Abstract

The Aceh Government is given several special authority in managing its regions. One of the authorities is the application of Islamic values to local communities which are regulated based on Qanun. Qanun is a statutory regulation similar to a province/district/city regional regulation that regulates the administration of governance and the life of the Acehnese. This paper describes the status and position of qanun in the Indonesian legal system. The method used is normative juridical and empirical reinforcement through direct observation and using a qualitative approach. Legitimately the enforcement of qanun jinayat is legal because the application of the rules is by the derivation of the national law,. The implementation of Islamic law in Aceh is very much determined by the agencies and institutions related to the enforcement of qanun laws. However, it is known that the public does not know that there is a rule that applies and does not know that the regulation is in direct contact with their interests as citizens and members of society. This ignorance is due to the lack or absence of socialization or the introduction of the qanun during the midst of society.
