In this inaugural issue of Harvard Law School’s Journal in Islamic Law, we use the new Forum, designed for scholarly debate on recent developments and scholarship in the field, to feature a Symposium on the passage of a new 'Islamic Criminal Code' in Brunei. This new criminal code has generated extensive international media attention but little close analysis. In this Forum, four scholars offer scholarly essays that examine the contours of this new legislation and the extent to which it intersects with antecedents in Islamic history and with precedents in modern criminal law and procedure, comparatively. With a foreword by Intisar A. Rabb, Mansurah Izzul Mohamed, Dominik M. Müller, and Adnan A. Zulfiqar assess the history, workings, and critiques surrounding Brunei’s new code. Accompanying their essays is the SHARIAsource Online Companion to the Forum on Islamic Criminal Law in Brunei, which provides the text of each law, and of its antecedents, at beta.shariasource.com.

On the 1st of May 2014, Negara Brunei Darussalam declared the implementation of an Islamic criminal code of law, thus becoming the first country in modern Southeast Asia to declare so. Inevitably, Brunei was scrutinised by the international media, particularly over its relations with its non-Muslim minorities. This paper investigates the causes of the international media’s anxieties by analysing the socio-political circumstances of the non-Muslim minorities in Brunei, with particular focus on its ethnic Chinese citizens, and with reference to the Islamic Law of Minorities, or ahle dhimmah. Perspectives of the Islamic Law of Minorities toward Brunei’s Chinese citizens are also examined within the political-cultural context of Negara. Thus, exploring simultaneously these concepts, Islam and Negara, this paper asserts that the Islamic Law of Minorities has long been upheld in the Brunei Negara, serving to foster the coexistence of peoples of various ethnic and religious affiliations within the Abode of Peace.

Legal Sanctions

This study aims to contribute to Islamic law regarding the criminal sanction of abortion in the Criminal Code (KUHP) as an effort to reform Indonesian criminal law. The method used is comparison, with data collection carried out by library research, by studying Islamic legal literature, interpretation of the Quran (tafsir), hadith, Criminal Code, and the Draft of Criminal Code. The sanctions for abortion in articles 346, 347, 348 and 349 of the Criminal Code are only imprisonment, not accompanied by fines. According to Islamic law these sanctions are not sufficient, because they tend to make the perpetrators not deterred, as a result the purpose of punishment is not achieved. Therefore, it needs to be updated by including the value of Islamic legal sanctions in the form of fines (diat), so that the purpose of punishment can be achieved.

The Right

The death penalty is one of old criminal type as the age of human life, and the most controversial crime in of all criminal systems, both in countries that adhere to the Common Law System and in countries that embrace Civil Law, Islamic Law and Socialist Law. There are two main thoughts about the death penalty, namely: first, those who want to keep it based on the force provisions, and second are those who wish to the abolition as a whole. Indonesia includes a country that still maintains capital punishment in a positive legal system. This paper aims to resolve problems of the death penalty concept concerning the controversy purpose of the death penalty and to analyze the regulations, procedures and philosophies regarding the death penalty in Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and China. This paper uses normative juridical research and the methods based on the doctrine and developed by the author. The approach used the legal approach, historical approach and comparative approach, then analyzed by the customary method.The result of the study shows that the death penalty can be seen from the philosophical aspects of Indonesian criminal law, as well as the philosophical aspects of Islamic and Chinese criminal law. So that everything can not be separated from the essential legal objectives, namely for the creation of justice. Death penalty in Islamic law turns out the concept of restorative justice specifically for the crime of deliberate killing (al-qatl al-'amd), which the execution highly depends on the victim’s family. The victim’s family, in this case, has the right to choose whether qisas (death penalty) or their apologize for the murder suspect, and diyat payment. While China in the implementation of death penalty applies the concept of rehabilitation, which in the execution of the death penalty is called a death penalty delay for two years and in its implementation, the defendant is given a job and control them. Whereas in Indonesia, capital punishment is a specific criminal offence and threatened with alternatives and is still a draft Criminal Code.

Approach Method

The rise of promiscuity and free sex is the reason for a large number of abortion perpetrators in Indonesia. In the enactment of the law stipulated in the Criminal Code (KUHP) regarding abortion, it is very clear that abortion is prohibited as well as from the perspective of Islamic law it is forbidden to abort the fetus unless there is a medical reason that an abortion must be performed. However, in the opinion of Madzhab, there is still a classification of permissibility before the blowing of the spirit and the scholars agree that it is haram to abort the fetus after blowing the spirit. The research approach used in this study is the Normative Juridical Research Method, namely the approach method used in this study is the normative juridical approach or doctrinal legal research, which is legal research that uses secondary data sources. The results of the research conducted by the author are to provide insight to readers so that they better understand the meaning of abortion and also the punishment of the perpetrators of the crime of abortion both in terms of positive law and Islamic criminal law. In finding the comparison of the punishment between positive law and Islamic criminal law lies in the age limit of the fetus that is in the content of the sanction based on Islamic criminal law, the punishment is to pay ghurrah or diyat Kamilah Dari before the blowing of the spirit or after the blowing of the spirit.

