Focus and Scope

At-Tatbiq : Jurnal Ahwal al-Syakhshiyyah  is a peer-reviewed scholarly publication committed to the advancement of Islamic Family law.

  • Legal Philosophy: Theoretical discussions on the concept of justice, ethics, and morality within Islamic legal thought.
  • Islamic Family Law: Issues involving marriage, divorce, child custody, and inheritance (particularly comparing traditional views with contemporary reforms).

  • Public and Constitutional Law (Siyasah Shar'iyyah): The relationship between the state, governance, and religious law.
  • Legal Pluralism: How Islamic law operates within secular legal systems (e.g., Islamic family law in Western or Southeast Asian courts).
