Introduction
The relation between law and society in the 1970s in America resulted in the
emergence of the responsive-law concept. The socio-political conditions were not much
different from what happened in Indonesia. Both were democratic countries that experienced
legal, social, and economic crises. America also experienced legal and social crises, and even
leaders with authoritarian leadership styles, particularly during President Richard Nixon.1
Meanwhile, Indonesia experienced a period of authoritarianism during the New Order era,
which led to the downfall of President Soeharto.2
In this context, responsive law became part of critical legal studies that emerged in
1977.3 It not only became a response to surrounding social conditions but was also part of the
intellectual exploration of legal experts.4 The tripartite relation resulted in three types of legal
products, namely: repressive, autonomous, and responsive laws.5
There were at least two types of law that have been implemented during post-
Independence in Indonesia, namely responsive/democratic law and conservative/authoritarian
law. Mahfud’s study proved Indonesia has practiced both types of law. First, the Sukarno’s
government era, which was divided into two periods: 1945-1959 and 1959-1966. The 1945-

filed a judicial review to the Constitutional Court [henceforth (MK)], 13 although it later
resulted in defeat. In addition to rejection, the new UUPZ also received sharp criticism that
there has been a regression in the enactment of the law, 14 conflicts of interest between
BAZNAS (National Amil Zakat Agency) and the government, 15 the need for adjustment of
zakat regulations,16 and the UUPZ urged to be amended. 17 All of these were civil society
objections to the enactment of the new UUPZ.
This article was aimed at discussing anomaly of political-configuration relation to
zakat-law products during Reform era. Despite the political configuration was democratic, it
produced a conservative-zakat law through the enactment of Law No. 23 of 2011 on Zakat
Management. Therefore, the question that arised were: why did it emerge an anomaly in
political-configuration relation to zakat-law products during the Reform era? And how was
the pattern of zakat law in the efforts to involve civil-society participation in zakat-law
enactment?

law should be interested in civil society, not for the benefit of the rulers 29. In this context, the
law has an urgency in maintaining a collective balance in the midst of its constituent society.30
The typology of responsive law was very proper for Indonesia to enter the transition
period towards democracy,31 as happened in 1998.32
John Henry Marryman referred to responsive law as a law with a sensitive character
towards people’s aspirations.33 This concept was then developed by Nonet & Selznick through
responsive law. Responsive law has a special characteristic, namely to find hidden values in a
rule.34 This is where the importance of responsive law lies, which expands justice that is not
procedural, then extends it to substantive justice.35
The ability of the law to adapt 36 flexibly37 to society’s needs is part of responsive-law
character. In this context, the purpose of the law is for the welfare of society, not just for the
autonomous law, let alone the law that represses society and benefits of the rulers. Responsive
law is reflected in daily lives of society in a fair way. This condition is an effect of the
preparation of laws through a democratic political configuration.38
Anomaly of Relation between Political Configuration and Legal Products
Political configuration is used to provide a map of political power in a country in its
democratic or authoritarian form.39 The indicators can be seen from the party system, the
government role, and the press/media role. 40 Theoretically, the political configuration that is
built should have an influence on the legal products produced. At the beginning of Reform
era, the political configuration had changed from authoritarian to democratic.41

In 2009 election, there were 38 participating parties, but only 9 parties were able to
send their representatives to DPR RI as they passed the parliamentary threshold of 2.5% of
the vote.48
The multi-party system in the election is an indication of the democracy level in a
country.49 It is an instrument that cannot be separated from the political life of a modern
democratic country.50
2. Differences in Views within FOZ
Changes in RUUPZ dynamics on FOZ proposals that were accommodated in 2008 51
have occurred. The reason for this was that there were sharp differences within the FOZ itself,
particularly between the group with a revivalist-ideological background, such as: Erie Sudewo
and Didin Hafidhudin, and the group with a modernist ideology. The revivalist group
requested mandatory zakat norm to be included in the draft law, while the modernist group
did not.52
Fauzia mentioned that revivalist Islam had a political alliance with Islamist politics
through the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS).53 This group demanded to involve the state fully
for zakat management.
Differences of opinion within FOZ led to the formation of GEMAZ in 2010. It was
zakat activist group that did not need the mandatory norm for zakat payment to be included in
the RUUPZ. Finally, in July 2010, DPR tended to use the proposal put forward by GEMAZ 54
through the revision of the RUUPZ as development from House Commission VIII of RI draft
2004-2009 period.
The years of 2009-2010 were the beginning of heated discussions about RUUPZ
changes, particularly among civil society, as indicated by the final choice of House
Commission VIII of RI on the proposal to change the RUUPZ based on GEMAZ's
recommendation, which was submitted on June 15, 2010.55

