https://journal3.uin-alauddin.ac.id/index.php/al_risalah/article/view/51440
<p><em>This article aims to explore the role of </em><em>Hatobangon</em><em>, a respected traditional figure, in resolving </em><em>waqf</em><em> land disputes in Bangun Purba village, Kecamatan Lembah Sorik Marapi, Kabupaten Mandailing Natal. Specifically, it examines the effectiveness of </em><em>Hatobangon</em><em> as a mediator within the customary dispute resolution system and identifies the factors influencing their success in maintaining community harmony</em><em>. </em><em>The study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing field observations, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, including </em><em>Hatobangon</em><em> leaders and community members, and a review of relevant local regulations and customary practices. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis to uncover patterns in how </em><em>Hatobangon</em><em> handles </em><em>waqf</em><em> land disputes and the challenges encountered in the process. The findings indicate that </em><em>Hatobangon</em><em> plays a central role in mediating disputes by combining customary law and social considerations. However, the effectiveness of this mediation process is hampered by several factors, including inadequate facilities, limited resources, and a lack of public trust in the customary dispute resolution mechanism. Despite these challenges, </em><em>Hatobangon</em><em> remains a key figure in ensuring that the outcomes of disputes reflect local cultural values and preserve community cohesion. This study provides new insights into the rarely examined role of </em><em>Hatobangon</em><em> in resolving </em><em>waqf</em><em> land disputes, highlighting the intersection of customary law and Islamic principles in rural conflict resolution. It adds to the body of literature on indigenous dispute mechanisms by focusing on the unique socio-cultural dynamics of Bangun Purba village. The research suggests that enhancing the resources and capacity of </em><em>Hatobangon</em><em> could improve the efficiency of dispute resolution in rural areas. Furthermore, increased community education and formalization of the </em><em>waqf</em><em> land dispute mechanism could strengthen public trust in this customary system, promoting social harmony and sustainable land management practices.</em></p>Abd Mutholib NstAbd Mukhsin

https://journal3.uin-alauddin.ac.id/index.php/al_risalah/article/view/49658
<p>This research aims to examine the traditional beliefs surrounding <em>pemali</em> in marriage practices within the Luyo community. Specifically, it explores the community’s understanding of <em>pemali</em>, the reasons behind these beliefs, and how they function as preventive measures to avoid misfortune or failure in marriage. The study investigates the cultural significance of <em>pemali</em> and its enduring influence on contemporary marriage rituals. The study employs a qualitative approach, using ethnographic methods such as participant observation and in-depth interviews with key informants from the Luyo community. Data were collected through fieldwork and analyzed thematically to uncover the underlying motivations and meanings attached to <em>pemali</em> practices. The research also draws on a literature review of similar cultural practices in Indonesia to provide a comparative analysis. The findings reveal that the Luyo community views <em>pemali</em> as a set of prohibitions imposed on brides and grooms to prevent calamities such as accidents or other misfortunes. These beliefs are deeply rooted in empirical experiences, either from personal encounters or the collective memory of the community. The study also highlights that <em>pemali</em> is perceived as a spiritual safeguard, with marriage seen as a long and sacred journey that is vulnerable to the interference of evil forces. Therefore, <em>pemali</em> serves as a protective measure to ensure marital success. This research contributes to the understanding of the persistence of traditional beliefs in modern marriage practices, specifically in the context of <em>pemali</em>. While previous studies have explored cultural beliefs in other regions of Indonesia, this study offers a unique focus on the Luyo community's specific practices and the experiential basis for their adherence. It provides new insights into how traditional beliefs are maintained and transmitted through generations in a contemporary setting. The study has implications for understanding the intersection of cultural traditions and modern life, particularly in the context of marriage. It sheds light on how communities like Luyo continue to rely on traditional preventive measures in marriage, which could influence both social practices and future research on cultural preservation. Additionally, these findings may inform local policymakers and cultural practitioners about the importance of integrating respect for traditional beliefs with evolving social norms.</p>Noercholis Rafid.

https://journal3.uin-alauddin.ac.id/index.php/al_risalah/article/view/51647
<p>This study investigates the implementation of premarital counseling for engaged couples as a preventive measure against stunting from the perspective of <em>maslahah</em> (public interest). The research focuses on the efforts made by the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in Kampung Rakyat Subdistrict, Labuhanbatu Selatan Regency, in educating future spouses about stunting prevention. The research employs a qualitative approach, using a case study method to analyze the various strategies implemented by KUA in identifying, preventing, and addressing stunting cases among children in the region. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis to capture the role of KUA and its collaboration with health agencies. The findings highlight the pivotal role of KUA in providing essential education and guidance to prospective couples on stunting prevention. The strategies include offering premarital counseling, disseminating health information, and fostering partnerships with relevant health sectors to ensure adherence to applicable laws and regulations. The study also explores the positive outcomes and challenges of these initiatives in Desa Tanjung Medan, Kampung Rakyat. This research is novel in its integration of the <em>maslahah</em> principle into the evaluation of stunting prevention efforts within premarital counseling, offering a unique Islamic legal perspective on addressing public health concerns through religious guidance. The study suggests that strengthening KUA's role in stunting prevention through collaborative efforts with healthcare institutions can significantly enhance the effectiveness of premarital counseling programs. It also underscores the importance of aligning religious and public health initiatives to ensure better outcomes for future generations.</p>Aldi KasanovaHeri Firmansyah

