RESPONSE OF MADURA'S NAHDLATUL ULAMA SCHOLARS TO THE INDONESIAN ULAMA COUNCIL'S FATWA ON CASH WAKAF

This research was aimed at examining the response made by the ulama (Islamic religious scholars) of the Madura Branch of the NU and to find out their reactions to the MUI fatwa concerning cash wakaf. This research was classified as qualitative. The sample for this research consisted of 101 religious scholars of the Madura branch of the NU. The research was conducted in the form of surveys and interviews with these Madura NU members, to ascertain their arguments. The results of the research obtained showed convincingly that the majority of NU religious scholars accept and agree with the MUI Fatwa concerning cash wakaf, in that the response “agree” (Setuju – S) received the highest percentage return for all items, recording positive results between 40% and 60%, whilst the percentages for the response “strongly agree” (sangat setuju - SS) was the second strongest, receiving between 19% and 48% support. Based upon the results of the interviews conducted by the researchers with the NU Madura theologians, it was their opinion that the MUI Fatwa concerning cash wakaf fulfils the requirements of Islamic religious law. Not only that, but these scholars were also of the opinion that a cash wakaf can be a beneficial social instrument and may assist in overcoming social problems in their regions. The implication of this study is that the validity of the MUI fatwa can be widely accepted among local scholars, providing a strong legal foundation for the development of cash waqf in Indonesia, particularly in Madura. This fatwa is not only recognized as valid according to Islamic law, but also serves as a basis for the acceptance of cash waqf by the public as a legitimate and effective charitable instrument Keywords: Nahdhatul Ulama’, Fatwa Commission, Cash Wakaf, Madura.

Intregrasi Nilai-Nilai Pancasila Dalam Fatwa Fatwa Majelis Ulama Indonesia Terkait Hukum Islam

This research examines the integration of Pancasila values ​​in fatwas issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) regarding Islamic law, with the aim of understanding how the country's basic principles are accommodated in religious decisions that have a broad influence on society. Considering that the MUI plays a significant role in providing legal and moral guidance for Muslims in Indonesia, the fatwas it issues not only reflect an understanding of Islamic law, but must also be in line with the normative framework of Pancasila. This research uses a qualitative approach with analysis of the texts of fatwas issued by the MUI in the last five years, as well as in-depth interviews with experts in Islamic law and Pancasila. The research results show that, although the MUI attempts to integrate Pancasila values, there are several challenges in implementing these values, especially related to issues involving religious pluralism, human rights and social justice. The integration of Pancasila in the MUI fatwa is not only important to maintain social harmony amidst Indonesia's diversity, but also to ensure that the application of Islamic law can contribute to inclusive and just national development. Therefore, the MUI is faced with the crucial task of continuing to develop a more contextual and inclusive approach in formulating fatwas, so that it not only fulfills the demands of sharia, but also supports the nation's ideals as mandated by Pancasila.

MARKET REACTIONS TO BOYCOTT ANNOUNCEMENTS: ANALYZING THE IMPACT ON TARGETED COMPANIES IN INDONESIA

This research aims to examine the changes in abnormal returns (AR) and trading volume activity (TVA) before and after the announcement of MUI Fatwa Number 83 of 2023, which targets companies for boycott due to their alleged affiliation with Israel. This study employed an event study approach, using a 5-day event window, 10-day event window, 20-day event window and 30-day event window before and after the Fatwa's announcement to measure abnormal returns and trading volume activity. The analysis began by examining the normality of the data to determine whether it was normally distributed. For normally distributed data, a Paired Sample T-test was used, while the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test was applied to non-normally distributed data. The analysis reveals a significant difference in AR during the initial 5-day window, indicating a strong short-term market reaction driven by investor sentiment and uncertainty. However, for longer windows (10, 20, and 30 days), no significant differences in AR were found, suggesting that the market stabilized as new information was absorbed, consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) by Eugene Fama (1970). Conversely, TVA showed significant increases across all event windows, indicating sustained investor interest and heightened trading activity. This suggests that while the impact on stock prices was short-lived, the boycott had a lasting influence on trading volume, reflecting continued portfolio adjustments.

