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 (June and December) by the Postgraduate Programme of Universitas Islam Negeri Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq (UIN KHAS) Jember, Indonesia. Established in 2018, the IJIL is dedicated to publishing original, high-quality research on Islamic law as a discursive and institutional phenomenon, with particular attention to ijtihād-based legal issues and perspectives from the Global South. The journal seeks to advance scholarly understanding of how Islamic law is interpreted, applied, contested, and reformed within social, political, and legal institutions—especially in Southeast Asia and other Global South contexts—while contributing to international debates on Islamic law, legal pluralism, and legal change.
The IJIL welcomes contributions from scholars and practitioners employing socio-legal, qualitative, comparative, and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of Islamic law. Its scope includes, but is not limited to, the following areas: Islamic Law and Socio-Legal Transformation; Judicial Institutions, Governance, and Legal Authority; Family Law, Gender, and Social Justice; Islamic Legal Thought, Uṣūl al-Fiqh, and Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah; Global South, Postcolonial, and Decolonial Approaches to Islamic Law; Digital Society, Technology, and Contemporary Fatwa Practices; Islamic Law, Public Ethics, and Economic Governance.
Since its inception, IJIL has published contributions from scholars across more than thirty countries and five continents, reflecting its commitment to international dialogue, intellectual diversity, and comparative scholarship. All submissions undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process in accordance with international publication ethics. The journal strives to maintain an efficient editorial workflow, with an initial editorial decision typically issued within approximately 30 days of submission.
Currently, IJIL is nationally accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology of Indonesia and is indexed in internationally accessible scholarly databases. Its articles have been cited by journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, indicating growing international scholarly engagement. Citation metrics are trackable through Google Scholar and Dimensions.
