This chapter focuses on the fears and accusations about the English law's recognition of shariʻa. In his February 2008 remarks, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams explored ways in which the legal system might “recognise shariʻa.” Despite the storm of media criticism, he was joined later that year by Britain's highest justice, Lord Phillips, in saying that English law should recognize certain elements of shariʻa. It is in the domain of family law where suggestions that private Islamic bodies might take on a function of the civil courts raise the greatest degree of legal and social concern. Although some Islamic scholars have urged Parliament to create formal linkages between law courts and Islamic shariʻa councils, these councils carry out no actions that have the force of state law. For the moment, then, the main possibility for legal “recognition” of Islamic law in England would be if civil courts were to act on some elements of an Islamic divorce proceeding.

Abstract This work analyzes one of the hottest and most tricky issues of the Muslim Family Law, i.e., whether in cases of divorce (ṭalāq), three repudiations spoken in one session equal one or three repudiations. There had been no disagreement regarding this issue among the four Sunni Schools of Jurisprudence until the end of the 7th century Hijrah when Ibn Taimiyah and Ibn al-Qayim challenged the position of the ğamhūr (majority of Islamic scholars). Before them only the Shīʿa and the Ẓāhirites had treated three pronouncements in one session as one. The ğamhūr has given very strong arguments in support of their point of view, whereas Ibn Taimiyah and Ibn al-Qayim have advanced very weak arguments in support of their view. The Shīʿa Imāmiyah School of Thought holds two opinions. According to one view, three ṭalāqs in one session amount to one, while the second point of view holds that three repudiations in one session do not amount to any ṭalāq.

Abstract This article focuses on adjudication of Muslim family law in countries that range from the Middle East and North Africa to South-East Asia. It begins by shortly summarizing the development of shari‘a in pre-modern times, up until the 19th century. We discuss the basic features of marriage among classical jurists and argue that the close connection known today between the family and Islamic law can be traced to the emergence of modern nation states and centralizing state structures. We then provide a description of important personal status reforms during the 20th and 21st centuries and consider the growing body of scholarship that engages with adjudication of Muslim family law in action and in context. Finally, we consider the contribution that the articles contained in the special double issue make to the field of research, including the questions of gender and judicial authority, religion-based judicial activism, and the courts’ involvement in larger socio-political processes.

AbstractThe implementation of shari'ah (Islamic law) in the province of Aceh in Indonesia was the consequence of a national policy of legal pluralism, effected in 2001 when the national government decided to give a special status and wide autonomy to this region. However, certain problems have arisen. One of these is whether the Islamic courts of justice have been conferred competence to deal with Islamic criminal law and if so, which judicial institution should deal with the matter. Another is the meaning and scope of mu'amalat law (the law dealing with human relationships). It also appears that the central government has permitted shari'ah to be implemented for political reasons.

Abstract:Inheritance law according to Islamic law is one part of family law (al-Ahwalus Syahsiyah). This science is very important to learn so that in the implementation of the division of inheritance there is no mistake and can be carried out as fairly as possible, because by studying the Islamic inheritance law for Muslims, will be able to fulfill the rights relating to inheritance after being abandoned by Muwarris (heir) and submitted to the heirs who have the right to receive it. Thus, one can avoid sin, namely not eating the property of people who are not their rights, because there is no fulfillment of Islamic law regarding inheritance. The inheritance legal system according to the Civil Code does not distinguish between sons and daughters, between husbands and wives, they have the right to inheritance, and the sons share sons and daughters, the part of a wife or husband is the same as the child. When linked to the hereditary system, the Civil Code adheres to a bilateral descent system, where each person connects himself to the descendants of his father and mother, meaning that heirs are entitled to inherit from the father if the father dies and has the right to inherit from the mother if the mother dies.Keywords: Inheritance System, Islamic Law, Indonesian Legislatio Abstrak:Hukum Kewarisan menurut hukum Islam merupakan salah satu bagian dari hukum keluarga (al-Ahwalus Syahsiyah). Ilmu ini sangat penting dipelajari agar dalam pelaksanaan pembagian harta waris tidak terjadi kesalahan dan dapat dilaksanakan dengan seadil-adilnya, sebab dengan mempelajari hukum kewarisan Islam bagi umat Islam, akan dapat menunaikan hak-hak yang berkenaan dengan harta waris setelah ditinggalkan oleh muwarris (pewaris) dan disampaikan kepada ahli waris yang berhak untuk menerimanya. Dengan demikian, seseorang dapat terhindar dari dosa yakni tidak memakan harta orang yang bukan haknya, karena tidak ditunaikannya hukum Islam mengenai kewarisan. Sistem hukum kewarisan menurut KUHPerdata tidak membedakan antara anak laki-laki dan anak perempuan, antara suami dan isteri, mereka berhak terhadap harta warisan, dan bagian anak laki-laki sama dengan bagian anak perempuan, bagian seorang isteri atau suami sama dengan bagian anak. Apabila dihubungkan dengan sistem keturunan, maka KUHPerdata menganut sistem keturunan bilateral, dimana setiap orang itu menghubungkan dirinya dengan keturunan ayah maupun ibunya, artinya ahli waris berhak mewaris dari ayah jika ayah meninggal dan berhak mewaris dari ibu jika ibu meninggal.Kata Kunci: Sistem Waris, Hukum Islam, Perundang-undangan Indonesia

