It is necessary to provide limits on the scope of areas of life covered by Islamic law in the context of developing national law. These limitations in the field of Islamic law must be followed up by Islamic legal experts. The cultivation of Islamic law is carried out with an effort to formulate principles for Islamic legal decision making that better reflect current needs accompanied by proportional humanitarian considerations. During the period of Indonesian independence, Islamic law, Western law and customary law both became materials for the development of national legal unification.
