Aims
AHKAM: Jurnal Hukum Islam dan Humaniora aims to advance rigorous, peer-reviewed scholarship in two complementary domains—Islamic law and the humanities—while encouraging interdisciplinary inquiry connecting law, society, and values. The journal prioritizes manuscripts that offer original arguments, sound methodology, whether doctrinal, socio-legal, comparative, historical, or interpretive, and clear contribution to contemporary legal and ethical debates.
• Islamic Law: strengthen debates on fiqh and contemporary Islamic legal issues, uṣūl al-fiqh, fatwa studies, maqāṣid approaches, and Islamic legal thought in changing societies.
• Humanities: enrich scholarship on ethics, philosophy, history, cultural and religious studies, and interpretive traditions that illuminate law as a value-based human practice.
• Law, Society, and Values: encourage analyses of human rights, legal policy, governance, public ethics, and socio-legal perspectives grounded in credible sources.
• Research Integrity: promote transparent argumentation, responsible citation, and ethical handling of data, texts, and participants where applicable.
Submissions should clearly state the research problem, report methods transparently where applicable, and articulate a well-defined contribution grounded in relevant scholarship and ethical standards.
Scope
AHKAM welcomes manuscripts in two primary streams—Islamic law and the humanities—as well as interdisciplinary studies that connect normative reasoning with historical, ethical, and socio-cultural analysis. Submissions may employ doctrinal or normative, comparative, socio-legal, historical, philosophical, or textual approaches, provided the argument is analytically defensible.
• Islamic law topics: contemporary and comparative fiqh, uṣūl al-fiqh, maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, fatwa and judicial studies, family law, economic law, criminal law, and Islamic legal reform.
• Humanities topics: ethics and moral philosophy, intellectual and social history, religious studies, cultural analysis, and interpretive traditions related to law, authority, and values.
• Law and society: human rights, legal policy and governance, legal ethics, access to justice, socio-legal studies, and interdisciplinary analyses connecting law, institutions, and social change.
• Formats: doctrinal or normative research, socio-legal studies, comparative analyses, conceptual or theoretical papers, and systematic or critical reviews with clear methods.
Priority is given to manuscripts with strong theoretical framing, careful use of sources, transparent analytical steps, and conclusions that are logically derived from the argument or evidence.
