Abstract

Although the main goal of implementing the Islamic Sharia qanun is to create social justice in Aceh, its implementation is often hindered by interpretations that do not align with the local social and cultural conditions. This study examines the role of semantics and pragmatics in the understanding and application of the qanun, focusing on how social and cultural factors influence the way society accepts and applies the law. The research methodology used is qualitative analysis with a descriptive approach to explore the information in depth. The findings suggest that the success of implementing the qanun depends not only on the accuracy of the legal text but also on a deep contextual understanding of the local culture and values. Effective communication between lawmakers, law enforcers, and society is key in this process. Furthermore, a pragmatic approach is crucial in aligning legal texts with the evolving social reality, ensuring that the law is more effectively accepted and applied in accordance with the community's conditions.
