The development of waqf assets in the form of adding the function of waqf is a new phenomenon in the problems of Islamic law jurisprudence even in positive law in Indonesia. In national law (positive), Indonesia has regulated this issue with the existence of laws and government regulations regarding waqf both movable and immovable waqf assets, even in its development every property in waqf must have an Deed and / or certificate. Whereas in Islamic jurisprudence, the development of waqf assets in the form of additional functions is one of the problems that can be said to be new, it needs legal conclusions and even has to be seen from various theoretical concepts such as maqashidu sharia. Therefore this research will examine the issue of developing waqf assets based on the Waqf Law and maqashid syari'ah. This research is an empirical legal research using a sociological legal approach, with data collection through documentation and interviews. The results of the research show that the development of waqf assets is permitted according to the law, but with the stipulated conditions, besides that the development of waqf assets is also permissible in Islamic jurisprudence as long as it is solely for reasons in accordance with the concept of maqasidu syari'ah and the point is to seek maslahat.

The practice of polygamy in Indonesia until now has drawn criticism from some feminists who did not agree. But on the one hand, both Islamic law and positive law permit various conditions. In this case, the Religious Court (PA) becomes the last fence which becomes the determining point for a man to be able to polygamy. For this reason, researchers conducted a study of PA decisions on polygamy, namely Jombang PA Decision No. No. 0899 / Pdt.G / 2018 / PA.Jbg . The focus of the problem is (1) the value of gender justice in the decision and (2) reasoning rechtvinding(legal discovery) judge. The method used in this study is a normative-qualitative legal research method with content analysis techniques from Charles Purse. The results showed that the practice of polygamy licensing in the Religious Courts had actually gone through processes that reflected gender justice. This is reflected in the obligation of the Religious Court to summon the longest wife of the applicant for polygamy to be asked for willingness and information. The results of subsequent studies show that PA Jombang judges used hermeneutic techniques in making legal discovery efforts. Because, they not only focus on aspects of legality, but also consider the contextualization.

Penukaran harta wakaf adalah penukaran harta wakaf dari bentuk semula ke bentuk yang lainnya hukum islam pada dasarnya perubahan status wakaf tidak diperbolehkan melakukan penukaran sebagaimana mazhab Maliki dan Syafi’i sangat menekankan pada keabadian harta benda wakaf walaupun sudah rusak atau tidak menghasilkan sesuatu. Pada Pasal 40 Undang-undang Nomor 41 Tahun 2004 tentang Wakaf dijelaskan harta benda wakaf yang sudah diwakafkan dilarang ditukar. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui status hukum penukaran harta wakaf menurut hukum Islam dan Undang-Undang Nomor 41 Tahun 2004 tentang Wakaf dan mengetahui mekanisme penukaran harta wakaf menurut hukum Islam dan Undang-undang Nomor 41 Tahun 2004 tentang Wakaf. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah jenis penelitian hukum normatif (yuridis normatif) dengan mengunakan data primer, data sekunder dan tersier. Hasil penelitian bahwa ada berbeda pendapat ulama dan madzhab tentang penukaran harta wakaf menurut hukum islam ada yang berpendapat melarang ibdal (penukaran) tanah wakaf sekalipun tanah tersebut tidak mendatangkan hasil sama sekali sebagian ulama lainnya memperbolehkan menukar tanah wakaf yang tidak atau kurang bermanfaat dengan tanah lain yang lebih baik namun dengan syarat-syarat tertentu. Dalam perundang-undangan tentang wakaf secara mutlak membolehkan penukaran karena yang menjadi sorotan bukan bentuk akan tetapi yang terpenting dari wakaf adalah fungsi dan tujuannya. Mekanisme penukaran menurut hukum islam harus melalui hakim yang shaleh yang mempunyai ilmu dan amal. Undang-undang nomor 41 Tahun 2004 tentang Wakaf dalam pasal 51 menyebutkan bahwa mekanisme penukaran dilakukan oleh nadzir dengan mengajukan permohonan tukar ganti kepada menteri melalui kantor urusan agama dengan menjelaskan alasan perubahan status dan hasilnya harus dilaporkan oleh nadzir ke kantor pertanahan dana atau lembaga terkait untuk pendaftaran lebih lanjut.The exchange of wakaf property is the exchange of wakaf property from its original form to another form of Islamic law basically the change of waqf status is not allowed to exchange as Maliki and Shafi'i school emphasize on the immortality of waqf property even if it is damaged or does not produce something. In Article 40 of Law Number 41 Year 2004 regarding Waqf, the wakaf property that has been proclaimed is prohibited to be exchanged. The purpose of this research is to know the legal status of the exchange of wakaf property according to Islamic law and Law Number 41 Year 2004 about Wakaf and know the mechanism of exchange of wakaf property according to Islamic law and Law Number 41 Year 2004 about Waqf. The research method used is the type of normative legal research (normative juridical) by using primary data, secondary and tertiary data. The result of the research that there are different opinions of ulama and madhhab about the exchange of wakaf property according to Islamic law there are those who argue forbidding ibdal (exchange) of wakaf land even though the land does not produce the result at all some other scholars allow swap land donation which is not or less useful with other land better but with certain conditions. In the legislation on waqf it is absolutely permissible to exchange because the spotlight is not the form but the most important of the waqf is its function and purpose. The mechanism of exchange according to Islamic law must be through a pious judge who has knowledge and charity. Law No. 41 of 2004 on Waqf in article 51 states that the exchange mechanism is done by nadzir by applying for exchange to the minister through the religious affairs office by explaining the reason for the change of status and the result must be reported by nadzir to the land office of the fund or the relevant institution for registration Furthermore.

