Abstract

The legality of establishing places of worship in Aceh should ideally adhere to national provisions as stipulated in the Ministerial Joint Regulation (PBM) No. 4 Year 9/No. 8 of 2006. However, the Aceh Qanun on the establishment of places of worship, as outlined in Aceh Qanun No. 4 of 2016, has been criticized for its narrow interpretation, which is perceived to hinder non-Muslims in obtaining permits for their places of worship. This study analyzes the implementation and urgency of the legality of establishing places of worship for both Muslims and non-Muslims, and compares the legal differences between national regulations and the Aceh Qanun. The research employs a qualitative approach with normative legal analysis and comparative study methodology, drawing primary data from Aceh Qanun and the 2006 PBM. The findings indicate that Aceh Qanun No. 4 of 2016 responds to social paradigms and emphasizes the need to minimize conflicts in Aceh.
