Between Facts and Norms: Contributions to a Discourse Theory of Law and Democracy

Contemporary Political Philosophy: An Introduction

Allah SWT hates divorce the most even though He still allows us to do it. If the repudiation (talaq) has been conducted three times, the husband and wife should not reconcile unless the ex-wife marries another man ( muḥallil ) and has been divorced by her second husband after having an intercourse as a husband and wife. In contrast, there is an obligation for married couples who have been separated because of the third talaq to remarry in Nagari Binjai. This obligation is based on the belief that this is a religious obligation that must be followed by the tradition. The separation because of the third talaq is believed to bring disaster to the village and the subjects will suffer in present life and will not smell the heaven aroma in the hereafter. Even though kawin maupah tradition is maslahah and permissible by some Islamic scholars, it still requires the husband and wife to conduct intercourse prior to the divorce. The maslahah of the kawin maupah is contrary to the Prophet’s guidance, since there is no sexual intercourse in this payment-ordered marriage. Therefore, the practice of kawin maupah by the Nagari Binjai community does not fulfill the qaṣd al-Syâri’ and maqâṣid al-aṣliyah which should be actualized in the maqâṣid al-syari'ah’s theory.

In Islamic shari'ah, all aspects of life are regulated based on the Al-Quran and Sunnah so that it creates benefit for its adherents and cannot be separated in delivering and receiving the news. Speaking through the benefits, it seems that, it has referred to the purpose of Islamic shari'ah, in which the language of religion is called maqashid syari'ah. This paper focuses on the hoax phenomenon on social media using maqashid syari'ah. This paper aims to further examine the maqashid syari'ah as a news filter on the internet.

Maqashid syari’ah as a filter of hoax through al-quran perspective

This paper examines empirical facts of market failure and government failure to improve people’s welfare; capitalism and neo-liberalism do not provide a space for states to implement policies for social justice. With regard to the failure of the welfare state to bring the citizen to fair welfare, this paper offers the formulation of a welfare state based on Maqa>s}id Al-Shari>‘ah. This study employs Maqa>s}id Al-Shari>‘ah developed by Imam Al-Juwaini, Izzu al-Din bin ‘Abd al-Salam, Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi and Al-Tahir Ibn ‘Ashur as the methodological framework. It formulates welfare state of maqa>s}id al-shari>‘ah, which is built through the fulfillment of the three levels of individual needs (citizens) (al-D}aru>ri>yah, alha> ji>yyah and al-tahsi>ni>yah; primary, secondary and suplementary rights), public needs (equal distribution; al-ha>jah al-‘ammah), protection or assurance (alismah), and law enforcement (al-fit}rah (order), equality (al-musa>wah), freedom (al-h}urri>yah), magnanimity (al-samh}ah)). The morality-spirituality-religiosity and transcendence principles develop the formulation. The maqa>s}id al-shari>‘ah should be the “soul” of every policies and rules or laws. The development of the formulation of welfare state based on Maqa>s}id al-Shari>‘ah will build Islamic man/religious man (citizen), who is prosperous spiritually and materially. Artikel ini mengkaji kenyataan empiris mengenai kegagalan pasar (market failure) dan kegagalan negara (government failure) dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan rakyat, kapitalisme dan neo-liberalisme tidak memberikan tempat bagi negara untuk melakukan kebijakan demi keadilan sosial. Berdasarkan kegagalan negara kesejahteraan menghantarkan warga negara menuju kesejahteraan yang berkeadilan maka tulisan ini menawarkan formulasi negara kesejahteraaan berdasarkan Maqa>s}id al- Shari>‘ah. Kajian ini mempergunakan Maqa>s}id al-Shari>‘ah sebagai kerangka metodologis yang dikembang oleh Imam Al-Juwaini, Izzu al-Din bin ‘Abd al-Salam, Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi dan Al-Tahir Ibn ‘Ashur. Kajian ini memformulasikan negara kesejahteraan berdasarkan maqa>s}id al-shari>‘ah yang dibangun melalui pemenuhan kebutuhan individu (warga negara) berdasarkan tingkatannya; al-D{aru>ri>yah, al-h}a>ji>yyah dan al-tah}si>ni>yah (hak primer, sekunder dan suplementer), kebutuhan publik, (al-h}u>jah al-‘as} mmah) terealisasi pendistribusian yang merata, adanya proteksi atau jaminan (al-is}mah) dan tegaknya hukum melalui, al-fi>rah (ketertiban), equality (al-musa>wah) kesetaraan, freedom (al-h}uri>yah) kebebesan, magnanimity (alsamh} ah) toleransi. Formulasi tersebut dibangun dengan landasan moral-spritual - religius dan transendental. Menjadikannya “roh” pada setiap kebutuhan dalam membuat kebijakan, peraturan-peraturan atau perundang- undangan. Dengan terwujdnya formulasi negara kesejahteraaan berdasarkan Maqa>s}id al-Shari>‘ah akan melahirkan islamic man/manusia religius/karakter (warga negara) yang beriman atau pribadi yang memiliki karakter, sejahtera secara batin (spritual) dan lahir (material).