Telecommunication service providers are known to provide various benefits for airtime packages. Different packages have been introduced in order to satisfy consumer needs. The nexus between service providers and consumers are guided by terms and conditions. Under Islamic law, any condition stipulated by the parties, which involves riba is rejected ab inito and renders the transaction voidable. Therefore, this article seeks to examine the Airtime Credit Service by service providers such as extra time package known as ‘borrow me credit’ in order to determine whether it is a Shariah-compliant transaction or otherwise. The study adopts doctrinal legal research by using primary and secondary sources of Islamic law such as Qur’an, Sunnah. The study also relies on textbook, journals, and service providers’ websites. The study reveals that the use of the word ‘borrow’ in the package has triggered polemical discourse among the Islamic financial jurists. The study reveals that, although the word ‘borrow’ is used, the intention of service providers is to sell the airtime on credit sale. The article clarifies the juristic discourse of the sale based on Islamic law of contract. It  recommends some clarifications on the form and structure of the sale and concludes that it is allowed for Muslims to buy airtime through the package.

In welcoming 2019 concurrent general elections, the General Election Commission issued PKPU No. 20 of 2018, one of which banned former convicts of corruption from becoming legislative candidates on the grounds that corruption is an extraordinary offense that is commonly practiced by legislators both individually and in congregation. The regulation is stated in Article 4 paragraph (3) PKPU No. 20 of 2018 concerning Nominations for Members of DPR, Provincial DPRD and Regency / City DPRD. However, the regulation was canceled with the issuance of Supreme Court decision No. 46 P / HUM / 2018. Based on this, the limitation of the problem of this research is how to measure the aspects of the legal objectives behind the decision No. 46 P / HUM / 2018 which are more pro-corrupt so that they can understand the judge's decidendi ratio in canceling the prohibition of ex-convicts from becoming legislators. This type of research is normative legal research with a statutory approach and conceptual approach. The theoretical basis in the presentation of research results is the theory of legal goals by Gustav Radbruch namely justice, certainty and usefulness which is compared with Islamic law. The results of this study indicate that the Supreme Court's consideration overturned PKPU No. 20 of 2018 because it is considered contrary to Article 240 of Law No. 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections and Article 12 of Law No. 12 of 2011 concerning Formation of Laws and Regulations. The Supreme Court's considerations in the a quo ruling contain the three legal objectives. However, it is more inclined to legal certainty, so it does not reflect the value of justice that lives in the community. The cause of not achieving the values of justice that live in the community in the a quo decision is because the basis for testing the regulation is Law No. 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections does not prohibit such matters, even though the nomination rules on the executive body namely the President and Vice President require that they do not have a bad track record. Likewise when viewed from Islamic law which requires legislative candidates called ahlul ahli wal aqdi must have a fair way which means having integrity and a good image in the society.

Comparable Model

Increasingly, Islamic law has become the subject of comparative legal study. Further, in the applied sense, comparative legal studies’ greatest value lies in understanding our own legal systems, as well as benefiting from other legal systems by importing what we lack from them. Unlike secular legal systems, Islamic law, being religious in nature and having eschatological connotations, requires reworking the comparative legal method to take account of that. When it comes to religious laws, hermeneutics play a key role, as a religious legal system will only be receptive to foreign norms if such norms earn their place internally, following hermeneutic justification. Cultural and religious pride, as well as intellectual impartiality, decrees that a legal solution should not be preferable just because it comes from the First World. This paper will therefore formulate a methodology for comparative legal studies where religious law is one of the comparative models and there are potential suggestions of legal transplant.