<p>Domestic violence is a prevalent issue within families, often leading to divorce and posing challenges for resolution. This research investigates the factors contributing to divorce due to domestic violence in the Sidikalang Religious Court, in relation to Law Number 23 of 2004 on the Elimination of Domestic Violence. The study aims to explore the causes of domestic violence, its impact on marriages, and efforts to mitigate its occurrence. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology, data was collected through interviews with key informants and analyzed within the framework of empirical juridical research. The findings reveal that domestic violence is defined by Law No. 23 of 2004 as any act causing physical, sexual, psychological harm, or neglect, including threats or coercion within the household. Key factors contributing to domestic violence include the husband's temperamental behavior, infidelity, arranged marriages, and external influences such as alcohol and gambling. Efforts to minimize domestic violence involve legal reforms, preventive measures, and both legal and non-legal interventions. This research provides an empirical understanding of domestic violence within the context of Indonesian law and highlights the importance of comprehensive strategies for its prevention. The originality of this study lies in its focus on case study legal research at the Sidikalang Religious Court, contributing valuable insights into the intersection of law and social phenomena.

https://journal3.uin-alauddin.ac.id/index.php/al_risalah/article/view/51049
<p><em>This article aims to examine the significance of offspring ancestry and the spouse selection for Javanese Muslims in Surabaya in particular how social and religious norms influence individual decisions regarding marriage. Javanese Muslim society has binding social norms for its adherents in marriage. This study uses an experimental ethnographic approach with interactive dialogue methods and participant observation for seven months. The findings of the study show that Javanese Muslims in Surabaya still emphasize that offspring in marriage with children is considered a valuable asset of the family and the existence of a household. The absence of children can be considered a disgrace that causes social stigma for spouses. In addition, Javanese Muslims consider it important to the spouse selection with the guidance of the norm of ‘bibit-bebet-bobot’ which involves consideration of offspring, social status, and character of the partner. Although individuals have the freedom to spouses selection, they are bound by social norms to adhere to them to avoid social conflicts and negative stigmas.</em> <em>Social norms that are practiced excessively or negligently cause harm to individuals in spouse selection, this is considered contrary to the principle of middle position in maqasid shariah. The implications of these findings suggest that social norms and constructions in Javanese Muslims are still strong and influence individual decisions in marriage. This study contributes to an understanding of how religious and social norms can shape cultural practices at the local level as well as their relevance in the context of Islamic and social norms.</em></p>Fahruddin Ali Sabri

https://journal3.uin-alauddin.ac.id/index.php/al_risalah/article/view/51973
<p style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">The purpose of this research is to examine the implementation of Article 105 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), focusing on the protection and support for abandoned underage children in Medan. Although Article 105 of KHI designates the mother as the primary guardian for minors, a significant number of children are still abandoned by their mothers, often left to live on the streets. The Medan Social Services Department, as a government agency, plays a critical role in addressing and reducing the prevalence of abandoned minors by providing essential support and care. A qualitative case study methodology was employed, with data collected through document analysis and interviews with officials at the Social Services Department of Medan. This approach allowed for an in-depth examination of the department’s responsibilities, the specific measures implemented to safeguard underage children, and the challenges encountered in fulfilling these duties. The findings reveal that while the Social Services Department in Medan works to implement Article 105 KHI by facilitating support services for neglected children, it faces substantial challenges, including limited resources, inadequate funding, and staffing shortages, which impact the effectiveness of care provided. These limitations highlight the need for ongoing development in both policy and practical support. This study contributes original insights into the operationalization of KHI regulations concerning child welfare in a municipal context, emphasizing the role of government intervention where parental responsibility is lacking. The implications suggest that increased resource allocation and inter-agency collaboration are necessary to enhance the protection of vulnerable minors, contributing valuable perspectives to both child welfare policy and Islamic legal studies on child guardianship.</p>Muhammad Fahmi SiagianHasbullah Ja’far

2024-11-012024-11-0116717810.24252/al-risalah.vi.51973ISLAMIC CRIMINAL LAW ON CHILD PROTECTION: ADDRESSING PARENTAL MALTREATMENT IN TANAH KARO
https://journal3.uin-alauddin.ac.id/index.php/al_risalah/article/view/52135
<p>This research aims to examine the application of Islamic criminal law in cases of child maltreatment by parents and assess the effectiveness of law enforcement by the Tanah Karo Police, specifically in relation to Law No. 35 of 2014 on Child Protection. The study seeks to highlight the alignment between Islamic law principles, which emphasize the protection of children, and Indonesia’s legal framework for child welfare. A qualitative approach was employed using a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, providing comprehensive insights into the legal and social aspects of child maltreatment cases handled by the Tanah Karo Police. Findings indicate that Islamic criminal law views child maltreatment as a severe offense, prescribing punishments such as <em>diyat</em> (financial compensation) or <em>hudud</em> (fixed penalties) depending on the severity of the abuse. The Tanah Karo Police, in adherence to Article 76C of Law No. 35 of 2014 on Child Protection, has established collaborative efforts with the Office for Women's Empowerment and Child Protection as well as the Karo District Social Services to address and mitigate child maltreatment cases. This study provides a unique perspective on the integration of Islamic criminal law principles with national child protection laws, underscoring the role of law enforcement in bridging cultural, religious, and legal frameworks to protect children. The findings suggest that integrating Islamic law principles into the enforcement of child protection laws may strengthen the legal and moral mandate for child welfare, encouraging a more cohesive approach across different sectors of Indonesian society. This integration has the potential to improve collaboration between law enforcement and social services in cases of child maltreatment, enhancing support for victims and accountability for offenders.</p>Ilham AlfariziRamadani
