CONSTITUTIONALIZATION OF RELIGION IN REVIEW OF MAQÂSHID SHARΑAH: Statutory Study of Shariaism in the City of Langsa, Aceh

Abstract

Abstract: This article aims to analyze two regulations Langsa City Qanun Number 3 of 2016 concerning the implementation of entertainment in Langsa City and Langsa Mayor’s Regulation Number 40 of 2020 concerning Guidelines for Granting Permits to Organize Entertainment in Langsa City based on a sharia maqâshid review. The study of the two regulations uses Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutics with the technique of constitutional distinction, appropriation into social contexts, and interpretation in the perspective of maqâshid al-sharî‘ah by al-Syatibi. The research findings show that there are still many points of existing regulations that are not in accordance with several dimensions of maqâshid al-sharî‘ah. The infiltration of sacred religion into a technical system that is profane and its interpretation by certain groups is not in accordance with maqâshid al-sharî‘ah in the dimension of religious benefit. The regulation of Shari’a causes religion to regulate private spheres such as religion and the way of dress, contrary to the dimension of maintaining common sense. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis dua regulasi di Kota Langsa, Aceh, yakni Qanun Kota Langsa Nomor 3 Tahun 2016 Tentang Penyelenggaraan Hiburan di Kota Langsa dan Peraturan Walikota Langsa Nomor 40 Tahun 2020 tentang Pedoman Pemberian Izin Penyelenggaraan Hiburan di Kota Langsa berdasarkan tinjauan maqâshid al-sharî‘ah. Kajian atas kedua regulasi itu menggunakan hermeneutika Paul Ricoeur dengan teknik distingsi konstitusi, apropriasi ke dalam konteks sosial dan interpretasi dalam perspektif maqâshid al-sharî‘ah. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masih banyak poin peraturan yang ada belum sesuai dengan beberapa dimensi maqâshid al-sharî‘ah. Infiltrasi agama yang sakral ke dalam sebuah sistem teknis yang bersifat profan dan penafsirannya oleh kelompok tertentu, kurang sesuai dengan maqâshid al-sharî‘ah pada dimensi kemaslahatan agama. Regulasi syariatisme itu menyebabkan agama mengatur ranah privat seperti agama dan cara berpakaian, bertentangan dengan dimensi menjaga akal sehat.
