A RECONSTRUCTION OF PREMEDITATED MURDER IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF ISLAMIC CRIMINAL LAW AND JUDICIAL DECISIONS
Keywords:
Premeditated Murder, Qatl al-Ghīlah, Islamic Criminal Law, Court Decision, Value IntegrationAbstract
Premeditated murder is a criminal offense that carries severe legal consequences, including the possibility of capital punishment. In the context of Indonesian judiciary practice, the legal construction of the element of planning constitutes a crucial point in the process of proof. This study aims to examine premeditated murder as reflected in the District Court Decision of Boyolali No. 118/Pid.B/2024/PN Byl and to analyze the relevance of the concept of qatl al-ghīlah in Islamic criminal law in relation to the case. The research employs a normative juridical method with a comparative legal approach. The findings indicate that the element of planning was meticulously established by the judge, aligning with the qatl al-ghīlah doctrine which emphasizes deceit and concealed malicious intent. The study also reveals differences in sanctions between the Indonesian Penal Code—which is determinative in nature—and Islamic criminal law, which incorporates restorative justice and the rights of victims. These findings underscore the urgency of integrating Islamic criminal law values into the national legal system to enrich the ethical and spiritual dimensions of criminal justice. The study recommends a policy reformulation based on maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah to realize a fair, proportional, and context-sensitive legal framework.
