THE CONTROVERSY OF ALCOHOL REGULATION IN YOGYAKARTA: A STUDY OF MAQĀṢID AL-SHARĪʿAH AND QAWĀʿID FIQHIYYAH
Keywords:
Islamic Criminal Law, Liquor, Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah, Qawāʿid FiqhiyyahAbstract
This study examines the dynamics of liquor control in Yogyakarta by highlighting two main regulations, namely Yogyakarta Municipal Regulation Number 7 of 1953 and DIY Regional Regulation Number 12 of 2015, from the perspective of Islamic criminal law. The main focus of the study is how the two regulations are understood through the principles of qawāʿid fiqhiyyah and the concept of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. The 1953 Regional Regulation, which legalized the sale of liquor through a licensing and taxation system, is seen as inconsistent with the principle of preventing harm and has the potential to legitimize practices that damage the mind, soul, and morals of society. In contrast, the 2015 Regional Regulation is more relevant because it emphasizes the supervision, control, and prohibition of mixed liquor that clearly threatens the safety of life. The analysis shows that the new regulation is more aligned with the objectives of sharia in protecting the five main aspects of life: religion, soul, mind, descendants, and property. Thus, this research emphasizes the need for regional policies that are not only based on formal legality, but also based on the principle of integral public welfare.
