The growing numbers of Muslims in the West have ignited a debate about the compatibility of Sharī‘a with state law. The present article explores the issue from a historical perspective by providing a brief survey of Islamic legal history. It specifically focuses on the interaction of Sharī‘a with the English legal system in colonial India. The main argument of the article is that during its long history, Sharī‘a co-existed with the ruler’s law (siyāsa) and customary law (‘urf). It was formally incorporated into the structure of the state with the active participation of Muslim legal commentators, judges, lawyers, politicians, and the ‘ulamā’ in colonial India. The incorporation of Sharī‘a into the state law was facilitated through the transplantation of legislative and hierarchical judicial institutions, which provided venues for a legal discourse among various stakeholders. Historical evidence suggests the feasibility of incorporating Sharī‘a into state law in Western democratic countries.

The regulation of legal protection for customers who have savings funds in village financial institutions (LPD) is unclear. This causes no legal certainty for customers if the LPD experiences financial problems. The existence of LPDs in Bali is regulated in two types of legal rules, namely state law and customary law (legal pluralism). Analyzing the legal certainty aspects of deposit guarantor in statutory regulations and customary law is the aim of this research. This study uses a normative legal research methodology. This study uses two types of approaches namely, the statute and the conceptual approaches. The legal materials chosen as the basic analysis are primary and secondary legal materials. The conclusion of this study shows that the role of state law is more dominant than customary law. The above conclusion is shown by the fact of the research that most of the matters related to the technical operations of the LPD are regulated by the state law, in this case, is regional regulation about LPD. Based on the results of the study on the norms of local regulations on LPD and the nine awig –awig as a form of customary law from representatives of the nine regencies and city in Bali, there is no regulation on deposit guarantor institutions for LPD customers in Bali to provide legal protection. So that, regulating LPDs in Bali with two legal systems, namely the state law and the customary law system, does not guarantee legal certainty for the safety of customer's deposits. Pengaturan perlindungan hukum bagi nasabah yang mempunyai dana simpanan  di Lembaga Perkreditan Desa (LPD) saat ini tidak jelas. Hal ini menyebabkan tidak ada kepastian hukum bagi nasabah apabila LPD mengalami masalah keuangan. Keberadaan LPD di Bali diatur dalam dua jenis aturan hukum yaitu hukum negara dan hukum adat  (pluralisme hukum). Mengkaji aspek kepastian hukum penjamin simpanan  dalam setiap norma dalam peraturan perundang-undangan serta dalam hukum adat merupakan tujuan penelitian ini. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum doktrinal (normatif). Penelitian ini menggunakan dua jenis pendekatan yaitu pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan (statute approach), dan pendekatan konsep (conceptual approach). Adapun bahan hukum yang dipilih sebagai dasar analisis adalah bahan hukum primer dan bahan hukum sekunder. Kemudian kesimpulan dari penelitian ini menyebutkan bahwa dua sistem hukum dalam pengaturan LPD di Bali menunjukkan peran hukum negara lebih dominan daripada hukum adat.  Kesimpulan ini ditunjukkan oleh fakta penelitian yang ditemukan bahwa sebagian besar hal yang berkaitan dengan teknis operasional LPD yang merupakan satu-satunya organisasi keuangan milik Desa Adat di Bali diatur oleh hukum negara dalam hal ini diatur dalam peraturan daerah tentang LPD. Kemudian, berdasarkan hasil kajian terhadap norma peraturan daerah tentang LPD dan terhadap sembilan awig–awig sebagai bentuk hukum adat dari perwakilan Kabupaten dan Kota di Bali, tidak ada ditemukan pengaturan tentang lembaga penjamin simpanan bagi nasabah LPD di Bali untuk memberikan perlindungan hukum. Dengan demikian pengaturan LPD di Bali dengan dua sistem hukum yaitu hukum negara dan sistem hukum adat ternyata tidak menjamin kepastian hukum bagi keamanan dana simpanan para nasabah.

