الخلوة في الشريعة وقانون بروناي

Abstract

The act of Khalwat with a non-mahram women or men is one of the many important issue in islam. This due to the Islamic Law which does not allow many forbidden contact between the opposite sex outside of marriage and any kind of possibility that can lead to it. Therefore I came up with the research highlighting the Khalwat issue based on the Islamic law and Brunei law. I would also like to explain the reality of this crime in Brunei Darussalam provided the Brunei law did emphasized this subject in one chapter. At this moment, khalwat become a serious problem which must be handle effectively. It became an uprising issue which spread across Muslim country, specifically in Brunei Darussalam.This coursework discussed and explained further regarding Khalwat and also the comparison between its punishment according to Syariah Law and the law which practiced in Brunei Darussalam. Furthermore, this coursework includes the cause and reasons why Khalwat occurred and its negative impact to the individual and community in the country.Lastly, steps and precautions will be also discussed to tackle the issue of Khalwat such as giving advice and educate the youth from the government in accordance to Syariah principle. In this research, methodology that I use are lot of books in the library. Conclusion from this research, we must avoid crime khalwat because khalwat can bring more disadvantages rather than advantages.
