DISASTER IN SYARIAH PERSPECTIVE: A STUDY ON CUSTOM AND LOCAL WISDOM CORRELATION .
The sources of Syariah (Islamic law) are classified into two categories; primary and secondary sources. In fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), the classification is important for it will determine from which the ahkam (rules) of Allah are discovered, in which the dalil (guide) or source of Syariah will give weight. The majority of scholars agreed that there are four primary sources for Syariah; Quran, Sunnah, Qiyas (analogy). The other category is the secondary sources in which the scholars differ in utilising them as a basis in deriving the ahkam. Some scholars considered them as a source, whilst others decline to utilise them in deriving the rulings of Fiqh. or adat (custom) is one of the Syariah secondary sources defined as the matter on which a community of people agree in the course of their daily life, or it is a common usage to refer to specific actions repeatedly performed by individuals and communities. Majority of mazahib (schools of fiqh) consider a legal principle in respect of matters about which there is no definitive actions. They consider as a dalil when there is no specific nas (text) or it is contrary to any other dalil. Meanwhile, local wisdom (local knowledge) can be defined as a policy or noble values contained in the richness of the local culture in the form of traditions, manners and life mott

INTERDISCIPLINARY INSIGHTS INTO SYARIAH AND LEGAL DISCOURSE: NAVIGATING CRITICAL DIMENSIONS, CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES, AND GLOBAL IMPACT
The Malaysian Journal of Syariah and Law (MJSL) Volume 11, Issue 2 for 2023, presents a diverse collection of sixteen articles that explore various dimensions of Syariah and Law.

The integration of forensic science fundamentals and al-qarinah towards achieving maqasid al-shari'ah
The world is calling for forensic science in proving the truth for the justice of sophisticated cases. The impact of separation between religion and science and the negligence of viewing forensic science from the maqasidic perspective left a huge gap in shariah literatures thus resulting forensic science to become exclusive and alien to Islamic law. Failure in understanding fundamentals of forensic science worsens the situation by giving negative implications towards the incompetency of Islamic law. This study aims to identify forensic science elements in Muslim scholars’ view on the admissibility of al—qarz‘nah in Islam, to analyse the relationship of forensic science elements with maqc‘lsid al—shari‘ah from its transferability through reported forensic science cases, to analyse fundamental framework of forensics in Islam, and to propose for a fundamental recommendation of forensic science as integration with al—qarinah towards achieving maqc'zsid al-sharf‘ah. This qualitative research used Grounded Theory and content analysis method to obtain research objectives. Constant comparative approach on theoretical samples and descriptive, inductive, and deductive approaches on selected primary and secondary sources of data were used in the analysis process with the assist of Atlas.ti version 7 as a software analysis tool. A total of 117 forensic science elements were found which built four key fundamentals namely; ‘forensics jurisprudence’, ‘human capital’, ‘forensic analysis’, and ‘accreditation’. The transferability interpreted from the theory towards selected thematic forensic cases proved that all four key fundamentals do exist in preserving the five essential values of human life. In achieving maqc‘lsid al—shari‘ah, ‘forensics jurisprudence’ fundamental acquires a comprehensive understanding of forensics application towards accomplishing the ma ’c‘tlc‘lt that comprises historical reviews, the terminology of fiqh forensics, the reasoning of forensics through istidldl in usulfiqh and its relationship with maxims. As for the adaptation for shariah legal purposes, ‘human capital’ fundamental highlights a holistic approach in achieving maqc'lsid al- shari‘ah through forensic science education and training as well as fulfilling the competency of experts. The ‘forensic analysis’ fundamental incorporates level of doubt in analysis, ethics, presumptive and confirmatory test, instruments, crime laboratories epistemology, and analysis held by a shariah entity as salient features to minimise Shubhah. These features contribute to the suggestion of establishing forensics laboratory for shariah legal purposes. The ‘accreditation’ fundamental reviewed six standards in forensic science; ISO 9001, MS 1900, ISO 17025, MS 2300, SAMM, and ASCLD program. Among all, only ISO 9001 is not complied with shariah principles. The combination of these five standards ensures the quality assurance of forensics application to achieve maqc'zsid al—sharf‘ah. Thus, the integration of forensic science with al—qarinah through its fundamentals is proven possible to realise maqc‘tsid al—sharf‘ah. This study suggests that the four fundamentals should be given priority and evaluation in raising the bar of forensic science in Islam
