The Effects of Cash and In-Kind Transfer by Religious Organizations on Muslim Households’ Expenditure: Indonesian Family Life Survey 2014
No full textCash and in-kind transfers are two of the instruments utilized in an endeavor to further expand the economy and solve household welfare concerns. Aside from the government social security program, religious organizations provide a few informal cash and in-kind transfers to largely disadvantaged households. The primary goal of this research is to investigate the effect of cash and in-kind transfers from religious organizations on the consumption expenditures of Muslim households. The Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2014 data is used. Using the Ordinary Least Squares method, this study discovers that Muslim households spend the cash and in-kind transfers from religious organizations on two types of household expenditure, namely personal expenditure and utility expenditure, due to the minimal disbursement. The subsidies distributed by the religious organization had a favorable impact on the consumption of Muslim households. An implication of the results is that Muslim households receiving cash and in-kind transfers from religious organizations became opportunities to smooth consumption expenditure. However, these two expenses made just a minor contribution to the overall household cost, so it is necessary to consider other potential impacts, such as savings, investment, or overall household welfare, on the fulfillment of needs that affect expenditure in Muslim households
The relationship between ilm and khabar in the work of al-Shafii
No full textThis study examines in detail the basis of al-Shafi`i's arguments for the
supremacy of oral tradition over communal legal practice. It concentrates on one
broad issue, the definition of `ilm (knowledge) and one technical issue, the problem
of authenticating a particular khabar (oral tradition or report, plural akhbar, ) and its
binding nature, especially a report of the category known as the specialists' report
(khabar al-khassa). On the first issue, this study examines the concept of knowledge
based on reports (`ilm al-khabar) because it had an important influence on al-Shafi`i.
This is followed by a detailed account of al-Shafi`i's own discussion of `ilm. It brings
out clearly that al-Shafi`i means religious law when discussing `ilm. It also shows
how knowledge of religious law can be obtained. Al-Shafi`i's approach is to restrict
the argument to knowledge of specialised and debatable points, rather than what is
generally accepted. He seeks to prove the indispensability in this area of specialists'
knowledge of reliable documentation external to the law itself. The following chapter
deals with the question of authenticating a khabar from the Prophet (a hadith), not as
purely technical question but within a polemical context in which the practical
difficulty of authenticating a khabar was used by those opposed to the intellectual
dominance of oral tradition as a reason not to use the khabar. In the final chapter al-
Shaf i's arguments with two identifiable schools of opposing thought, ahl al-kaläm
and ahl al-figh, are examined in detail. The thesis as a whole gives a significant
insight into the efficacy and durability of al-Shafi`i's arguments, not so much by
defeating his opponents' arguments but by buttressing those of the defenders and
advocates of oral tradition

BAḤR AL-MADHĪ AND THE ESTABLISHMENT MOMENTUM OF ḤADĪTH STUDIES IN NUSANTARA IN THE 20TH CENTURY
No full textThis paper intends to strengthen the view that Islam vernacularizing happened in the sharḥ of ḥadīth that provided new distinctions in the meaning of the Prophet’s Ḥadīths. Baḥr al-Madhī Syarah Bagi Mukhtaṣar Saḥīḥ al-Tirmidhī written by Muhammad Idris al-Marbawi (1896-1989) provided quite copious data on this matter. Instead of obscuring the Prophet’s ḥadīths, the subjectivity, and locality of al-Marbawi as a Nusantara Muslim scholar enriches the contextualization of the meaning of ḥadīth so that the non-Arab communities can understand the ḥadīths well. The abundant textual data in Baḥr al-Madhī also confirmed that the study of Nusantara ḥadīths had been established in the 19th and 20th centuries AD. This paper strengthened Oman Fathurrahman’s thesis which showed that the roots of the Nusantara ḥadīths writing tradition have existed since the 17th century. On the other hand, this paper refuted several academics’ opinions such as Brown (1966) and Azra (1997) who said that the study of ḥadīths was stagnant
Genealogi Semiotis Term Sunah Dan Bidah: Dari Syariat Hingga Ideo-Politis
No full textThis paper wants to emphasize that the ongoing debate around the term Sunnah and Bid’ah today is ideological, even political dissension. They two no longer reflect the pattern or Islamic syariah knot. Since it was mentioned by the Prophet Muhammad in his traditions, due to external encouragement and the dynamics of the problem of Muslims, this two terms have experienced an acute swelling of meaning. Based on that, through this paper I will try to track and objectify the terms of the Sunnah and Bid’ah which are already blurred and full of dust. By returning to the beginning of its appearance in the hadith, we can find the core of the real meaning of the concept of Sunnah and Bid’ah as well as the context and purpose contained in it before it is torn apart by many factors in the history of Muslim civilization

Analysis of Zakat Management Differences in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam: Challenges and Solutions
No full textThis article analyzes the differences in zakat management in Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam, as well as the challenges faced and the solutions offered. Indonesia, with the largest Muslim population in the world, has a zakat system managed by the National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) and private zakat institutions. On the other hand, Brunei Darussalam, as a country that comprehensively implements Islamic law, manages zakat through centralized government institutions. The main differences lie in the organizational structure, collection mechanisms, distribution, and accountability of zakat. The main challenges in Indonesia include the lack of public awareness, transparency, and coordination among zakat institutions. In Brunei, the challenges are more focused on adjusting the zakat system to economic and social changes. This article offers solutions to address these challenges, such as increasing zakat literacy, strengthening information technology for transparency, and enhancing cooperation between the government and private institutions in Indonesia. For Brunei, the solutions include adjusting zakat policies to be responsive to economic dynamics and increasing public participation in the zakat system. This research is expected to provide insights for developing more effective zakat management in both countries, as well as contribute to global zakat literatur
