Aims

Asy-Syir‘ah: Jurnal Ilmu Syari’ah dan Hukum is an international, peer-reviewed publication dedicated to fostering critical and scholarly discourse on Sharia as a living legal tradition within evolving legal systems and socio-legal contexts. The journal aims to contribute to the development of Islamic legal thought by examining how Sharia interacts with contemporary legal frameworks in both Muslim-majority and minority settings. Emphasizing theoretical rigor and empirical inquiry, it promotes interdisciplinary research at the intersection of Islamic law, legal pluralism, and transnational legal contexts.

 

Scope

The journal welcomes original and critical research articles employing comparative, socio-legal, and empirical approaches to the study of Sharia. Topics of interest encompass, but are not limited to, the following areas:

1. The development and transformation of Islamic legal thought.
2. Sharia and legal pluralism in contemporary societies.
3. Sharia in plural and transnational legal contexts, including cross-border legal interactions.
4. Sharia, governance, and legal regulation in socio-political contexts.
5. Family law, economic law, criminal law, and environmental law as sites of Sharia-based legal reasoning and regulation.
6. Digital technology, cyber law, and emerging legal issues in Sharia studies.

Contributions are expected to examine how Sharia norms are interpreted, negotiated, and implemented within plural legal systems, including Muslim-majority and minority contexts at national and transnational levels.