Indonesia is a unitary state that determines all regions of the country without exception constituting a unity of administrative and legal territory. However, in the territory of Indonesia there are also regions and unity of customary law communities, in this case the traditional village which has special characteristics that are special because it has existed before the formation of the State and has the right of origin in the administration of its government, and is recognized and respected by the State, so that the interaction between the State and customary villages allows conflicts between State law and customary law and traditions in the administration of government. For this reason, an ideal interaction between the State and the traditional village is needed which can create harmony and balance between the Country and the traditional village.

The woman was once considered a commodity and property of her male partner that was to be used for satisfying physical needs and procreation. There was no concept of woman rights in its ideal sense for many centuries in east and the west. Though socialists and historians claim that woman was once head of the family in the agricultural age due to certain factors of that age, the plight of women throughout various phases of history is pityful. It was when Islam came that the just rights for women were granted to them keeping in view their innate capabilities and requirement. The Islamic law of inheritance is one of such rights that accommodate and preserve economic needs of a woman in view of her rights and responsibilities as a mother, sister, daughter, and wife. Muslim states in the current age have also legislated and enforced certain laws in accordance with these Qur’anic principles. Contemporary Pashtun society, mainly a male-dominant society, indicates quite an opposite approach towards woman’s share in inheritance, however. An attempt has been made in this paper to study and explore the context, factors, and impacts of the Pashtun social traditions regarding women’s share in inheritance and explain the teachings of Islam based on rationality and divine wisdom and highlight the State Law in this respect as well.

This paper will discuss the side of the interlegality and interlaw among customary law, religious law and state law in tribal societies in Indonesia, which is focused on the marriage of Sasak people. As an Indonesian local community, the Sasak community has their own local laws in undergoing interactions and social contracts between each other, especially in matters of marriage. Along with the embrace of Islam by the Sasak community, the Islamic law also contributes in decorate every process of the marriage. In addition to the existence of customary law and Islamic law that adorn the marriage of the Sasak community, there is also a modern legal tradition, namely state law. As part of the Indonesian society, the Sasak people cannot escape the great influx of modern legal tradition or national law positivism, which is directly echoed by the state. Departing from this illustration, the discussion in this paper includes: the interlegality between Sasak customary law and religious law (Islamic law); the interlegality between Sasak customary law and state law; and the last is the interlegality among Sasak customary law (local legal order), religious law (Islamic law/Islamic legal order), and state law (state legal order).Tulisan ini akan membahas sisiinterlegalistikantara hukum adat, hukum agama dan hukum negara pada masyarakat kesukuan di Indonesia, yang difokuskan pada perkawinan masyarakat suku Sasak. Sebagai masyarakat lokal Indonesia, masyarakat Sasak memiliki hukum lokal sendiri dalam menjalani intraksi dan kontrak sosial antara satu sama lain, khususnya dalam persoalan perkawinan. Seiring dengan dipeluknya agama Islam oleh masyarakat Sasak, maka hukum Islam pun memberi andil dalam menghiasi setiap proses-proses perkawinan itu. Selain keberadaan hukum adat dan hukum Islam yang menghiasi perkawinan masyarakat Sasak, terdapat juga tradisi hukum modern, yakni hukum negara. Sebagai bagian dari masyarakat Indonesia, masyarakat Sasak tidak bisa melepaskan diri dari arus besar legisme atau positifisme hukum nasional, yang secara langsung digaungkan oleh negara. Berangkat dari ilustasi ini, maka pembahasan dalam tulisan ini meliputi: interlegalistik antara hukum perkawinan adat Sasak dan hukum agama (Hukum Islam); interlegalistik antara hukum perkawinan adat Sasak dan hukum negara; dan terakhir adalah interlegalistik antara hukum perkawinan adat Sasak, hukum agama (hukum Islam), dan hukum negara.

