URGENSI PENERAPAN ASAS PEMBUKTIAN TERBALIK MENURUT HUKUM ACARA ISLAM
Abstract
Abstrak: Islam meletakkan keadilan sebagai elemen terpenting dalam kehidupan masyarakat dan kesempurnaan keislaman seseorang terkait erat dengan komitmennya dalam menegakkan keadilan dalam kehidupan. Agar keadilan dapat ditegakkan diperlukan penguasa dan penegak hukum yang bertugas menjamin terlaksananya keadilan secara seimbang dalam masyarakat. Dalam tataran praktikal, penguasa seringkali terkendala oleh sistem pembuktian yang dianut, yakni asas praduga tak bersalah. Akibatnya, kebenaran dan keadilan sulit ditegakkan. Penulis artikel ini berargumen bahwa Islam tidak terlalu terpaku pada sistem atau asas yang digunakan penegak hukum. Sekalipun Islam mengajarkan asas praduga tak bersalah, namun juga membenarkan diterapkannya asas pembuktian terbalik. Penulis menyimpulkan bahwa teks-teks ajaran Islam dan kaedah fiqhiyah memberi peluang kepada umat Islam untuk melakukan upaya pembuktian terbalik demi tegaknya keadilan, sesuatu yang dibenarkan, bahkan ada kalanya harus dilakukan.
Abstract: The Exigency of the Application of Reversal Burden of Proof Principle in Islamic Law Procedure. Islam places justice as an important element in social life, and the perfection of ones’ islamicity is closely related to his or her commitment in doing justice into practice. In order to preserve justice government and legal authorities are needed guaranteeing that justice is kept upright in society. At the practical level, the authority has always faced with the system of proof being presumed, that is the principle of reversal burden of proof, and thus justice is difficult to be fulfilled. The author argues that Islam has not been confined into system and principle used by legal authorities. Although Islam introduces the principle of innocence, it also acknowledges the application of reversal burden of proof principle. The author concludes that the texts of Islamic teachings and Islamic legal maxim provide room for the Muslim community to exercise reversal burden of proof to maintain justice, something that is permissible if not a necessity to be applied.
