About the Journal

The Indonesian Journal of Islamic Law (IJIL) (P-ISSN: 3089-5839, E-ISSN: 2615-7543) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal published biannually in June and December by the Postgraduate Programme of Universitas Islam Negeri Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember, Indonesia. Since its first issue in 2018, IJIL has positioned itself as a platform for advancing the study of Islamic law through socio-legal innovation and transformative ijtihad, combining rigorous normative analysis with empirical socio-legal research.

IJIL is committed to bridging classical traditions of Islamic jurisprudence with the challenges of contemporary Muslim societies, particularly in Southeast Asia and the Global South. Its thematic coverage includes Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh and uṣūl al-fiqh), maqāṣid al-sharīʿah and legal reform, fatwa studies and digital jurisprudence, Islamic family law and gender justice, Islamic judicial practices and religious courts, legal pluralism, Islamic law and politics, human rights, law in the modern Muslim world, as well as Islamic economic law, ethical finance, and philanthropy. By fostering this broad yet integrated approach, IJIL deepens scholarly understanding of Islamic law as both a normative tradition and a lived socio-legal reality.

Since its inception, IJIL has published articles from distinguished scholars across five continents and more than thirty countries, reflecting its commitment to international dialogue and academic diversity. Upholding a rigorous double-blind peer review system and adhering to the highest standards of publication ethics, IJIL provides a fair and timely review process, with the first decision typically delivered within 30 days of submission.

Currently, the IJIL is indexed in the S3 level of the Science and Technology Index (SINTA) by ARJUNA —the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology Indonesia; Garuda by the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud RI); Moraref by the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag RI); and CrossRef. The IJIL is actively preparing for inclusion in DOAJ, Scopus, and the Web of Science (WoS) to further expand its global visibility. The citation performance of IJIL can be traced through Google Scholar Citations, Dimensions Metrics, Citedness in Scopus (Elsevier), and Citedness in WoS (Thomson Reuters). By bringing together scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, the journal seeks not only to document but also to shape the ongoing transformation of Islamic law in a rapidly changing world.
