Risalah Adha Harahap — 2024-10-01

In this study, the state administrativ Court's (PTUN) Decision Number 38/G/2023/PTUN.MDN is analyzed which is related to the dismissal of the Head of the Deli Serdang Health Office by the Regent. The main issue raised is the legality of the dismissal from the perspective of administrative law and the principles of siy?sah qa?h?’iyyah. This research employs a library research method aimed at collecting and analyzing data from various literature sources, including books, journals, legislation, and relevant court decisions. The research methodology consists of several main approaches, namely normative juridical studies, legislative approach, conceptual approach, and case approach. The key findings indicate that although the Regent has the authority to impose disciplinary sanctions, the dismissal decision did not meet the proper procedural standards. The court found that the decision was procedurally flawed and unsupported by sufficient evidence. Additionally, the Regent was deemed unjust for not providing adequate explanation regarding the alleged violations committed by the Plaintiff and appeared to favor other officials involved in similar violations. The conclusion of this research emphasizes the importance of justice, transparency, and adherence to legal procedures in administrative decision-making. The PTUN ruled in favor of the Plaintiff, annulled the Regent's decision, and reinstated the Plaintiff to their previous position. This ruling reflects the principles of accountability and justice in public service, which must be upheld in governance.

This research examines how the amendments introduced by Law No. 1 of 2023 have integrated restorative justice practices into Indonesia's criminal justice system.

The findings suggest that to address these challenges, there is a need to strengthen legislation, provide training for law enforcement, and increase public awareness about restorative justice.

Livia Nanda Chairunnisa Nasution — 2024-10-31

One of the uses of technology in the video game industry has led to a new reality: playing video games can now become a profession with significant income. E-Sports (Electronic Sports) is a form of competitive video gaming that demands high skill and teamwork to achieve victory. This profession has grown in popularity as its income often far exceeds the regional minimum wage in various cities. This situation raises questions about the obligation of zakat for e-sports players, considering that in Islam, zakat is required for professions whose income reaches the nisab or minimum threshold. Zakat plays a crucial role in promoting wealth distribution and community welfare. However, applying zakat to modern professions such as e-sports requires adjustments in terms of nisab, rate, and payment timing, which can be determined through the method of qiyas (analogy). This study aims to examine the concept of the nisab for professional zakat in e-sports from a qiyas perspective. The research uses a normative approach with a conceptual approach, where data analysis is conducted through literature review by studying relevant theories from related literature. The analysis shows that income from the e-sports profession is subject to zakat, using the analogy of gold zakat, with a nisab value of 85 grams of gold and a zakat rate of 2.5%.
