Dentistry is a part of the field of medicine which is advocated in this digital revolution. The increasing trend in dentistry digitalization has led to the advancement in computer-derived data processing and manufacturing. This progress has been exponentially supported by the Internet of medical things (IoMT), big data and analytical algorithm, internet and communication technologies (ICT) including digital social media, augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR), and artificial intelligence (AI). The interplay between these sophisticated digital aspects has dramatically changed the healthcare and biomedical sectors, especially for dentistry. This myriad of applications of technologies will not only be able to streamline oral health care, facilitate workflow, increase oral health at a fraction of the current conventional cost, relieve dentist and dental auxiliary staff from routine and laborious tasks, but also ignite participatory in personalized oral health care. This narrative article review highlights recent dentistry digitalization encompassing technological advancement, limitations, challenges, and conceptual theoretical modern approaches in oral health prevention and care, particularly in ensuring the quality, efficiency, and strategic dental care in the modern era of dentistry.

This study aims to discuss the institutionalization of custom and Islam in the Fatwa of Aceh’s Ulama Consultative Council (MPU). Local genius and adat have recently emerged as essential role of the legal pluralism discourse in the age of globalization. This fatwa was issued in an effort to preserve Muslim land and property ownership in Aceh, Indonesia, after the tsunami. The effort has its dynamics, considering the existence and control of property by non-Muslims. The problem in this study is how the dynamics of the legal system, encompassing legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture, interact with the institutionalization of legal rights in Aceh's MPU Fatwa. This research is socio-legal research. The results of this study indicate that adherence to adat, mediated by ‘hak mieung’, has placed adat structures as dispute resolution processes. Legal culture is of greater significance than legal structure and substance in the institutionalization of hak langgeih in Aceh.

The reality concerning the agricultural zakat in Malaysia only impose the zakah on the paddy crops based solely on the opinion of Imam Shafii rather than an opinion of other scholars. This paper aims to critically examine the agricultural zakat in Islam based on Malaysian context and analyse the transformation of expanding the agricultural zakat based on the objective of Shariah. A qualitative methodology was employed to analyse the data through inductive, deductive, comparative and field research. As for the field research, the study has conducted semi-structured interviews with the Zakat Corporation, Islamic Religious Council and Muftis Department in the selected states in Malaysia, namely: Selangor, Penang, Terengganu and Sarawak. The finding demonstrated that the revenue of the agricultural-based zakat could be expanded according to the view held by Imam Hanafi and its benefit to the current agricultural economy. Thus, this paper proposes that every State's Zakat Corporations and Islamic Religious Councils in Malaysia should reassess the existing ruling and legal framework of agricultural zakat in order to realize its revenue expansion as an effective solution for the current zakat collection.