So that the defendant is free from a criminal liability in Islam.Keywords: Persecution, victim died, Islamic law. Abstrak: Putusan hukum hakim Nomor: 164/Pid.B/2013/PN.LMG tentang tindak pidana penganiayaan yang mengakibatkan korban meninggal dunia berdasarkan telah terpenuhinya semua unsur-unsur dari pasal 351 ayat (3) KUHP seperti yang didakwakan oleh jaksa penuntut umum. Dalam memutuskan perkara ini hakim juga mempertimbangkan keterangan saksi, keterangan terdakwa, fakta-fakta yang terungkap di persidangan, serta hal yang memberatkan dan meringankan terdakwa. Oleh karena itu, terdakwa dipidana dengan 5 bulan penjara dan tidak perlu menjalaninya dikarenakan dikenakan hukuman bersyarat. Dalam fiqh jinâyah, perkara ini disamakan dengan pembunuhan semi sengaja. Untuk sanksinya yaitu membayar diyat dan kafârat, sedangkan untuk hukuman penggantinya berupa hukuman ta’zîr. Dalam kasus ini, para terdakwa meskipun telah melakukan perbuatan tersebut, namun tidak bisa dikenakan hukuman tersebut, karena adanya unsur pembelaan diri, sehingga terbebas dari pertanggungjawaban pidana dalam Islam.Kata Kunci: Penganiayaan,  meninggal dunia, Hukum Islam.

Criminal Legislation

In Germany, the practice of forcing a person to marry against his or her own free will was not explicitly penalized and did not attract much political attention until the beginning of the new millennium. Since the mid-2000s, however, the German legislature has enacted a number of laws concerning forced marriage, possibly due to increased public and media interest in honor-related gender violence in immigrant communities. In 2011, the German Criminal Code (StGB) was amended to include “Forced Marriage,” thus making forcing someone to marry an offense in its own right. In light of similar recent developments criminalizing forced marriages in other European jurisdictions—such as England and Wales—this article aims to critically assess the German legislation and its potential impact on victims and offenders. First, this article considers the German criminal legislation in detail. Second, it contemplates the underlying question of whether the introduction of criminal law as a repressive measure effectively addresses the issue of forced marriage. Third, this article contemplates non-legislative measures that could contribute to affording more holistic protection. Finally, it concludes that improving the situation for victims of forced marriage in practice requires more than adopting criminal law on the matter.

Changing Society

The analogy becomes an absolute thing that is not permitted under the Indonesia criminal law. However, in the moving and changing society, written criminal laws are not always able to accommodate all the crime that happened. The prohibition of analogy it is not in line with Islamic law, “qiyas”, which no other is the analogy. Analogy should be accepted as part of a form of interpretation that has been known in the criminal law. Ban the use of analogy also confirmed in the draft Criminal Code. However, reading the ban of analogy must be done carefully. Analogi menjadi satu hal mutlak yang tidak diperkenankan dalam hukum pidana. Namun demikian di tengah perkembangan masyarakat yang bergerak dan senantiasa berubah, perundang-undangan pidana tertulis tidak selamanya mampu menampung seluruh tindak pidana yang terjadi. Doktrin hukum pidana yang melarang analogi ini justru tidak sejalan dengan konsep hukum Islam yang mengenal qiyas, yang tiada lain adalah analogi. Seyogyanya analogi bisa diterima sebagai bagian dari bentuk penafsiran yang selama ini telah dikenal dalam hukum pidana. Larangan penggunaan analogi juga ditegaskan (kembali) dalam Rancangan KUHP. Namun demikian perlu kehati-hatian dalam membaca larangan analogi dalam Rancangan KUHP ini.

Updating laws is part of and at the same time implements punishment. Islamic Judicial Law, specifically concerning Role Law, stoning law for adulterers, as well as qishash, often gets a sharp spotlight from Non-Islamic societies such as Orientalists, as well as research, principles, legal laws and others required in the substance of the Criminal Code, actually regulated and applied in Islamic Law. On the other hand Islamic law in transition is not as rigid as imagined by Orientalists, but is instead flexible and can be used as a source of renewal of the National Criminal Law.</em></p>
