The Performance of Wilayatul Hisbah in the Context of Islamic Shariah Implementation in Simeulue Regency

Abstract

The enforcement of law in Aceh Province reflects the special autonomy the central government grants to implement Islamic Sharia. Qanun is a form of legislation equivalent to regional regulations, established by several specialized agencies to oversee the implementation of Islamic Sharia, one of which is Wilayatul Hisbah or Sharia police. Wilayatul Hisbah is a key factor in the success of the implementation of Qanun on Islamic Sharia. As time progresses, it is evident that the responsibilities of Wilayatul Hisbah have increased due to a rise in violations. Various phenomena of violations against Islamic Sharia rules within the community create the perception that Wilayatul Hisbah has not performed optimally in fulfilling its duties. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the extent of Wilayatul Hisbah's performance in implementing Islamic Sharia. This research employs a quantitative approach, with data collection conducted through a questionnaire via Google Forms and statistical data analysis. The results indicate that Wilayatul Hisbah's performance in implementing Islamic Sharia has not yet been fully realized in Simeulue Regency. To maximize the performance of Wilayatul Hisbah, considerations must be made regarding effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy.
