Environmental Management Based on Islamic Sharia and Customary Law in Aceh
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: This paper examines how Islamic and customary laws govern environmental management in Aceh using a qualitative normative juridical approach. Data were collected from various literature and documents related to the topic and analyzed through constitutional, historical, and Islamic frameworks. The findings reveal an intrinsic connection between Islamic Shari'a and Aceh Customary Law, as illustrated by the hadith "Adat ngon hukom lagee zat ngon sifeut," indicating that all customary environmental management aligns with Islamic principles. For example, a hadith states that cutting down a sidr tree results in severe consequences, and Aceh's customary law prohibits the felling of trees such as tualang, kemuning, and ketapang without permission from the Keujreun. Additionally, livestock owners must ensure their animals are contained and not allowed to graze near sensitive areas like springs. Under Islamic Law, all humans possess the legal status of muhtaram, necessitating the protection of their rights and the rights of all living and non-living entities.
