The Construction of Islamic Law on the Law on Halal Product Assurance from the Maqashid Sharia Perspective (Law No. 33 of 2014 and Law No. 11 of 2020 Article 48)This article describes the construction of Islamic law on the halal product guarantee law that applies in Indonesia. The shifting of operators in halal product guarantees from private institutions to the government has strong legitimacy, which requires business actors to comply. The status of halal certification has increased from voluntary to mandatory in line with the 1945 constitution, and Sharia principles should be achieved. However, the weakness of this law is that there are no strict sanctions for business actors who need to certify their products. This type of research is an explanatory qualitative with a mashed Sharia approach and a review of Islamic law. The research findings show that Sharia obligations that do not contain legal sanctions cause individuals or groups not to comply; this has implications for Muslim consumers being unprotected from the need for halal products because there are still many products that are not halal certified. In conclusion, the construction of Islamic law regarding the guarantee of halal products in Indonesia is still weak but better than before.

Issuance of Family Cards: An Overview of Maslahah Against Legitimacy of Marital Status for Sirri Married CouplesThis study aims to comprehensively describe the issuance of Family Cards in the perspective of maslahah (social benefit) and justice for the legitimacy of marriage for sirri married couples in Bengkulu Province. This research is a qualitative empirical research with a statutory approach, a case and field approach, and a concept approach. This study found that the issuance of Family Cards for marriages of unmarried couples is a form of upholding justice in a social (commutative) framework where everyone has the same rights over marital status. On the other hand, the issuance of a Family Card for unmarried couples can be categorized as maslahah al-khassah (special benefit) which benefits only a few parties, not maslahah al-ammah (general benefit) which applies to the whole community. This study also found that the impact of including the statement "Unregistered Marriage" in the issuance of Family Cards for unregistered married couples can lead to maslahah al-mulghah in the form of legal confusion regarding the legality of one's marriage while at the same time hindering the updating of centralized data which is on the government's agenda.

The Integration of One-Stop Integrated Service Policy in the Religious Judicial System in IndonesiaThis study aims to depict the problems faced in the implementation of a one-stop integrated service policy in the religious judicial system. Data were also obtained through direct interviews from a number of informants, mainly the judges of the provincial and district High Religious Courts (Pengadilan Tinggi Agama) and (Pengadilan Agama). This study finds out that competence of judges in religious courts was minimal, and their selection requirements were laxer, as there were no special criteria for studying Islamic sciences. Consequently, judges preferring decisions on material laws over Islamic precepts. Therefore, judges’ decisions in establishing regulations tend to be fixed on material laws, which is evident in cases such as, divorce lawsuits.

Traditional Islamic Religious Practice Arguments: Criticism of The Concept of Bid'ah of Islam Salafi-WahabiThis paper discusses traditional Islamic criticism of the concept of heresy in Salafi Islam, categorizing every new act in religion as iconoclastic heresy. Based on this concept of heresy, ritual ceremonies and practices of traditional Islamic religious traditions are classified as acts of heresy. Through literature research based on literary document sources using abstractive inductive logic methods and content analysis, this study found that ritual ceremonies and practices of traditional Islamic religious traditions are not acts of heresy because they are based on theorem (al-Quran, hadith and allegiance) it is new. New actions (mutants) are categorized as bid'ah if they conflict with the Quran, hadith, and a tsar. Traditional Islam criticizes the concept of heresy in Salafi-Wahhabi Islam for being ahistorical because several traditions show that the innovation of a friend, tâbi'u tâbi'uttab'în, while this innovation was not ordered and practiced by the Prophet; instead, was carried out by the generation of the Salaf.

Analyzing the Practice of Hibah in Lieu of Inheritance among the Indonesian Muslim CommunityThis study aims to explore the patterns of Hibah practice as a substitute for inheritance in Indonesian society and the reasons they do so. The research locations include Gayo, Aceh, North Sumatra, Jambi, Madiun, Kediri and Surabaya. In this qualitative study, data were collected through interviews. The participants consisted of ulama, academics, and the community who practice Hibah as a substitute for inheritance. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed through content analysis. This study indicates three patterns of Hibah practice as a substitute for inheritance. First, the Hibah is given at the beginning with a portion of 2:1, which is also considered an inheritance when the parent dies. Second, the Hibah is divided equally as well as the surviving parent gets a share. When someone dies, the assets owned by the parents are divided equally. Third, the Hibah is divided unequally, and after the parent dies, the property becomes a portion of the inheritance calculation. This study concludes that the practice of Hibah is becoming more popular among the people in distributing the inheritance, while Islamic inheritance is increasingly insignificant. The position of religious law which is so important in Indonesian Muslim society is critical.

Fatwas of the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) on National Strategic Issues 2006-2018 in the Perspective of Maqashid al-SyariahThis study discusses the Fatwa issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council on National Strategic Issues 2006-2018. The discussion is important because MUI's authority in issuing fatwas is still directly proportional to the diversity of the Muslim community in Indonesia. Knowing the MUI's considerations in issuing a fatwa will certainly influence the appreciation of implementing the fatwa. However, studies on MUI fatwas are still limited to the study of faith and worship, although nationality is also a priority for MUI in giving fatwas. In constructing the results of the study, the authors use the normative law method, so the legal source obtained becomes the secondary data. The results of the study concluded that MUI's consideration in issuing fatwa on National Strategic Issues is hifz al-ummah. Hifz al-ummah is an aspect of al-daruriyah in maqashid al-shariah, namely maintaining the principles of "togetherness" or "national integrity" as a nation, and seeking the benefit of being present in that life.

Unlocking Tolerance in a Diversity through Hadith: : A Lesson-Learned from Manado, a City of a Thousand ChurchesTolerance among religious adherents in Indonesia as a plural state is necessary. Therefore, this current research aims at seeking religious tolerance among people in Manado, classifying and analyzing the implementation of hadith on religious tolerance in the city of a thousand churches. This research is qualitative descriptive research using the social-phenomenon approach. Primary and secondary data were collected through a literature review supported by empirical research. Empirical research data were collected through interviews and observation. Data were analyzed descriptively using an interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which covers data collection, data reduction, data display, data verification, and conclusion. This research shows that hadith related to tolerance in diversity are classified into five categories, i.e., giving and taking gifts or food to and from non-Muslims, trading interaction with non-Muslims, non-Muslim allowance praying at the mosque, respecting non-Muslims' corpses, and eating allowance with non-Muslims containers. Among those five categories, the only third category is not shown explicitly in the daily life of Manado people. It could be caused by the church's numbers quantitatively in Manado being more than the mosque numbers. The hadith implementation for tolerance indicates that the diversity of the Manado people does not always affiliate with the act of intolerance. Moreover, tolerance acts among 'different' people are commonly found in their daily life. It can be easily found during a public religious celebration, e.g., Ramadhan month, Idul Fitri, Christmas day, new year, and other religious ceremonies.

Every child has the right to live and receive equal treatment by their family.
