AbstractA recent Indonesian Islamic law compilation presents an apparent anomaly in restricting the right to give away wealth as hiba to one-third of an estate — whereas the trend in Indonesian law reform has been to bring Islamic law closer to local inheritance practices. By means of a narrative analysis of a recent court decision, I identify a discourse of justifying the new restrictions in terms of general religious and social norms of fairness and agreement among heirs. Examination of local debates over law and property in two Sumatran societies, Gayo and Minangkabau, suggests that hiba is regarded as an impediment to Islamization of social life, and as introducing elements of unfairness and discord. Thus the new rule can be explained as having been motivated by local social processes and social norms.

The application of family law in Muslim-majority countries, especially the Middle East and its surroundings, has different practices, we do not find uniformity in family law practices in these countries. This is influenced by differences in government systems, cultures, situations and conditions of society of each country. Egypt is one of the predominantly Muslim countries which has established Islam as the state religion. Therefore, the principles of Islamic law are the main source of law in the making and formulation of laws, including family law. The practice of Islamic law in Egypt does not fully apply only to areas of family law in a limited scope including the distribution of inheritance and marriage. However, the application of family law in Egypt continues to undergo reforms and reforms. Family law reform took place in Egypt in 1920. This was marked by the promulgation of Law no. 25/1920 regarding family law and care (Law of Maintenance and Personal Status / Qanun al-Ahwal al-Syakhsiyyah wa al-Siyanah). Family law reform in the 1970s was marked by the issuance of laws regarding the authority to the judiciary to force parties (husbands) to pay maintenance fees to wives, widows, children, or parents in 1976. the current era of family law in Egypt continues to experience development. Abstrak Penerapan hukum keluarga di negara-negara yang berpenduduk mayoritas Muslim khususnya kawasan Timur Tengah dan sekitarnya memiliki praktik yang berbeda-beda, kita tidak menemukan keseragaman praktik hukum keluarga di negara-negara tersebut. Hal ini dipengaruhi oleh perbedaan sistem pemerintahan, kultur, situasi dan kondisi masyarakat setiap negara. Mesir merupakan salah satu negara yang berpenduduk mayoritas Muslim yang menetapkan Islam sebagai agama negara. Karena itu, prinsip-prinsip hukum Islam menjadi sumber hukum utama dalam pembuatan dan perumusan undang-undang termasuk hukum keluarga. Praktik hukum Islam di Mesir tidak berlaku secara utuh hanya bidang-bidang hukum keluarga dalam ruang lingkup yang terbatas meliputi pembagian warisan dan perkawinan.  Namun, penerapan hukum keluarga di Mesir terus mengalami reformasi dan pembaruan. Pembaruan hukum keluarga terjadi di Mesir pada tahun 1920. Ini ditandai dengan diundangkannya UU No. 25/1920 mengenai hukum keluarga dan penjagaan (Law of Maintenance and Personal Status/Qanun al-Ahwal al-Syakhsiyyah wa al-Siyanah). Reformasi hukum keluarga pada tahun 1970an ditandai dengan dikeluarkannya aturan undang-undang mengenai kewenangan kepada lembaga peradilan memaksa pihak-pihak (suami) untuk membayar uang pemeliharaan kepada isteri-isteri, janda-janda, anak-anak, ataupun orang tua pada tahun 1976.

This article aims to analyze the protection of life (ḥifẓ al-nafs) as the law reason (`illat) of the rights of children outside of legal marriage (ALPS) of biological fathers. Ḥifẓ al-nafs is assumed to be `illat emerging from many neglected ALPS phenomena and resulting in negative stigma and discrimination. This research is a study of Islamic law using the theory of `illat in analyzing the problem of children's rights outside of legal marriage. The research concludes that the presence of the 2010 Constitutional Court decision regarding the civil rights of ALPS with biological fathers reveals new spaces in seeing the nature of ALPS rights. This is different from the fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council and classical fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) arguments, which tend to only link the child to the mother. Based on the Constitutional Court decision, the essence of ALPS rights from biological fathers is limited to civil rights. The responsibility of the biological father to ALPS is in the form of physical and mental support, while denying other rights such as guardianship of marriage; ALPS rights today have been largely abandoned. Thus, the protection/care is necessary. `Illat (the reason of law) in ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of the life) is real and can be juxtaposed with `illat ḥifẓ al-nasl (protection of heredity). Ḥifẓ al-nasl does not completely fulfill the real requirements of an `illat which can abolish the abandonment of ALPS.

When obligations do not work in a balanced manner in fostering a household, disputes and arguments often occurs which will result in the termination of a marriage.  Divorce can occur by various factors in a marriage.  One of the factors that divorce causesare one among apostate husbands or wives, which if the marriage continues to be maintained will cause loss. As a result of the divorce because the husband has lapsed into marriage, the marriage is immediately finished, and if the marriage is fulfilled, a wife will not get mut'ah and a living from her husband, but it is different from being practiced in a religious court whose husband is burdened with giving mut '  ah and livelihood iddah.  So with the existence of these problems the author will review the judges' considerations in considering their decisions and reviewing Islamic law. This study aims to find out about the definition of Mut'ah, the livelihood of iddah and apostasy, to find out the legal basis used by the judge in deciding cases and what according to the views viewed from Islamic law.To answer these three problems, the researcher used a qualitative approach with field research that collected data directly from the source.  In qualitative research, the researcher is faced directly with the respondent, namely a direct interview by the Judge in the Nganjuk Religious Court.Based on the research, even though the husband apostatized and married the husband was still obliged to give mut'ah and livelihood because even though the apostate's husband would not obstruct the husband's obligation to his wife, and the divorce divorce case was equated with ordinary divorce divorce.  Judges use the basis of article 149, 117, with reasons for divorce article 116 letter (f) and (h) KHI (Compilation of Islamic Law) and the results of RAKERNAS MARI in 2005. and viewed from a review of Islamic law judges use volcanic jurisprudence II if  the termination of marriage because of apostasy does not require a court decision or judge's decision and is immediately canceled and does not see the consequences of the apostasy.

One of the Islamic doctrines that becomes methodological base for Muslims in the implementation of Islam is ijtihad. This concept, however, is considered valid when it is applied in zhanni areas, not qath¢i ones and Islamic theology. In Islamic terminology, terms syari’ah and fiqh are interesting to be discussed and reformed. Transformative-contextual Islamic thinking reconstruction is greatly needed so that syari’ah exists and is able to become modern constitution. One of the Islamic thinkers who tries to actualize ijtihad as a scientific paradigm in Islamic law reform is Abdullah al-Na’im. He tries to reform Islamic law in facing Western law development, especially in public Islamic law. This writing is constructed to see Al-Naim’s intellectual setting and how he sets ijtihad as scientific paradigm in Islamic law. Hopefully, this writing will give perspectives in facing modern problems.
