Abstract

This study examines the integration of maqasid al-syariah in the Indonesian criminal law system through the theological perspective of Ibn 'Asyur, particularly in relation to qiṣāṣ and theft. The background to this study is the challenge of reconciling Islamic values with the 2023 Criminal Code amid a diverse society. Using a normative method supplemented by qualitative, theological, and comparative analysis—drawing on the works of Ibn 'Asyur, regulations, and crime data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the Indonesian National Police (Polri)—this study finds that the application of maqasid in criminal law is still incomplete. Nevertheless, the 2023 Criminal Code begins to provide space for a restorative approach that is in line with the principles of protecting life (hifz al-nafs) and property (hifz al-mal). Ibn 'Asyur's thinking, which emphasizes universality, flexibility, and joint ijtihad, is an important foundation for building a more humane, inclusive, and easily applicable legal model. These findings open up space for discussion on national legal reform and provide concrete recommendations for policymakers in creating a criminal justice system that is fair, responsive, and in line with the diverse character of Indonesian society.