Public law is the law that regulates the legal relationship between the government and its civil society
in relation to the maintenance of public interests. See Riduan Syahrani, Rangkuman Intisari Hukum (Bandung:

not necessarily produce elitist-legal products. In fact, it could produce legal products with
responsive characteristics.
Halim took several examples of legal cases, such as Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning
Marriage, Law No. 7 of 1989 concerning Religious Courts, Law No. 7 of 1996 concerning
Food, and Law No. 3 of 1997 concerning Juvenile Courts. 72 Legal studies included the
Marriage Law in the field of private law, and another three laws included in the field of public
law. They all emerged from an authoritarian-political configuration, but produced responsive
legal products.
Furthermore, there were Law No. 17 of 1999 concerning Implementation of Hajj
Worship, Law No. 38 of 1999 concerning Management of Zakat, and Law No. 39 of 1999
concerning Human Rights that emerged at the beginning of Reformation era. 73 These three
laws were born from an authoritarian political configuration chosen through General Election
on May 29, 1997, which was followed by three political parties, PPP, PDI, and Golkar.
Golkar had won by garnering 74.51% of the vote, PPP obtained 22.43% of the vote, and PDI
had to be satisfied with 3.06% of the total vote of 112.991.150 people. 74 Nevertheless, the
legal products produced were considered as responsive legal products.75
Halim attempted to categorize all these laws. He categorized them as Islamic law.
These laws contained legal material and substance that were responsive to aspirations of civil
(Islamic) society. In other words, the laws could be supposed to be in accordance with Islamic
law or, at least, their substances did not ignore the spirit of values contained within it.
Although the results were born from an authoritarian political configuration during the
governments of Soeharto or Habibi. The political configuration was a legacy of 1997
election.76
Although this study had similarities in finding anomalies with Halim’s findings, but it
had different reasons. In this context, this study found the anomaly in the relation between
political configuration and legal product due to the continued dominance of the executive in
lawmaking.

For Henri Lefebvre, space is not merely something static but possesses dynamic
dimensions. Space can be produced,79 and its creation should consider social functions,
including civil Islamic society’s participation space in forming laws.
Meanwhile, for Edward W. Soja, participation space will provide spatial justice. 80 As a
development from spatial history,81 space in the socio-political context functions as the third
space. This space allows for the presence of an imaginative space that connects spatial
practices, by involving civil society represented by DPR and the government in the discussion
of the law. Soja pays serious attention to the role of stakeholders to bring about spatial
justice.82
There are three components in this third space. 83 First, spatial practice is the
interaction of people who meet each other in and around a space. Second, space representation
is a planned space designed by architects, bureaucrats, and investors, whose equipment is
complete with models, layouts, pictures, and all its manual instructions. Third,
representational space is a symbolic space that connects space representation with spatial
practice so that spatial practice can proceed well.84
Participation space in the formation of Zakat Law was actually given by DPR RI
through efforts of holding public hearings (RDPU) with FOZ. Although initially poorly
responded, DPR RI then responded well and even exceeded its expectations.85
The government, on the other hand, did not give spatial space for civil society
participation in the discussion of RUUPZ with DPR RI. And even DPR then turned and did
not defend the RUUPZ agreed with GEMAZ to fight for in the working committee meetings.
Spatial justice exists more due to the presence of inequality in a relation and
interaction.86 For Soja, spatial justice in making laws for civil society will not be obtained
without giving spatial-participation space in DPR institution. Spatial injustice can be

In spatial history, space is composed of geography and time. Geography consists of space, place, and
interaction. Meanwhile, interaction itself contains representations of regions, patterns, communication, and
behavior.

This study has found that, firstly, anomaly in relationship between political
configuration and zakat law occurred because of the dominant character of executive in the
making of zakat law in DPR. Although there has been a shift in the domain of lawmaking
from executive to legislative. Secondly, to produce responsive laws, it is necessary to provide
spatial justice through the participation of Islamic civil society in the making of zakat law.
