The enactment of Islamic law during colonialism was marked by the thought of Sayyid Usman, a historical figure who had a great interest in the study of Islamic law in Indonesia during the Dutch East Indies colonization. As a scholar, he has special attention to the continuity of Islamic law in Indonesia, especially regarding Islamic family law, which at that time had been widely practiced by people to replace customary law. In addition, he also contributed a lot of thoughts in the context of enforcing Islamic law by organizing religious justice institutions and compiling Islamic family law. Formally the institutions of religious justice, especially in Java and Madura, were only formed by the Dutch East Indies government in 1882, through the Staatsblad 1882 No. 152. This formation is at once a measure of the reorganization of religious justice institutions, namely by establishing new religious courts in addition to each landraad (the same court) with the same legal area, on average as large as the district. It's just that if before the religious court was independent, then with this reorganization the power to carry out the verdict was handed over to landraad. K.F. Holle, L.W.C. Van den Berg, and Snouck Hurgronje, these three Dutch people were very influential in the birth of the theory of the enactment of Islamic law in Indonesia, L.W.C. Van den Berg is one of the initiators of the theory of receptio in complexu, which states that "for Muslims full Islamic law applies because he has embraced Islam even though there are still deviations in its implementation. Next to L.W.C. Van den Berg carries the theory of receptio in complexu, and Snouck Hurgronje as the originator of receptie theory, which states that for indigenous people basically customary law applies, and Islamic law applies to indigenous people if Islamic legal norms have been accepted by society as customary law.

In this discussion the development of inheritance law was stated, from the time before  colonialism until  the time of independence. In the development of inheritance law before  the colonial period, the empire and  the sultanate applied inheritance law as a living law in the  community as well as a culture of Indonesian law in its time.  When  the Dutch East Indies government arrived, Indonesia had  implemented Islamic religious law, which  then continued and recognized its legal authority, Van den Berg conceptualized Staatsblat 1882 Number 152 which contained provisions for indigenous people or colonized people, religious laws must be applied in his environment. Snouck Hoergronje, advisor to the  Dutch East Indies Government, initiated the  receptie theory of Islamic issues  and  domestic children who pro- posed “Islam  can apply if it has been perceived by customary law”, so adat  is what determines the existence or absence of Islamic law. Furthermore, at the  time  of independence Indonesian Islamic law experts tried  to make  Islamic law a national law, with the effort of national seminars in the formation of law, Islamic law was made as one of the sources in addition to European law and Customary law

In Indonesia, family law is well regulated in law or government regulations. In this case, with the increasingly complex family law issues supported by divorce rates, which reached 398,245 in 2015, then in 2017, it increased to 415,898, and with the development of science and technology, so many problems arise both in terms of muamalah or family law itself. For this reason, structuring is needed through legal reform that makes it follow what is needed by the wider community. Starting from this, this paper will discuss the arrangement of Islamic family law and the dynamics of family law reform in Indonesia. This study aims to provide an overview of the arrangement of Islamic families and Islamic family law reform in Indonesia. This paper uses qualitative research methods that are library researching.

Judicial divorce symbolises women’s resistance to the domination of local interpretations and practices of Muslim family law in Lombok, such as male arbitrary repudiation and polygamy. In this pattern, husbands hold the privilege to terminate marital unions unilaterally and remarry without their wives’ consent. These practices find their grounds in classical-medieval Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), which is endorsed by the custom of patriarchal society. It is by turning to the court that women attempt to subvert such hegemonic discourses. By examining divorce cases from the religious courts, and looking at their broader socio-religious and cultural contexts, this study attempts to propose an analysis of judicial divorce as a locus of women’s resistance against male domination endorsed by local practices of Islamic law, customary law and state law, and examines an important dimension of contemporary practice of Islamic family law, which reveals patterns of domination and resistance.

Family law is the most powerful law practiced in Islamic history, but this does not mean that it avoids the demands of changing times. Today, there are no less than thirteen problems related to family law that have arisen in the Muslim world. This problem arises not only because of demands for changing times, but also because of efforts to unify, codify and legislate Islamic law in a number of Muslim countries. This problem requires not only solutions but also reforms. This study aims to examine the model of understanding, practicing, reforming and transforming Islamic law in Indonesia and its impact on the position of standard classical fiqh books and the independence of judges in the Religious Courts. This research is a non-doctrinal normative qualitative research type. This study found a variety of models in the exploration, practice and reform of family law in Indonesia. The impact of the reform and transformation of family law in Indonesia is that classical fiqh books are no longer used as the main reference and the Religious Court System is closer to the civil law system. However, the reform and transformation of family law in Indonesia did not reduce the independence of religious judges in exploring and discovering more contextual Islamic law.

Malaysia is a Muslim country consisting of thirteen States and Federal Territories (Kuala Lumpur, Labuan and Putrajaya). In principal, the official madhhab that is practised  in Malaysia is Shafi’i Madhhab and this becomes common to all Malaysians even though it is not officially registered in the identification card of a Malaysian. Accordingly, in many religious affairs and practices, the society is based upon the principles or fiqh al-Shafi’i. Nevertheless, views of other Sunni madhhab is freely practiced by all Malaysians. Furthermore, the codification on Islamic law in the State Enactments in all States in Malaysia is based upon four Sunni schools of law. It follows that the Islamic law in Malaysia is not purely based on the Shafi’i madhhab and in many occasions adopted the view of Hanafi school depending on the adaptability of the opinion to the society. This article deals with the application of fiqh al-Hanafi under the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984. Analysis will extend to the practices in the Malaysian Syariah Court when dealing with cases involving Muslims and the most appropriate view of the madhhab that is to be adopted by the Syariah Court in order to solve a particular issue. The study employs the qualitative method of study where it only involves library research. It is believed that this research will be beneficial to all who seek knowledge and useful to all researchers, academicians, legal practitioners, students and scholars.

This study utilized content analysis method on discussions put forward by the jurists in authoritative jurisprudence books as well as contemporary jurisprudence books and law provisions that are provided in Islamic and civil law implemented in Malaysia to date. The findings show that Islamic family law protects rights of the illegitimate child in terms of self-identity (lineage), custody, maintenance and marriage guardianship. However, the issue regarding the surname of the illegitimate child was raised in Civil Court, arguing that he/she should be allowed to be named to his/her biological father who had married the mother.
