This research examines an empirical study of the participation of the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) of Lubuklinggau City and students of Universitas Islam Nusantara (UIN) Al-Azhaar Lubuklinggau in the rukyat hilal (crescent moon observation) determination for the year 1446 Hijri. Focusing on the dynamics of collaboration, differences, and commonalities between the two parties, this study aims to describe in detail the procedures and respective roles in the execution of hilal observation. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through direct observation at strategic rukyat locations like Bukit Sulap, in-depth interviews with representatives from Kemenag and UIN faculty/students, and the study of official documentation. The research findings indicate that Kemenag Lubuklinggau City carries out rukyat procedures in accordance with official mandates and national guidelines, using standard equipment and reporting its results for the Sidang Isbat (official crescent moon sighting deliberation). Students of UIN Al-Azhaar Lubuklinggau participate as an integral part of academic practice and the regeneration process for falak (Islamic astronomy) experts, with a focus on empirical learning and the application of theory in the field. Further analysis reveals a positive synergy between Kemenag and the students, where Kemenag provides practical guidance and the students bring an academic enthusiasm. Although there are differences in official mandates, equipment completeness, and experience levels, both parties are united by the same spiritual goal to accurately determine the beginning of the Hijri month. This collaboration not only strengthens the validity of rukyat results at the local level but also contributes to the development of falak science and the nurturing of future Islamic astronomy experts in Lubuklinggau.

Mahr is something that must be given by the husband to the wife in marriage, according to the view of the majority of scholars. Mahr is not a form of buying and selling, but a symbol of respect, love, and the husband’s commitment to his wife. Giving mahr is one of the obligations in marriage that holds significant meaning in the relationship between husband and wife. Although the Qur’an does not explicitly mention a specific amount for the mahr, it clarifies that mahr should be given in a good manner and according to the husband’s ability. Therefore, the amount of mahr can vary depending on the circumstances of each couple and the existing cultural practices. This article examines how modernization has influenced dowry practices in various societies around the world. Dowry, as a gift from men to women during the marriage process, has experienced significant changes due to developments in technology, economics, education, as well as socio-cultural changes that have come with modernization. Through a literature review of various empirical studies in various parts of the world, this article identifies changes in the form, value, meaning and function of dowry in contemporary society. The results of the study show that modernization has produced dowry practices that are more diverse, dynamic and contextual, although this does not always eliminate its cultural essence. Understanding changes in dowry practices is important to obtain a more comprehensive picture of the transformation of the institution of marriage and gender relations in modern society.

‘URF DAN PENGARUHNYA DALAM PENETAPAN HUKUM ISLAM

Ujang Ruhyat Syamsoni — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The Arabs, as the nation to whom the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent and upon whom the Qur’an was revealed, were not a people devoid of traditions and culture. Pre-Islamic Arab society had already developed a distinctive culture and way of life deeply embedded within their daily existence. The mission of the Prophet Muhammad, with the message revealed by Allah, was intended to perfect the morality (akhlaq) of the Arabs in particular and humankind in general. Morality in both Arab and non-Arab societies was manifested in habitual practices that had long been entrenched in the fabric of life. Naturally, the customs of one society differ from those of another. Given these differences, Islamic law must be capable of accommodating the traditions and practices of various communities so that it can be embraced universally by all people, regardless of language, race, skin color, or ethnicity. The process of accommodating, acculturating, and assimilating societal customs into Islamic law is known as ʿurf. The customs (ʿurf) of a community may be accepted in their entirety, accepted with necessary modifications, or rejected altogether when they contradict Islamic law, with consideration given to the principles of maslahah (benefit) and mafsadah (harm) underlying such practices.

PARADIGMA BARU BIMBINGAN PRA NIKAH: INTEGRASI MAQASID SYARIAH DAN FIKIH SYAFI’I UNTUK MEMBANGUN KETAHANAN KELUARGA

This study aims to examine the implementation of pre-marital guidance at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) Tamanan, Bondowoso, through the perspective of maqasid al-shariah and Shafi’i jurisprudence. The research is motivated by the high divorce rate resulting from the lack of preparedness among couples to build a harmonious household. Using a qualitative approach and case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with the Head of KUA, religious counselors, and participants, as well as direct observation of program activities. Thematic analysis was employed by linking empirical findings with the principles of maqasid al-shariah and classical jurisprudence. The results indicate that pre-marital guidance at KUA Tamanan is not merely an administrative requirement but serves as a strategic instrument for internalizing five fundamental objectives of maqasid: protection of religion (hifz al-din), life (hifz al-nafs), intellect (hifz al-‘aql), lineage (hifz al-nasl), and wealth (hifz al-mal). The program integrates positive law, maqasid values, and Shafi’i jurisprudence through references such as Fath al-Qarib, combined with practical skills in communication, financial management, and reproductive health. This integration strengthens both religious legitimacy and practical relevance. The study recommends extending program duration, developing digital modules, and providing post-marital counseling to enhance value internalization. The findings contribute theoretically to Islamic family law discourse and practically to national pre-marital guidance policies.
