Abstract:

Morality functions as a mirror and reflects the personality of an individual. Good morals are usually wreathed with faith and devotion to God. Thus, the inner thoughts and moral character of the Muslims should be based on religious beliefs across a wider domain in line with the philosophy of ad-din in Islam. The demands of protecting the blood lineages are strongly recommended in the knowledge discipline of Maqasid al-Syariah. For the sake of preserving the maqasid syariah framework and principles, moral misconducts are coded and stated clearly in the state criminal enactment in Malaysia such as close proximity, premarital sex, indecent behavior in public, and many more. Partially structured interviews are carried out in order to obtain data and see the extent of the data obtained through content analysis is accurate with the current reality. This research is able to identify the extent of the existing provisions related to morality that fulfill the Maqasid Syariah requirements. The findings obtained help towards improving the moral-related provision in the existing Sharia Criminal Enactment and the enforcement of the sharia criminal laws that are in line with the demands of preserving the Maqasid Syariah.
