    Parewa Saraq: Journal of Islamic Law and Fatwa Review is an international scholarly journal committed to advancing rigorous research in Islamic law and contemporary fatwa studies published by Majelis Ulama Indonesia South Sulawesi Province. The journal implements a strict double blind peer review process to ensure academic integrity, originality, and substantial theoretical contribution in every published article. Positioned within the broader field of Islamic Legal Studies and Regulatory Theology, Parewa Saraq: Journal of Islamic Law and Fatwa Review focuses on examining fatwas as foundational instruments in the enforcement and development of contemporary Islamic law across countries that maintain formal fatwa institutions. Through a multidisciplinary approach that integrates normative legal analysis, socio-legal inquiry, comparative law, and governance studies, the journal explores how fatwas function not only as religious guidance but also as mechanisms of legal authority, social regulation, and public policy. With an international orientation, the journal encourages comparative studies involving jurisdictions such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt, and other Muslim-majority countries, highlighting the interaction between classical jurisprudential frameworks and modern state legal systems. It emphasizes the integration of uṣūl al-fiqh, maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, Qur’anic and ḥadīth-based legal reasoning, and contemporary governance reform in understanding the evolving authority of fatwa institutions. The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to, Islamic family law reform, Islamic criminal law in modern state contexts, gender and fatwa discourse, Islamic economic law including zakāt and waqf governance, political dynamics of religious authority, and emerging global issues such as digital finance, bioethics, artificial intelligence, and human rights. Through these perspectives, Parewa Saraq: Journal of Islamic Law and Fatwa Review contributes to global academic discussions on the transformation, harmonization, and regulatory function of fatwas in shaping Islamic legal practices in both national and transnational settings (See Focus and Scope). The articles of this journal are published bi-annually; May and November. Since 07 October 2025 has been accepted for inclusion in DOAJ.