Penggunaan bukti saintifik di mahkamah dapat mensabitkan seseorang dengan sesuatu kes, dan membebaskan orang yang tidak bersalah. Penerimaan bukti saintifik telah diamalkan di mahkamah sivil sejak tahun 1950-an dan diguna pakai secara meluas sehingga hari ini. Sungguhpun demikian, senario berbeza berlaku di mahkamah syariah, bukti saintifik amat jarang digunakan. Pada hakikatnya, undangundang Keterangan Mahkamah Syariah mempunyai peruntukan yang hampir sama dengan Akta Keterangan 1950 berkaitan pembuktian saintifik. Oleh itu, makalah ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji peruntukan dalam undang-undang Keterangan Mahkamah Syariah berkaitan bukti saintifik dan penerimaannya di mahkamah syariah. Kajian kualitatif ini menggunakan kaedah penyelidikan dokumentari dalam pengumpulan data primer dan sekunder. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan dengan pendekatan penalaran induktif. Hasil kajian menunjukkan pembuktian saintifik boleh dilakukan oleh ahli forensik. Hukum Syarak menerima dan mengamalkan pembuktian saintifik sebagai salah satu kaedah bagi mensabitkan atau menafikan sesuatu dakwaan. Selain itu, undang-undang keterangan mahkamah syariah juga membuka laluan dan ruang untuk menerima pakai kaedah pembuktian saintifik melalui peruntukan berkaitan keterangan dokumen awam dan pendapat pakar. Terdapat prosedur perundangan yang telah disediakan berkaitan pembuktian saintifik. Hukum Syarak didapati tidak menolak konsep sains forensik malah telah menerimanya sejak ribuan tahun sebelum diperkenalkan melalui nama, terma, dan konsep yang moden. Aplikasi dan sumbangan kajian ini tertumpu pada kajian undang-undang keterangan serta membuat penjelasan berkaitan pendapat pakar yang kurang dikupas dalam kajian terdahulu. Kajian ini turut memberikan kefahaman yang terhadap konsep sains forensik dalam konteks undang-undang keterangan mahkamah syariah. Kata kunci: Fiqh forensik, sains forensik, Undang-undang Keterangan, mahkamah syariah, bukti saintifik Abstract Presenting scientific evidence in court is significant to prove and convict a case, as well as to exonerate innocent people. Acceptance of scientific evidence has been practiced in the civil courts as early as the 1950s and is widely adopted today. However, the scenario is different in the syariah courts, where scientific evidence is rarely used. In fact, Syariah Court Evidence law contains provisions pertaining to scientific evidence that are in pari materia to the Evidence Act 1950. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the provisions in Syariah Court Evidence law regarding scientific evidence and its acceptance in the Syariah Court. This qualitative study uses documentary research methods in collecting primary and secondary data. Data was analysed using the content analysis method by adopting inductive reasoning. The results of the study show that scientific evidence can be presented by forensic experts. The hukum syarak (sharia law) accepts scientific evidence as one of the means of proving or disproving. In addition, the syariah court’s Evidence Law also paves the way for the acceptance of scientific evidence through provisions concerning public documents and expert opinions. There are also legal procedures regarding scientific evidence. In conclusion, sharia law has accepted forensic science for over a thousand years before it was introduced using more scientific and modern names, terms, and concepts. This study focuses on the evidence law, as well as clarifying the opinions of experts that have not yet been examined in previous studies. This study also provides a thorough understanding of the concept of forensic science in the context of the evidence law of the syariah courts. Keywords: Fiqh forensics, forensic science, evidence law, syariah courts, scientific evidence

Al-Dharīʿah is an important concept in the issuance / establishment of Islamic law. In general, it covers two main parts, namely sadd al-dharīʿah and fath al-dharīʿah. However, this second part (fath al-dharīʿah) is less discussed in depth and extensively by previous scholars. Thus, this study is to produce pragmatic and practical parameters of al- dharīʿah according to the perspective of Sharīʿah. This study uses a library research methodology. The results of this study show that the parameters of al- dharīʿah produced must be holistic and comprehensive to cover the scope of sadd and fath al- dharīʿah so that the law issued/inferred can lead to permissible laws (such as obligatory, preferable and allowable) or vice versa. The researcher suggested a solution so that the parameters of al-dharīʿah that have been produced can be applied in contemporary matters such as Islamic finance, halal industry, education, medicine and so on to ensure that Sharīʿah law is maintained and ensure that the Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah is achieved perfectly. Abstrak Al-Dharīʿah adalah suatu konsep yang penting dalam pengistibatan hukum. Secara umumnya, ianya meliputi dua bahagian utama iaitu sadd al-dharīʿah dan fath al-dharīʿah. Walaubagaimanapun, bahagian kedua ini (fath al-dharīʿah) kurang diperbincangkan secara mendalam dan meluas oleh para ulama’ terdahulu. Justeru, kajian ini adalah untuk menghasilkan parameter al-dhariah yang pragmatik dan praktikal menurut perspektif Syarak. Kajian ini menggunakan metodologi kajian perpustakaan. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahawasanya parameter al-dhariah yang dihasilkan perlulah holistik dan syumul merangkumi skop sadd dan fath al- dharīʿah supaya hukum yang dikeluarkan/diistinbatkan boleh membawa kepada hukum yang diperbolehkan (seperti wajib, sunat dan harus) ataupun sebaliknya. Pengkaji mencadangkan solusi agar parameter al-dharīʿah yang telah dihasilkan ini dapat diaplikasikan dalam perkara-perkara yang kontemporari seperti kewangan Islam, industri halal, pendidikan, perubatan dan sebagainya untuk memastikan hukum Syarak terjaga sekaligus memastikan Maqāṣid al- Syarīʿah tercapai dengan sempurna.
