Abstract

This article discusses the anomaly of democratic political configuration relation that produces conservative zakat law product in Law Number 23 Year 2011 on Zakat Management. Zakat law has experienced the positivation of Islamic law through what is called the legislative process in the House of Representatives. Through its stipulation, it actually led to rejection from Muslim civil society groups. This rejection is an indication that the law is not responsive to civil society. This research is normative juridical with a political approach to law that places legislation as a political product. Edward W. Soja’s spatial justice theory is used to analyze this issue. The findings of this research are, first, the anomaly of political configuration relations towards zakat law products occurs because of the still entrenched character of executive dominance in making zakat law in the DPR. Second, to produce a responsive law, it must provide space for spatial justice through the participation of Islamic civil society in making zakat law.

Abstract

Artikel ini mendiskusikan tentang anomali relasi konfigurasi politik demokratis menghasilkan produk hukum zakat konservatif pada Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2011 tentang Pengelolaan Zakat. Hukum zakat telah mengalami positivisasi hukum Islam melalui apa yang dinamakan proses legislasi di DPR. Melalui penetapannya justru berujung penolakan dari kelompok masyarakat sipil Muslim. Penolakan ini menjadi indikasi bahwa undang-undang tersebut tidak responsif terhadap masyarakat sipil. Penelitian ini adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan politik hukum yang menempatkan peraturan perundang-undangan sebagai produk politik. Teori keadilan spasial (spatial justice) dari Edward W. Soja dipakai untuk menganalisis persoalan ini. Temuan penelitian ini, pertama, anomali relasi konfigurasi politik terhadap produk hukum
zakat terjadi karena masih bercokolnya karakter dominasi eksekutif dalam pembuatan hukum zakat di DPR. Kedua, untuk menghasilkan Undang-Undang yang responsif harus memberikan ruang keadilan spasial melalui partisipasi masyarakat sipil Islam dalam pembuatan hukum zakat.
