Examining Ushul Fiqh Principles on the Surrogacy-based In Vitro Fertilization Program

The presence of children within a family is of significant importance. However, not all couples can conceive offspring as desired, due to various factors. Consequently, they seek ways to fulfill their desire of having children. Presently, advancements in medical science and technology, particularly in the field of medicine, have rapidly progressed to provide solutions for couples who are unable to conceive naturally. This is known as in vitro fertilization, commonly referred to as “bayi tabung” or test-tube babies. Islamic scholars unanimously agree that test-tube babies are permissible as long as the processed sperm and egg originate from a legitimate married couple. However, the issue of test-tube babies becomes different when it involves the renting of a woman’s womb according to an agreement. This study aims to examine how the practice of surrogacy is evaluated in usul al-fiqh (the principles of Islamic jurisprudence) and determines the legal status of children born through surrogacy according to usul al-fiqh. Additionally, the study explores the reasons why surrogacy is prohibited according to usul al-fiqh. This research adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing literature review as the methodology. Based on established principles supported by evidence, it can be understood that harm cannot be eliminated by another form of harm that is more detrimental than the initial harm. Surrogacy, in this case, would jeopardize lineage and resemble adultery. If a child is born from a woman who conceives and gives birth herself, then the lineage would follow the birth mother, as stated in the Quran, Surah Al-Mujadilah 58:2.

Formulation of Faḍīlah, Ikhtiyār, and Jawāz Times of Asr Prayer of Fiqh and Science Perspectives

Asr prayer is one of the obligatory prayers performed at specific times among the five daily prayers. However, in the literature of fiqh, there is a division of Salat Asar into faḍīlah (preferred time), ikhtiyār (permissible time), and jawāz (allowable time). This is closely related to the virtue of performing the prayer in its early time, as mentioned in the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, and the discouragement of delaying Asr prayer until its later time. It is essential to establish a precise time, specifying the exact hour and minute for faḍīlah, ikhtiyār, and jawāz in Asr prayer. There are two methods for determining the timing of faḍīlah, ikhtiyār, and jawāz: firstly, through a fiqh approach, which involves observing the phenomena of the Sun’s movement, and secondly, through a scientific approach, using mathematical and astronomical calculations. Both the fiqh and scientific methods are integrated and mutually beneficial in the development of a formulation, providing ease in determining the timing of faḍīlah, ikhtiyār, and jawāz in Salat Asar.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COMPUTER ASSISTED TEST (CAT) SYSTEM IN THE SELECTION OF CANDIDATES FOR CIVIL SERVANTS IN BAUBAU CITY, SOUTHEAST SULAWESI PROVINCE, INDONESIA

Abstract   This study aims to determine and analyze the Computer Assisted Test (CAT) system's effectiveness in selecting civil servants candidates in Baubau City, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, using qualitative descriptive method. The analysis was carried out with the criteria of production, efficiency, satisfaction, adaptation, and development. The result showed that the CAT system's effectiveness in selecting candidates for civil servant position has been quite satisfactory. However, the efficiency criteria still need to be improved. The obstacles are the lack of facilities and infrastructure for the Civil Service and Human Resources Development Agency of Baubau City and unavailability of employees as administrative officers or operators. These can be overcome by borrowing facilities and increasing working hours for existing administrative officers. Therefore, this study suggests the need for coordination regarding the budget for the procurement of infrastructure for the smooth running of activities. This is in the form of desks and computers, as well as additional employees as administrative officers or operators in the implementation of tests.   Keywords: CAT, effectiveness, selection of civil servants candidates     EFEKTIVITAS PENERAPAN SISTEM COMPUTER ASSISTED TEST (CAT) DALAM SELEKSI CALON PEGAWAI NEGERI SIPIL DI KOTA BAUBAU PROVINSI SULAWESI TENGGARA   Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis efektivitas penerapan sistem Computer Assisted Test (CAT) dalam seleksi Calon Pegawai Negeri Sipil di Kota Baubau Provinsi Sulawesi Tenggara.

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi atas apa yang terjadi di Terminal W. A. Gara Kota Palangka Raya, terminal ini terbilang sudah cukup bagus, dengan fasilitas pendukung cukup lengkap, namun keadaan terminal tersebut sepi dari penumpang dan angkutan serta terkesan lengang. Penelitian ini berupaya untuk mengkaji (1) Bagaimana problematika pengelolaan terminal W.A. Gara kota Palangka Raya? (2) Bagaimana solusi terhadap problematika pengelolaan terminal W.A. Gara kota Palangka Raya?. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian lapangan dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif. Adapun subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah tiga orang pengelola terminal dan lima penumpang sebagai informan, sedangkan objeknya yaitu problematika pengelola Terminal W.A Gara. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini adalah observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis melalui tahapan pengumpulan data, reduksi data, penyajian data, dan kesimpulan. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa problematika pengelolaan terminal W. A. Gara yaitu: Masih minimnya pelayanan angkutan lanjutan yang melayani rute terminal menuju kota. Lokasi Terminal yang cukup jauh dari pusat kota. Masih sedikitnya jumlah perusahaan angkutan umum bus yang beroperasi di Provinsi Kal-Teng, hal tersebut dipengaruhi oleh jumlah permintaan angkutan umum yang masih sedikit, serta kawasan sekitar terminal masih dikategorikan sepi dan belum termanfaatkan dengan baik sehingga mengurangi minat masyarakat ke terminal, masih adanya perusahaan bus yang menaik-turunkan penumpang di POnya sendiri. Adapun beberapa solusi atas problematika tersebut, diantaranya melakukan rapat koordinasi antara BPTD Wilayah Kal-Teng dan terminal dengan Dinas Pehubungan mengenai penyediaan fasilitas angkutan lanjutan, melakukan terobosan terkait pemanfaatan terminal, mengumpulkan perwakilan tiap PO untuk diadakan rapat mengenai aturan yang berlaku serta memberikan sanksi kepada PO yang melanggar aturan. ABSTRACT This research is based on what happens at Terminal W. A. Gara in Palangka Raya. This terminal is considered good and completed with adequate supporting facilities. However, it lacks passengers and transportation, and it also seems vacant. Therefore, this study seeks to examine (1) the problems of W. A. Gara Terminal management in Palangka Raya and (2) the solutions to the problem of managing the W. A. terminal in Palangka Raya. This study was field research using qualitative methods. The subjects were three terminal managers and five passengers as informants, and the object was the problems of W. A. Gara Terminal management. Data collection techniques used in this study were observation, interviews, and documentation, which were then analyzed through data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The findings show several problems with the W. A. Gara Terminal management. First, there is still a lack of connecting transportation services that serve the terminal route to the city. Second, the terminal's location is relatively far from the city center. Third, there is a small number of bus-operating companies in Central Kalimantan Province, which is influenced by the lack of demand for public transportation. Next, the area around the terminal is still categorized as vacant, and the terminal has not been appropriately utilized, reducing public interest in using the terminal. Lastly, some bus companies also pick up and drop off the passengers at their bus company (Perusahaan Otobus/PO), and not at the terminal. Several solutions to these problems include conducting a coordination meeting between BPTD Central Kalimantan Region, the terminal, and the Department of Transportation concerning the provision of connecting transportation facilities. Other solutions are making breakthroughs related to terminal utilization, gathering the representatives of each PO to hold a meeting regarding the applicable rules, and imposing sanctions on POs that break the rules
