| Summary: | The present study focuses on manuscript LOr 5626 from the archives of the Qadi of the Sultanate of Bantěn (1527-1813), in Indonesia. This codex is preserved in the Leiden University library, which acquired it from C. Snouck Hurgronje. It consists of the ‘legal cases’ brought before the Kiyahi Pěqih Najmuddin, the Islamic judge in Bantěn, by the inhabitants. The register, which covers the period from 1754 to 1756, is the oldest ‘sijill’ (court record) in Southeast Asia, and it contains cases on marriage, divorce, inheritance, litigation, private transactions, loans, debts, and violence. The manuscript demonstrates the judicial practice exercised by the qadi of Banten and reveals important findings on the relationship between Islamic legal theory and practice This essay hopefully will contribute to Islamic legal history in general both by providing textual evidence that the qadi record (sijill) existed in Southeast Asia during the eighteenth century and by presenting its contents. Artikel ini mengkaji naskah LOr 5626 dari Arsip Kadi Kesultanan Banten (1527-1813), di Indonesia. Manuskrip yang diterima dari C. Snouck Hurgronje ini tersimpan di Perpustakaan Universitas Leiden. Naskah itu berisi daftar catatan “kasus-kasus hukum” yang diajukan oleh penduduk Banten ke hadapan Kiyahi Pěqih Najmuddin, gelar kadi di Kesultanan Banten. Catatan yang meliputi periode dari 1754 sampai 1756 adalah catatan pengadilan (sijill) tertua di Asia Tenggara. Daftar catatan kadi itu meliputi kasus-kasus tentang pernikahan, perceraian, warisan, perselisihan, jual-beli, utang-piutang, dan kekerasan. Naskah tersebut memperlihatkan praktik pengadilan yang dilakukan oleh Kadi Banten dan menunjukkan temuan penting mengenai hubungan antara teori hukum Islam (fikih) dan penerapannya. Artikel ini diharapkan memberikan sumbangsih bagi kajian sejarah hukum Islam dengan menyediakan bukti tekstual bahwa catatan hukum kadi itu telah ada di Asia Tenggara pada abad ke-18 dengan juga memaparkan isi catatan tersebut. |