Tinjauan Fatwa MUI Nomor 03/KF/MUI-SU/IV/2011 terhadap Pelaksanaan Foto Pre Wedding

The pre-wedding phenomenon is the implementation of photos taken before a legal marriage bond is established. Pre-wedding has been regulated and legally established based on MUI Fatwa Number 03/KF/MUI-SU/IV/2011 which strictly prohibits taking pre-wedding photos due to elements of ikhtilat and khalwat. However, in practice there is a phenomenon of pre-wedding photos in the Ponorogo area which in practice does not lead to elements of seclusion. So based on this, the legal implementation can be reviewed based on the MUI fatwa which discusses the implementation of pre-wedding photos. The purpose of this research is to find out the rationale for couples carrying out pre-wedding photo processions before carrying out the wedding and what the laws are for carrying out pre-wedding photos using Islamic themes and clothing in terms of MUI Fatwa Number 03/KF/MUI-SU/IV/2011. This research uses qualitative research with the type of field research. Meanwhile, data collection techniques were carried out using interviews and observations in the Ponorogo area. From the research conducted, it can be concluded that the rationale for carrying out pre-wedding photos for the perpetrators is as a social function, namely to introduce the prospective bride and groom who have carried out the marriage and also an economic function as a medium for promoting Islamic fashion models. Carrying out pre-wedding photos in Ponorogo is reviewed based on MUI fatwa Number 03/KF/MUI-SU/IV/2011 and is permissible if it does not contain the elements mentioned in the MUI fatwa, namely ikhtilat and khalwat. However, if it contains elements of ikhtilat and khalwat, then taking pre-wedding photos is not permitted.

Reevaluating the Legal Status of Monosodium Glutamate Consumption: The Indonesian Ulema Council’s Fatwas and Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah

This article examines the consistency of the MUI Fatwa regarding Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) from a Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah standpoint. The legal issue addressed in this research arises from the ongoing debate regarding the consumption of MSG. The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) has issued a fatwa declaring that MSG consumption is permissible (halal), provided that it is produced from halal ingredients and is processed, packaged, marketed, distributed, and served in compliance with Islamic law. However, numerous studies have highlighted the adverse effects associated with MSG consumption. This research employs a normative-empirical approach to Islamic law. The primary normative data consists of the MUI fatwa concerning flavoring products, specifically monosodium glutamate, which contains amino acids, as well as various sources discussing Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah. The primary empirical data is derived from interviews with MUI board members regarding their perspectives on the relevant fatwa. Additionally, non-legal sources, including scientific literature on MSG, are utilized. Through this methodological approach, the research yielded several key findings. Although the MUI has declared MSG consumption as halal, individuals must still adhere to the safety guidelines established by the WHO and the Indonesian Ministry of Health. The MUI further advises against excessive or prolonged consumption of MSG due to its harmful effects on one’s well-being, including the soul, mind, reproductive system, beliefs, and property, all of which Islamic law mandates to be safeguarded. Consequently, the research concludes that the MUI fatwa, along with the explanations provided by its members, aligns closely with the principles of Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah, as the prevention of harm takes precedence over the pursuit of benefits.

Reading MUI Fatwa No. 83 of 2023 on The Ruling of Supporting The Palestina: Maslahat Perspective

Juridical Analysis of Marriage for Couples Who Change Gender Based on Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage and Islamic Law

The case of gender change in Indonesia is quite common in society. This has legal implications in various aspects, especially regarding marriage. As in the Decision of the Sumber District Court No. 60/Pdt.P/2021/PN.Sbr, the judge granted the gender change. Following this decision, legal consequences related to the validity of the marriage arise. Based on this description, the formulated issues are how Islamic law views gender change and what the legal consequences are for marriage for those who have changed their gender. In discussing this topic, the author uses a normative juridical method by examining the Marriage Law and Islamic Law, particularly related to the marriage of people who have changed their gender. According to the perspective of Islamic law, gender change in Indonesia is considered haram (forbidden) because it contradicts the Quran, Hadith, and the views of scholars, including the MUI Fatwa No. 03/UMNas-VII/MUI/2010. However, surgery aimed at perfecting sexual organs is permissible and considered halal in Islam. For instance, the case of the applicant Hamidah is an effort to cure her genital organ defect and has no legal implications, so it is allowed by law. When Hamidah, also known as Muhammad Hamdan, wants to marry a woman, it should no longer be an issue because religiously Hamidah's actions are justified by religion, and the elements contained in Article 4 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) and Article 2 Paragraph 1 of the Marriage Law have been fulfilled. Overall, the legality of gender change through the District Court's decision becomes important to determine the legal consequences of marriage, particularly regarding gender status in inheritance distribution and the ability to have offspring.