System of Professional Companies is considered one of the modern matters of concern to a large category of professionals, and due to the absence of a previous scientific study, and owing to the significance of the subject, this study aimed to demonstrate the penalty for violating the system of professional companies in legal system of Saudi Arabia (Comparative Study), between the law in the legal system of Saudi Arabia and Islamic jurisprudence The researcher followed the descriptive comparative approach, with a focus on the penalty for violating the provisions of the system of professional companies, as it is in fact in the system approved by the Saudi government and comparing it with Islamic jurisprudence to demonstrate its compatibility with Islamic law (Islamic Sharia). The study concluded that in defining the penalty we find that it includes, in the system of professional companies, for a worldly penalty, in contrast to Islamic jurisprudence, which has arranged for a worldly penalty and a hereafter penalty, and that the system of professional companies, in imposing a financial fine on the violator, is consistent with the doctrine of the majority of jurists. The study recommended severe proposals including: The legislator shall stipulate the penalty for not obtaining coverage insurance and the legislator must take care of the community’s conditions and what is appropriate for its interests.

Islamic law guarantees the protection of married women’s right to maintenance upon their husbands. The significant role of maintenance in the continuity of the marriage union in Islamic law cannot be overemphasised. The Malaysian statutory law in this context is indeed a model. The Constitution’s mandatory prescription for the application of Islamic family law on Muslims is an awesome feature. The Islamic Family Law Act is a replica of the classical texts for easy application. This paper presents the legal framework on maintenance law in Muslim marriages and the legal implication of its violation. Emphasis is laid on the classical texts of Shari’ah from the Qur’an, Sunnah and juristic opinions. Statutory and judicial authorities from the Malaysian legal system are referred to, where applicable. It is observed that the preponderant view among the four Sunni Schools is that of the majority, and interestingly, is the applicable ruling in the Malaysian family law. ABSTRAKUndang-undang Islam menjamin perlindungan kepada hak wanita-wanita yang telah berkahwin terhadap nafkah oleh suami-suami mereka. Kepentingan peranan nafkah di dalam kesinambungan sesuatu ikatan perkahwinan di bawah undang-undang Islam tidak boleh terlalu ditekankan. Di dalam konteks ini, statut perundangan di Malaysia boleh dijadikan model. Penetapan mandatori Perlembagaan berkenaan dengan pemakaian undang-undang keluarga Islam kepada orang-orang Islam adalah merupakan satu ciri yang sangat menarik. Akta Undang-Undang Keluarga Islam merupakan satu replika bagi teksteks klasik untuk pemakaian yang lebih mudah. Kertas kerja ini membentangkan rangka perundangan bagi undang-undang nafkah di dalam sesuatu perkahwinan orang Islam dan akibat perundangan jika ianya tidak dipatuhi. Penekanan diberikan kepada teks-teks klasik Shari’ah berdasarkan al-Quran, Sunnah dah pendapatpendapat juristik. Rujukan dibuat kepada statut dan penghakiman daripada sistem perundangan Malaysia. Adalah diamati bahawa pendapat yang lebih berpengaruh daripada keempat-empat Mazhab ialah pendapat majoriti, dan menariknya, merupakan peraturan yang terpakai di dalam undang-undang keluarga di Malaysia.

Delegation of divorce and its revocation is an important issue in the discipline of Muslim family law, which especially highlighted by Muslim scholars in Pakistan after the legislation of Muslim Family Law Ordinance 1961 in this regard. Actually, the legality of the issue in the classical Muslim jurisprudence is not questionable due to its institution by the legal texts of the Holy Quran and Sunnah. But the Muslim scholars distinguish between pre- and post-contract delegation of right of divorce to the wife. As for as concerned the Pakistani Muslim family Law ordinance 1961, which legalized that right to divorce may be delegated to wife at all. We have tried to study in this article the real status of the issue in the light of Quran and Sunnah and opinions of the early Muslim Jurists in this regard. This study is based on the comparison between the practically applied law in Pakistan and legitimate position of the said case in Islamic Law.
