Description
Summary:Hisbah is the most important institution in a society and nation.Enforcement parties are those who are directly involved in executing this. Incarrying out their duties, they bear heavy responsibility because it involvesthe rights of Allah (SWT) and the rights of human. Hisbah implies theimplementation of al-amr bi-l-maʿrūf (command the good) when it is clear thatit is abandoned, and wa-n-nahy ʿani-l-munkar (prevention of the bad) when itis clear that it is done. This study is based on the concept of Hisbah in SharīʿahLaw which is of a general and widespread aspect of enjoining good andpreventing evil. Literature reviews and library searches have been conductedintensively to clarify the principles of hisbah. Additionally, descriptiveand content analysis of textual content was done on the provisions of lawsand regulations as well as guidelines on the prevention of sharīʿah crimeparameters in Malaysia. In general, our country has implemented the conceptof hisbah in its own form without the branding of an institution specifically as"the institution of hisbah". The roles and functions of hisbah are given to theSharīʿah Enforcement Division, Islamic Religious Department in the states.