Reasoning Ecological Fatwas: The Progressive Response of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) to the Phenomenon of Climate Change in Indonesia

This article aims to discuss the epistemological footing of MUI's ecological fatwa and its contribution in responding to the phenomenon of climate change. Today's environmental crisis is no longer a threat to the earth, but has become a reality. Climate change that occurs on a national and global scale leaves a negative impact on the lives of the earth's inhabitants. One of the causes of the environmental crisis is the attitude of humans who are not friendly to the environment. Humans as God's ambassadors on earth are arbitrary in utilizing the potential of natural resources destructively and exploitatively. Therefore, guidance is needed for Muslims in their interactions with the surrounding environment. MUI as a religious authority has contributed in overcoming the environmental crisis and climate change. The ecological fatwas issued by MUI are expected to be able to change the attitude and behavior of Muslims to become environmentally aware (eco-literacy). Epistemologically, MUI's environmentally friendly fatwas are based on maqāṣid sharī'ah reasoning through maslahat-mafsadat analysis. The approach used in finding the value of the spirit of environmental conservation is based on naṣ qaṭ'ī, qaulī and manhajī methods. These three sources of knowledge are formulated in an environmentally friendly fatwa product as a response to the environmental crisis that has become a global discourse today. Thus, MUI's fatwa can function as a tool of social control and a tool of social engineering at the same time.

Optimization of Cash Waqf-Based Crowdfunding: An Alternative Finance for Quality Education

Education in Indonesia still has significant problems such as the lack of adequate learning facilities, the low quality of education, the high cost of education and the large number of students who drop out of school. The main problem of Indonesian education is the high cost of education, making it difficult for students with middle to lower economy to continue their education. Waqf as an Islamic philanthropy can be a solution to education financing, supported by the MUI Fatwa with the provision of waqf developed with sharia securities through crowdfunding platforms. The regulation of cash waqf through the MUI (Indonesian Ulema Council) Fatwa was developed following the times in Fatwa No. 140/DSN-MUI/VIII/2021 which explains waqf as one of the sharia securities as financing waqf. However, the collection of waqf funds for education financing is still not optimal. So, this research aims to provide an alternative to waqf as an Islamic social financing system that can develop the quality of education in Indonesia with the aim of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) in creating quality education. This research method uses library research method with literature study analysis through MUI fatwa approach. The results of this study explain the contract scheme that can make it easier for waqif to waqf through crowdfunding in the form of education financing investment, namely the wakalah bil istismar contract and the syirkah contract. However, crowdfunding for education financing is not widely applied for.

KESADARAN HUKUM PELAKU USAHA MIKRO DAN KECIL (UMK) PRODUK MAKANAN DALAM MELAKSANAKAN SERTIFIKASI HALAL MELALUI SELF DECLARE PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM DI DESA SEDAU KECAMATAN NARMADA KABUPATEN LOMBOK

This journal is motivated by the large number of business actors in Sedau Village who sell processed products but have not received halal certification.

(2) What is the review of Islamic law on the legal awareness of micro and small business actors in carrying out halal certification through self-declare?.

Law, Ethics, and Hadith Ahkam: An Analysis of Fatwa MUI in the Perspective of Progressive Interpretation

Tinjauan Maqāṣid Al-Sharī’ah terhadap Pemboikotan Produk Israel

The conflict between Palestine and Israel has led to a boycott of pro-Israel products. Several countries, including Indonesia through MUI Fatwa No. 83 of 2023, promoted the boycott of products affiliated with Israel as a form of support for Palestine which has caused good and bad impacts, especially for companies associated with Israel, especially in the United States, so the issuance of this fatwa has encouraged Muslims to take a boycott stance with stronger conviction. That is why it is worth studying in the maqāṣid al-sharī’ah study. The type of research method used in this research is qualitative research. This research in collecting data uses the library research study method (Library research). The result of this research shows that the influence of MUI fatwa Number 83 of 2023 for Muslims on the boycott of pro-Israel products, especially in Indonesia, has a strong Sharia foundation because the Muslim community already knows that Israel's actions are colonialism against Palestine. While in the maqāṣid al-sharī’ah review, the boycott of pro-Israel products is to help fellow Muslims to realize the objectives of sharia to achieve the welfare of fellow Muslims and weaken the power of Islam's enemies.
