JUSTICE COLLABORATOR IN VIEW OF ISLAMIC CRIMINAL LAW

Abstract

The term "justice collaborator" emerged after the Ferdy Sambo case was exposed to the public. The reason is that the murder case involving POLRI members was accompanied by "drama" which attracted the attention of many people from the investigation process to the trial process, various mass media covered how the judicial process in this case was going. For some circles the term "justice collaborator" may sound foreign, but experts and academics in the criminal field may already be very "familiar" with this term. The question that arises then is how Islamic Criminal Law views and responds to this term. The purpose of this research is to find out "justice collaborators" in the view of Islamic Criminal Law and what the legal consequences are. The results of the study stated that in the view of Islamic Criminal Law "justice collaborators" or witness witnesses are witnesses (martyrs) who fall into the wicked category for the sin they have committed, but scholars of Islamic law agree that the testimony of a person who is wicked if he repents and promises not to repeats his actions then his testimony can be accepted. The legal consequences obtained by a "justice collaborator" are forgiveness or leniency from law enforcers for their cooperation in uncovering criminal cases that are difficult to dismantle.
