السرقة في المساجد في ضوء الشريعة والقانون البروناوي

Abstract

This study examines the crime of theft in mosques from the perspectives of Sharia law and Brunei law. Theft in mosques not only involves a violation of religious law but also breaches national law. This study employs a comparative methodology, analyzing various legal documents, including the Quran, Hadith, fiqh books, the Brunei Sharia Penal Code, and the Brunei Penal Code. Data on cases of theft in mosques are collected and analyzed in depth to identify key themes related to this offense. This analysis also compares how both legal systems handle theft in mosques. The study also discusses the punishments prescribed under Sharia and Brunei law, as well as the legal processes involved in adjudicating these cases. This approach provides a comprehensive view of the implementation of punishments within the context of Sharia and civil law in Brunei. Additionally, comparing the two systems helps to highlight similarities and differences in their approaches to handling theft. Through this thorough analysis, the study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the importance of maintaining the security and integrity of mosques in Bruneian society. It also emphasizes the importance of upholding religious and legal values in preventing criminal activities such as theft. The security of mosques as places of worship must be meticulously safeguarded, and an understanding of relevant laws can help achieve this goal. By examining both Sharia and national legal perspectives, this study seeks to provide a solid foundation for the protection of mosques and their surrounding communities.
