Author(s): Cut Yusnita, Zahratul Idami, Teuku Muttaqin Mansur

Abstract:

Al Baqarah verse 282 is a guidance from Allah for His believing servants, if they commit unrighteousness, let them write it, hence that they may keep the number and the limit, and that it may be more firm for the witnesses. Article 40 (1) of Law No. 2 of 2014 on Amendments to the Law Number 30 of 2004 on the Notary Office (hereinafter referred to as the UUJN), states that “Every act read by a notary is attended by at least 2 (two) witnesses unless the provisions of the law determine otherwise”. The practice of using a witness in the preparation of a Sharia act still follows the Rule of UUJn, where there are still acts that make 2 (Two) women or 1 (one) woman and 1 (one) male as witnesses. It should be according to the letter Al Baqarah paragraph 282, in an act must be at least 1 (one) male witness and 2 (two) female witness or 4 (four) women. The method of research used is empirical jurisprudence. The purpose of this study is to explain the picture of the implementation of the use of women witnesses in the making of the Shariah Acts in the district of Aceh Besar.
