Asy-Syir‘ah: Jurnal Ilmu Syari‘ah dan Hukum is committed to advancing interdisciplinary and critical research on Islamic legal thought within the context of modern societies. Distinct from approaches that are exclusively normative or doctrinal, this journal prioritizes the epistemological and sociopolitical dimensions of Islamic legal knowledge, examining the interplay among Sharia, state authority, social transformation, and contemporary juridical discourse.
The journal aims to serve as a platform for rethinking Islamic legal thought—not merely as a collection of religious norms but as a dynamic intellectual and juridical enterprise that shapes the legal frameworks of contemporary society. In this regard, Asy-Syir‘ah strives to bridge theoretical reflections with empirical realities, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue in the study of Islamic law and legal pluralism.
