2025-05-27T05:08:51+00:00

Islamic law, as a legal system rooted in religious traditions and values, faces great challenges in adapting to the dynamics of modern life. Contemporary fiqh emerged as a solution to this challenge, by offering a more flexible and responsive interpretation to social, political, and technological changes. This article aims to analyze the transformation of Islamic law through contemporary fiqh and the renewal of ushul fiqh to accommodate contemporary issues, such as women's rights, religious pluralism, and individual freedom. It is important to remember that contemporary fiqh does not replace classical fiqh, but rather develops a more flexible interpretation of law, while respecting the basic principles contained in classical fiqh. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with thematic analysis of relevant literature. The results of the study show that contemporary fiqh can serve as a bridge between classical fiqh and the needs of modern times, while maintaining the core values of Islamic law. The contribution of this research lies in the offer of a conceptual framework that strengthens the relevance of fiqh in answering the challenges of modernity in an applicative and contextual manner.

The phenomenon of impulsive marriages, or “bondo nekat” marriages, occurring within pondok pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) has garnered attention due to the frequent lack of thorough preparation and mutual understanding beforehand. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact and determining factors of the success of “bondo nekat” marriage households at Pondok Pesantren Darullughah Wadda’wah. This research employs a descriptive quantitative approach with a field case study method, collecting data through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzing it statistically. The findings reveal that most couples marry with minimal financial preparation and are relatively young, yet they can establish harmonious households thanks to religious knowledge, effective communication, and contentment. Despite economic challenges, they maintain happiness and familial harmony, with pesantren experience strengthening conflict management and duty fulfillment. This study contributes significantly to understanding that material readiness is not the sole determinant of marital success, indicating that religious education and moral values play crucial roles in building a sakinah family.

Supervision of judicial proceedings during the era of the Rashidun Caliphate was a crucial aspect influencing social justice and the sustainability of early Islamic legal systems. The aim of this study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms of supervision and the challenges faced by caliphs in ensuring justice during this period. The research methodology employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical library review, examining primary and secondary sources from classical and contemporary literature. Findings indicate that supervision was systematically implemented through the roles of caliphs, community reports, and direct oversight, despite challenges related to geography, limited human resources, and varying interpretations of law. The principles of power separation and the Ijtihad of caliphs actively strengthened the supervision mechanisms, while socio-political dynamics influenced their application and continuation. This study enriches the historical study of Islamic law and offers valuable insights regarding the relevance of past supervision practices in strengthening justice and integrity in contemporary judicial systems.
