ABSTRACT:
The thoughts of Mohammad Hashim Kamali (Kamali) on the restoration of ḥudūd have led to a fundamental change in the formulation of ḥudūd which is different from the formulation of the previous jurists. The formulation triggers a discussion on what the reasons and arguments are behind it. The formulation conceptually also indicates that there are similarities in ideas with criminal law reform in Indonesia. This dissertation aims to answer three research problems. First, why is the thought of reforming the Islamic criminal law of Kamali important for the criminal law reform in Indonesia? Second, what is the background and istimbāt al-aḥkām of the thought of reforming the Islamic criminal law of Kamali? Third, how is the relevance of the thought of reforming the Islamic criminal law of Kamali to the criminal law reform in Indonesia? This research belongs to the type of library research and is qualitative research. The approaches used are uṣūl al-fiqh, hermeneutics, and the sociology of knowledge. The data were collected using the documentation study method, and analyzed using critical discourse analysis, descriptive analysis, and comparative analysis.
The findings of this study are; first, Kamali's main thoughts on reforming Islamic criminal law include two things, namely the restoration of jarīmah ḥudūd and harmonization of syari'ah. Second, the formulation of Kamali's ḥudūd restoration was motivated by the response to the practice of applying Islamic criminal law in various Muslim countries which had not been maximized due to substantive and political reasons. Methodologically, the construction of Kamali’s ḥudūd is formulated with an integrative theory of maṣlaḥat through the maqāṣid al-syarī'ah approach. Third, several articles in the RKUHP that specifically have contextual narratives with Kamali's thoughts, are: articles 54 paragraphs (1) and (2), 191-196, 306, 417-420, and 598-616.
