Eksistensi Perda Syariah sebagai Manifestasi Hukum Islam dalam Sistem Hukum Nasional

Abstract

This study examines the existence of Sharia-inspired Regional Regulations (Perda Syariah) as a manifestation of Islamic law within Indonesia’s national legal system. The emergence of these regulations has increased significantly since the reform era and the implementation of regional autonomy, which granted local governments broader authority to formulate regulations based on local needs and sociocultural values. This research employs a normative-juridical approach combined with descriptive, critical, and transformative analyses to evaluate the legality, legitimacy, and relevance of Perda Syariah within the framework of the Pancasila rule of law. The findings indicate that Perda Syariah is rooted in strong historical and sociological foundations, yet poses normative concerns, including potential discrimination, regulatory disharmony, and the risk of religious politicization at the local level. This study proposes a transformative framework that enables Perda Syariah to reflect religious moral values while remaining aligned with constitutional principles, non-discrimination, and respect for pluralism. Such reform is essential to ensure that Perda Syariah contributes constructively to Indonesia’s legal development without generating social tension or normative conflict.
