Beyond Formalism: Tracing the Organic Penetration of Fiqh Muamalah into the Indonesian Legal Architecture

Husni Husni, Hidayatina Hidayatina, Miftahul Khairat

Abstract


This article examines the dynamics of the penetration of fiqh muamalah (Islamic economic jurisprudence) into the Indonesian national legal system, moving beyond a purely doctrinal approach. Utilizing Lawrence M. Friedman’s sociological framework of law, this study analyzes how muamalah values operate organically through three legal system elements: culture, structure, and substance. The research findings indicate that the organic penetration of fiqh muamalah into the Indonesian legal system is not merely an administrative legalization process; rather, it constitutes a form of state recognition of the living law already deeply established within the public consciousness. However, this formalization process generates a paradox of formalism that risks distorting the ethical essence of muamalah into mere procedural rituals. This article asserts that meaningful integration requires ethical integrity that surpasses administrative compliance, wherein substantive justice and human dignity must remain the primary objectives amidst economic modernity.

Keywords
