Abstract

This article will discuss the position and application of Islamic family law in countries with Muslim minority populations, particularly in Singapore. In every Muslim community in the world, no one denies the existence of Islamic law with its universal character of application. The universality of the application of Islamic law requires the submission of all Muslims to the teachings of Islam, will not see the time and place not to implement its provisions, and also requires the existence of universal values contained in branch laws that may differ from one place to another. That is why Muslims in Islamic countries and countries where the majority of the population is Muslim have relatively no problems with the application of Islamic law in everyday life because Islam upholds religious tolerance. The above reality will undoubtedly be different if Islamic law develops among Muslims, who are a minority in secular countries, namely countries with a government system that separates religion as a private matter.

Abstract

Contemporary ijtihad is required in the formulation of new formulas, such as legal protection of the rights of children outside marriage whose biological father is known. Reformulation of Jurisprudence as an analysis of Islamic law must be able to answer socio-cultural problems in the modern era, such as proof of the use of DNA as genealogy. An adaptive formulation of Jurisprudence on contemporary cases by combining science and Maqaṣid al-Shari'ah is analyzed in this article. The resolution of Islamic law by referring to the opinions of the Four Madhhabs of Jurisprudence needs to be approached or juxtaposed with science. A correct understanding of the values contained in the sharia and the application of Maqaṣid al-Shari'ah are indispensable in contemporary ijtihad so that the face of Jurisprudence can dialect with the times. So that the determination of lineage by DNA can be used as a legal reference that is adaptive to science and in accordance with the great objectives of Maqaṣid al-Shari'ah.
