THE ROLE OF TUHA PEUT AS ḤAKAM IN RESOLVING DOMESTIC DISPUTES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ISLAMIC LAW (A Case Study in Gampong Lamdom, Banda Aceh City)

This study aims to examine the role of Tuha Peut as a ḥakam in resolving domestic disputes in Gampong Lamdom from the perspective of Islamic law. Employing an empirical legal research method incorporating statutory, conceptual and case-based approaches, data were collected through interviews, observations and document analysis, and subsequently analysed descriptively and prescriptively. The findings indicate that Tuha Peut functions effectively as a trusted mediator, and the consensus-based deliberation mechanism aligns with the principles of ḥakam and ṣulḥ in Islamic law, whilst also reinforcing the application of customary law at the village level.
