“…Research by Suma et al found that the execution of law violators strengthened the implementation of Islamic law in Aceh. 67 Likewise, Manan's findings, the application of Islamic law in West Aceh has been going well, although there are still no Islamic behaviours. 68 Thus, Hascall's research question "should qisas be considered a form of restorative justice?"…”

Contextualizing the justice dimension in the law of qiṣāṣ has a humanitarian basis, so it needs to be understood under the context and development of current law. This endeavor is necessary to have a more thorough and contextual understanding of the esoteric meaning of qiṣāṣ legal justice. This article examines the contextualization of the meaning of justice in the construction of qiṣāṣ law to further elaborate on its human values, using a normative approach with philosophical analysis. This study data consisted of primary and secondary data. Based on the study analysis, it can be concluded in three points. First, the meaning of justice in Islamic law is oriented to realizing human benefit based on humanity and religious values. Justice in recompense punishment is found in the guarantee of life from God as the Lawgiver. Second, the implementation of qiṣāṣ punishment always prioritizes respect for the perpetrators' and victims' rights. This is a form of respect for human values. Third, in terms of applying punishment, the construction of qiṣāṣ law allows flexibility by contextualizing the meaning of justice to be adapted and applied in society.

“…This law was enacted at the end of the New Order government's tenure. The law was drafted to gain the sympathy of the Acehnese people and religious leaders, with the goal of quelling the desires for independence, as pursued by separatist groups like GAM (Suma et al, 2020). In general, this law outlines the special status of Aceh and grants special rights to implement Islamic Sharia, which is further elaborated in regional regulations (Article 4, Paragraph 1).…”

Aceh is the only region in Indonesia granted special rights to implement Islamic law within its territory, as stipulated in Law No. 44 of 1999 regarding the administration of special autonomy in the Aceh Special Region. This uniqueness can be seen as a political solution to the long-standing conflict in Aceh. Several institutions serving as enforcers of Islamic law were established to support the implementation of local regulations on Islamic law, including the Sharia Court, the Sharia Office, and the Wilayatul Hisbah (WH). Additionally, the Aceh regional government collaborates with the police and the prosecutor's office, where they act as investigators, interrogators, and public prosecutors in the implementation of Islamic law. This research examines the implementation of the Qanun Jinayat in Aceh. The research findings indicate that the implementation of Islamic law in Aceh faces several challenges. Firstly, the Wilayatul Hizbah (WH) faces issues related to their authority, as according to Sharia rules, their role is limited to supervision, while investigation falls under the jurisdiction of the police. In practice, the police often disregard Islamic law in Aceh, mainly due to several provisions conflicting with national laws. Consequently, many cases of Sharia violations end with reconciliation processes within the police and do not proceed to court prosecutions. Secondly, the execution process is often lengthy, and in many cases, execution is neglected. The principles of equality before the law and legal certainty have not yet become primary principles in the application of Islamic law in Aceh.

This study examines zakat (obligatory charity) as a tax deduction in Aceh. Currently, the existing legal rule stipulates that zakat paid by muzakkī (zakat payers) to the National Zakat Board (BAZNAS) and Zakat Official Institution (LAZ) is deducted from taxable income. However, this rule has not been applied since there is no Government Regulation. This empirical legal study used a statutory approach, analyzing the point of view of legal politics theory. This study concludes that the State and Islamic Law in Aceh are closely related to the political context of Indonesian law. The government regulations from the Old Order to the Reform Era related to Islamic Law or Muslims have been greatly influenced by political configurations. When the configuration is democratic, the legal character embraces democratic values and vice versa. As a result, the legal regulations regarding zakat have not yet been enforced due to the strong political configuration. However, referring to the arguments and logic of legal politics that the government is democratic towards the aspirations in Aceh, the Governmental Regulation Draft/Rancangan Peraturan Pemerintah (RPP) for Zakat as Tax Deduction will strengthen the previous legal rule, stipulating zakat as a tax deduction factor. The unification of zakat and taxes in one legal instrument by the government, which has political and structural authority, will be able to realize justice and economic and social welfare of the community as the primary goal of zakat. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji zakat sebagai faktor pengurang pajak di Aceh. Berdasarkan aturan hukum yang ada bahwa zakat yang dibayarkan oleh muzaki kepada BAZNAS atau LAZ dikurangkan dari penghasilan kena pajak. Namun sampai saat ini aturan ini belum teraplikasi karena belum ada Peraturan Pemerintah. Kajian ini merupakan studi hukum empiris dengan menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan, dianalisis dari sudut teori politik hukum. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa hubungan antara agama, negara, dan hukum Islam di Aceh memiliki kaitan yang erat dengan konteks politik hukum Indonesia secara umum. Aturan pemerintah yang terkait dengan hukum Islam atau umat Islam sejak masa orde lama bahkan sampai reformasi dipengaruhi oleh konfigurasi politik, jika konfigurasinya demokratis maka karakter hukumnya juga demokratis begitu juga sebaliknya. Karena itu, aturan hukum tentang zakat tersebut sampai saat ini masih belum dapat diberlakukan karena kuatnya konfigurasi politik. Mengacu pada argumen dan logika politik hukum, pemerintah bersikap demokratis terhadap aspirasi di Aceh dengan membuat Rancangan Peraturan Pemerintah (RPP) tentang Zakat sebagai Pengurangan Pajak yang akan menguatkan aturan hukum sebelumnya, yaitu zakat sebagai faktor pengurang pajak. Penyatuan zakat dan pajak dalam satu instrumen hukum oleh pemerintah yang memiliki kewenangan politik dan struktural akan dapat mewujudkan keadilan dan kesejahteraan ekonomi dan sosial masyarakat sebagai tujuan utama zakat.