Abstract: In Malaysia, the appointment of members to the Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) of the Central  Bank  of Malaysia (CBM) is prescribed by the Central Bank of Malaysia Act 2009 (Act 701). The Act stipulates the provisions pertaining to the eligible persons to be appointed to the SAC, procedures, terms and conditions of appointment and also remuneration and allowances for the members of the SAC. In this regard, the question arises whether the prescribed provisions are sufficient to regulate the appointment of members to the SAC and free from any shortcomings. Hence, this study sought to analyse the existing legislations governing the appointment of members to the SAC and to analyse the legal issues arising from the existing legislations. By using legal research methodology, this article analysed the entire provisions dealing with the appointment matter. Based on the data collected from statutes passed by the Parliament of and Malaysia published materials, the analytical method was used by scrutinizing the related provisions of the law pertaining to the appointment of members to the SAC. This study found that, several loopholes  exist  in  the  statutory requirement of the existing law which needs to be addressed by the respective authoritative body in order to avoid any legal conflict in the future. Hence this study is significant in order to strengthen the existing legislation governing the SAC especially related the appointment process.   Keywords: Shariah advisory council, Shariah advisor, Islamic finance, Islamic law, Central Bank of Malaysia Act 2009.   Abstrak: Di Malaysia, pelantikan anggota Majlis Penasihat Shariah (MPS) Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) ditetapkan oleh Akta Bank Negara Malaysia 2009 (Akta 701). Akta menetapkan peruntukan-peruntukan berkaitan orang yang layak untuk dilantik menganggotai MPS, prosedur, terma dan syarat-syarat perlantikan dan juga saraan dan elaun anggota-anggota MPS. Dalam hal ini, persoalan timbul sama ada peruntukan yang ditetapkan memadai untuk mengawal selia pelantikan anggota MPS dan bebas daripada sebarang kekurangan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis undang-undang sedia ada yang mentadbir pelantikan anggota MPS dan untuk menganalisis isu-isu undang-undang yang timbul daripada undang-undang sedia ada. Dengan menggunakan metodologi penyelidikan undang-undang, artikel ini menganalisis keseluruhan peruntukan yang berkaitan urusan pelantikan anggota MPS. Berdasarkan data yang telah kumpul daripada statut-statut yang diluluskan oleh Parlimen Malaysia, kaedah analisis telah digunakan dengan meneliti peruntukan-peruntukan undang-undang yang berkaitan pelantikan anggota MPS. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa, beberapa kelemahan wujud dalam kehendak statut dalam undang-undang sedia ada yang perlu diberi perhatian oleh pihak berkuasa yang berkaitan dalam usaha mengelak daripada berlaku sebarang konflik undang-undang pada masa hadapan. Oleh itu, kajian ini adalah sangat penting untuk mengukuhkan undang- undang sedia ada yang mengawal selia MPS terutamanya berkaitan proses pelantikan.   Kata kunci: Majlis Penasihat Shariah, Penasihat Shariah, Kewangan Islam, Undang-undang Islam, Akta Bank Negara Malaysia 2009.

The Way

This study discusses the way in determining ‘illat through the munasabah method proposed by Imam al-Ghazali in the perspective of Islamic law. The study focuses on two main problems: the identification of ‘illat through munasabah and the legal formulation to utilize hikmat to obtain ‘illat according to al-Ghazali. This normative legal research used a legal history approach as an analytical tool to examine the Islamic scholars’ thoughts on concepts, theories and ways of doing istinbath. The study concluded that according to al-Ghazali there are three kinds of munasabah in determining ‘illat, consisting of munasib mu’atstsir, munasab mula’im, and munasib gharib. In munasib mu’atstsir, there is no issue found in seeking ‘illat because the ‘illat is understood directly from the nash or ijma’. Therefore, munasabah is no longer needed in the determining ‘illat. Here, the munasabah method focuses on munasib mula’im and munasib gharib in identifying ‘illat. Munasib mula’im seeks for the genus ‘illat, an ‘illat drawn from every event that has been predetermined by the nash, by examining the same hikmah in each of the events. Such hikmah is then used as the genus ‘illat which will later be applied as qiyas for other events that have been legally stipulated by the nash. On the other hand, munasib gharib seeks for the species ‘illat, an ‘illat obtained from an event that has been predetermined by the nash, with no comparison found in other events. ‘Illat determined from munasib gharib is also hikmah, having no concrete nature. In the perspective of legal history, this method of seeking ‘illat is inseparable from kalam and philosophy as was the development of the Islamic sciences at the time. As such, this had also affected al-Ghazali’s mastery in Islamic law as well as in other Islamic disciplines.