This thesis examines the recognition by the state of the customary law of indigenous peoples by reference to a comparative study of Commonwealth South Pacific Jurisdictions. It aims both to Illuminate the process of recognition as a contribution to the comparative theory of legal pluralism and to describe distinctive elements of the experience with recognition In the Pacific.<br><br>The Pacific case shares many of the features of the Introduction of Western law into non-Western societies generally, but the absence of complex plural legal systems during the colonial period and the contemporary vitality of traditionalism have required a reworking of the policy basis and techniques for recognition.<br><br>This task is approached from four propositions. 'The persistent fact of pluralism' envisages recognition as informed by an acknowledgement that legal pluralism exists and persists as a factual phenomenon, regardless of the extent of accommodation afforded to custom in the state legal system. The nature of this phenomenon and the options open to the state are explored in Chapter 'Legal pluralism and legal theory'. 'A legacy of colonial misconceptions' argues that the dominant paradigm for recognition is colonial and therefore requires critical re-examination. Chapter 11 'The colonial experience and the idea of customary law' discusses the status de jure of customary law in the Pacific during the colonial period and evaluates the impact of colonialism on custom and approaches to its recognition.<br><br>Independence and the reassertion of the indigenous identity of Pacific peoples has created a fresh impetus for recognition. 'The implications of a reassertion of autochthonous values' are explored in three chapters on contemporary reforms: Chapter III, 'custom as a source of underlying law' on the general incorporation of custom; Chapter V, 'Disputes: custom as process' on local-level 'customary courts'; and Chapter VI on 'Land: custom as title'. <br><br>Finally, the fourth proposition, 'justice and group identity', sees recognition as justified by the requirements of justice in relation to Indigenous groups within the nation state. Chapter IV, 'Human rights and cultural relativism', evaluates the scope for group Identity within a framework of non-discrimination and the protection of individuals' human rights.<br><br>The thesis concludes by contrasting the changing ideological role of custom with the realities of recognition and by contrasting recognition by the incorporation of custom into state law with recognition by the adjustment of state law to acknowledge the separate sphere of custom.

Indonesia with all of its diversities in which law and culture live side by side and become part of state law regularity. Centralistic view contends that the only institution which plays role in creating social regularity is the country through the law formed and determined by the country. In its reality, there are many ‘other forces’ that do not come from the state such as customary law, religion law, habits, trade agreement across country and so on. Those forces also have the ability to regulate the community actions bound in it even sometimes the member or the community in the society prefers to obey the rules formed by their group compared to the state law regulations. The research method used was sociological approach with moral, ethic, and religious approach. Traditional communities are groups of individuals who live from generation to generation in a certain geographical territory and are bind by cultural identities, strong relationships with their indigenous land, regions, and natural resources. Their value system determines their economic, political, and legal institutions. Indigenous peoples are groups of individuals who live from generation to generation in a certain geographical territory and are bind by cultural identities, strong relationships with their indigenous land, regions, and natural resources. Their value system determines their economic, political, and legal institutions arranged by customary institutions that have the authority to govern.

Marina Rustow notes how prevalent scholarly attention is to long-form texts of Islamic law—attention that she argues, comes at the expense of studying Islamic legal documents in a sufficient manner. Study of the documents is an indispensable enterprise if we are to fully understand “how law worked in practice.” In view of what we know to have been “heaps” of documents produced by Muslim judges and notaries, Rustow underscores how particularly noticeable a disjuncture there is between those documents and the long-form texts. Moreover, scholars often skip over and thus fail to avail themselves of the utility of documents in adding texture to social and legal history. She cautions social historians against “pseudo-knowledge,” that is, the temptation to overlook complex factors, usually embedded in legal documents, that render our otherwise tame scholarly perception of the past truer but more “unruly.” In the end, her invitation to join her in the study of documents and thereby improve the state of Islamic legal history is terse and timely: “Please go find yourself some documents.”
