Main Article Content
Abstract
This research focuses on the adaptation of Islamic law to local wisdom in Indonesia as well as the role of the state in regulating regulations that are responsive to social dynamics and globalization. The purpose of the study is to identify the integration mechanism between sharia principles and cultural traditions, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of regulations implemented by state institutions such as the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the Supreme Court, and the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). The research method used is an analytical descriptive approach by integrating qualitative data from in-depth interviews, field observations, and literature studies, as well as quantitative data through surveys of the community. The results of the study show that the adaptation of Islamic law in Indonesia takes place dynamically, where traditional values such as deliberation and customary practices are combined with sharia principles. The implementation of state regulations in the fields of family law, sharia economics, and halal certification has made a significant contribution in maintaining a balance between modernity and local wisdom. However, there are challenges in terms of transparency and policy socialization that require improvement. The implications of this study emphasize the need to increase public participation and strengthen educational mechanisms for the community to support the sustainability and relevance of Islamic law in the midst of changing times. These findings are expected to be the basis for policy recommendations that are more inclusive and applicable in managing cultural plurality in Indonesia.
