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.

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.

Study Methodology

The iddah period is a waiting period that applies to a woman whose marriage is broken legally through a divorce or physically through the death of a husband. Any woman who has not had a prior marriage must observe the iddah period. As one of the legal conditions of marriage, failure to complete the iddah period can result in the cancellation of any secondary marriages. In this study, judges release a verdict in accordance with the laws and legislation of Indonesia, namely Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage and a compilation of Islamic law found in Al-Qur'an and Hadith. This article uses legal research based on positive laws including judicial decision. This study concluded that if a marriage is prohibited for a failure to satisfy the condition of iddah, that marriage must be canceled. This article employs statute and conceptual approaches to legal research, as well as case study methodology, with the aim of departing from the views and doctrines that develop in law in order to build a legal argument that addresses legal issues.  Analyzing the Decision of the Mojokerto Religious Court Number 1365/Pdt.G/2014/PA.Mr, this study argues that prospective spouses are responsible for awareness of their prospective partners’ marriage eligibility and fulfillment of all requirements, material and formal, clearly stipulated in state and religious law. Keywords: Iddah, Islamic Law, Marriage Cancellation

Marriage is a common thing in society with ubudiyyah elements in it. However, legal issues often accompany the sanctity of the marriage bond itself, such as the cancellation of a marriage due to an element of coercion from a third party. Article 71 Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) states that one of the reasons for being able to apply for a marriage cancellation is because of coercion when the marriage took place. The purpose of this study is to analyze the meaning of the phrase "coercion" as a reason for annulment of marriage and its accompanying legal implications. This type of research is classified as normative-empirical legal research using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach plus a sociological approach as a tool. This research refers to a variety of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials compiled and traced through literature studies and interviews with judges of the Religious Courts. The legal materials that have been collected are then analyzed descriptively and analytically. The results showed that what is meant by coercion in marriage is a marriage that occurs not because of one's own will or feels that he is under threat. As a form of legal consequence, annulment of a marriage by force is different from divorce, where the marriage bond that occurred before the breakup of the marriage is considered never to have occurred.

An Islamic system of governance is an ideal system, which is a tantalising objective for many Muslims but often times not achieved in practice. Countries may call themselves ‘Islamic’ but the core element of Islamicity, that of values such as compassion, equity and justice may not have breached the consciousness of their leaders and citizens. Sometimes it is individuals who act as the catalyst for sparking action. For a Muslim, it is his īmān that serves to light his conscience, and guiding him the dispensation of his everyday tasks within his organisation. This individualised īmān may at times serve as a small but critical factor tilting the different organisational functions of government towards integrations under an Islamic system of governance. This paper recounts the challenges of a Muslim engaging in legal issues in a non-Islamic context, seeking to help enable his organisation to undertake the role of incorporating non-Islamic law with Islamic values.

Law And Legislation

Since the beginning, legal theory has concerned itself with the establishment of principles and precepts that govern the procedure of legal interpretation, from the initial stages of the judicial reasoning down to the promulgation of ruling and their implementation, Islam is a total way of life. Muslims are obliged to abide by the rules of Allah in every aspect of their lives, always and wherever they live. However, the actual rules of Allah as given in the Qur’an and the sunna are limited. The Qur’an contains only six hundred verses directly related to laws, and there are approximately two thousand hadiths. The function of interpretation is to discover the intention of the Lawmaker of the matter, therefore, interpretat primarily concerned with the discovery of that which is rot self-evident the objective of interpretation is to ascertain the intention c the Lawmaker with regard to what has been left unexpressed as a matter of necessary interference from the surrounding circumstances. Sometimes, the textual sources did not provide detailed guidelines in which to derive the law, and then the role of interpretation is important to determine the law. In Islamic law the role of Ijtihad undoubtedly important in order to meet new problems. But some of the Jurist contended that the role of Ijtihad had ended and we have to follow the rule that has been stated. An explanation given to this trend is that a point had been reached at which all essential question of law had been thoroughly discussed and further deliberation was deemed unnecessary. In Common law, man-made law and legislation are related to one another within a philosophy of law. Parliament makes law and it is the duty of the courts to give effect to them if properly enacted. While courts may rule that a particular statute or section is invalid for various reasons such as unconstitutionality, they cannot say, "We shall change this Act because it is not appropriate". That function belongs to Parliament (Wu Min Aun 1990: 120). So as in Islamic law, the Lawmaker is Allah S.w.t and the sacred text (Quran) is legislated due to His intention whereas Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad is enacted due to the Prophet's intention. Therefore, Ulama of Usul Fiqh, in making any Ijtihad, they are du y bound to be guided by Quran and Sunnah.

