Should Jinayah Training be Held for Religious Court Judges?

Jakarta l Badilag.net

The title is a question proposed in Forum Pembaca Badilag.net, on Thursday (05/01/2012), as a simple poll to grasp the opinions from the Religious Court people.

Badilag needs to catch the opinion, because jinayah training so far is almost nothing in comparison with other trainings, such as Islamic economics, mediation, and so on.

Broadly speaking, there were two opinions arose. A small part of the respondents considered the training would be less necessary, while the majority supported the idea for training on jinayah, either in substantive or in formal law.

For Mazharuddin, a Religious Court officer in North Sumatera, the training is less important. He argued that jinayah as a theory has been extensively studied in Faculty of Sharia in all Islamic universities around the country, despite the fact that as a practical framework it is still marginalized. Mazharuddin even questioned if there would be a discourse on jinayah training, what the urgency seemed to be right now.
