firmly held by the Bugis people, especially the people in Cina District, Bone Regency. They state that the values in Pappasêng remain relevant to today's life. The purpose of this research is to describe the value of Islamic character in Pappasêng who lives in the Cina sub-district community. This research is a qualitative descriptive research with a naturalistic approach. The data in the study are Pappasêng's expressions from the sources and the documentation studies that support the research. The results of this study show that Pappasêng's expression is in line with Islamic teachings. The expression Pappasêng contains several Islamic character values, namely monotheism, honesty, hard work, firm stance (istiqamah), good prejudice (husnuzan), compassion, and cleverness. These values should be instilled in the next generation by maintaining Pappasêng and continuing to pass it on, including in elementary school learning. This can be done by making pappasêng as a learning material for local languages, inserting pappasêng when giving advice or stories to students, and using pappasêng in explaining other learning materials

Atsaru Kharithah Dzihniyah fi Ta'alum al Af'al (Dirasah Tajribiyah fi Madrasah al Khairiyah al Tsanawiyah al Islamiyah al Ahliyah Jakarta al Janubiyyah

This research aims to determine the effect of using mind mapping on fi'il learning at MA Al-Khairiyah. It employs a quantitative approach with an experimental method using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consists of 30 tenth-grade students from MA Al-Khairiyah. This design does not require a control and experimental class; instead, it involves a single class that undergoes a pretest, treatment, and posttest. Before the treatment, students were given 10 questions as a pretest. In the next session, learning was conducted using mind mapping, after which students' comprehension was assessed through a posttest. The posttest results were then compared to the pretest results to determine whether there was an improvement or decline. The data collection techniques used in this research include observation, interviews, and tests. The findings prove that fi'il learning using mind mapping has a significant effect, as evident in the improvement of students' learning outcomes. This is supported by the pretest score of 46.6 and the posttest score of 83.3. Furthermore, the t-test results show that the calculated t value (10.58) is greater than the critical t value (1.699), indicating that H₀ is rejected and Hₐ is accepted. Therefore, that mind mapping has a positive impact on fi'il learnin

Regulations and Implementation of the Green Economy in the Development of Green SMEs in North Sumatra Province

This research analyzes the regulation and implementation of a green economy in the MSME sector in North Sumatra Province in the context of the transition to green MSMEs and efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study uses a combination of normative and empirical approaches with data collected through interviews, questionnaires, and literature studies. The findings indicate that North Sumatra Province has not specifically adopted and implemented a green economy for the MSME sector. In the North Sumatra Provincial RPJPD 2025-2045, the implementation of a green economy is still limited to Green Industry. The absence of regulations, the lack of updates on the Regional Action Plan for TPB/SDGs, and the fragmented coordination among key stakeholders, who still do not have a structured collaboration framework, pose the main obstacles. SMEs in North Sumatra Province face various challenges in implementing a green economy, including high investment costs, limited access to resources, the absence of regulations and standards, and a lack of consumer awareness about eco-friendly products. This research recommends that the North Sumatra Provincial Government prioritize the integration of the SDGs into regional development policies, establish regulations that govern coordination among stakeholders, and enhance government and stakeholder support for the green transformation of SMEs through improved access to resources, training, and policy support