<em>In order to offer a transformative discourse Abdullah Ahmad An-Na'im build a method he called with the evolution of Shari'ah (abrogated). According to him the method can respond to contemporary issues at this time. Because he assumed that abrogating is one of the principal methods and has a wide and high complexity in theology and fiqh (jurisprudence) of Islam. He tries to deconstruct abrogated method and also some methods of ijtihad that had been considered settled by the classical scholar. Abdullah Ahmad An-Na'im radically have done repeated studies against the epistimologi Islamic law as well as the mereformulasi return and customize it with the standard of human rights as well as international law as a benchmark. The method developed by Abdullah Ahmad An-Na'im, he stated three important things that need to be done to realize the abrogating. Text, values of humanity, and logic. He also overestimated human rights, so that a text (paragraph) may be enforced in accordance with human rights. In order to answer the legal issues of contemporary Islam.   </em>

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.

Ideologi khilafah merupakan sebuah ideologi yang kerap kali diinterpretasikan sebagai ideologi yang cukup radikal. Umumnya ideologi khilafah menyoroti isu-isu politik yang bertentangan dengan syariat Islam. Namun, kali ini ideologi khilafah juga menyoroti isu sosial, yaitu LGBT. LGBT merupakan isu yang kontroversial secara global. Sementara ideologi khilafah merupakan sebuah paham yang konsepnya bertentangan dengan negara Indonesia.  Penyebaran ideologi khilafah sudah dilarang oleh pemerintah Indonesia. Namun eksistensinya masih hadir dalam rupa yang baru, yaitu pada sebuah buletin bernama KAFFAH. Kajian ini akan mengungkapkan bagaimana LGBT direpresentasikan dalam perspektif ideologi khilafah. Data dalam penelitian ini berasal dari artikel tentang LGBT pada media Kaffah, edisi 025 yang dirilis pada 26 Januari 2018. Selanjutnya data dikaji secara kualitatif dengan metode analisis deskriptif. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan teori Transitivitas sebagai teori yang menyatakan bahwa bahasa merupakan representasi dari pengalaman manusia. Transitivitas ini berfokus pada tiga komponen, yaitu proses, partisipan, dan sirkumtan. Berdasarkan uraian Transitivitas, diketahui bahwa dalam perspektif ideologi khilafah, LGBT bukan hanya direpresentasikan sebagai masalah sosial, tapi juga sebagai implikasi dari tidak adanya Undang-undang yang bersumber dari hukum Islam yang secara eksplisit dapat menjerat LGBT. The khilafah ideology is an ideology that is often interpreted as a fairly radical ideology. Generally, the ideology of the khilafah highlights political issues that are contrary to Islamic law. However, the Khilafah ideology also highlights social issues, namely LGBT. LGBT is a controversial issue globally. While the khilafah ideology is a concept that is contrary to the Indonesian state. The Indonesian government has banned the spread of the khilafah ideology. But its existence is still present in a new form such as a bulletin called KAFFAH. This study aims to describe how LGBT is represented in the perspective of khilafah. The data of this study is a KAFFAH bulletin article, 025 editions, which released on January 26, 2018. Furthermore, the data were analyzed qualitatively by descriptive analysis methods. This study uses the Transitivity theory approach as a theory which states that language is a representation of human experience. The Transitivity focuses on three components; process, participants, and circumstance. Based on the description of Transitivity, LGBT is not only represented as a social problem but also as an implication of the absence of laws that originate from Islamic law which can explicitly ensnare LGBT.
