    (Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2024) Nur Aisyah Fadillah; Farid Fachruddin
    This research examines the concept of five genders in the Muslim Bugis Society in Bone, South Sulawesi. The Bugis society recognize five gender such as oroane (male), makkunrai (female), calabai (male who take on female gender roles), calalai (female who take on male gender roles) and bissu (a gender considered to represent the full spectrum of gender). There is a gap between the belief of the gender system in the local tradition of Bugis society and the Islamic perspective, as it is known that the majority of the people are Muslim. The focus of this research study refers to three points. First, of the existence of non-binary gender adapts to the Islamic religious norms that apply in the Bugis Muslim society as well as the discussion of non-binary gender in Islamic studies discourse, second, how the identity of non-binary gender understood, accepted and negotiated in the context both religion and tradition and last, their challenges and opportunities that non-binary genders face in fighting for their identity. this research uses a qualitative method with a case study in Bone region, South Sulawesi, the data collection technique include interviews with the individual who identify as non-binary gender, the community leader and the government agency as well as document analysis from several sources. This research argues that the existence of non-binary genders in Bone region is a form of traditional belief that demonstrates a unique diversity of gender identity that does not violate the pure teachings of their religion. In fact, the path of bissu is one way to lead a path that is in accordance with Islamic teachings. Their existence also faces challenges such as pros and cons due to various issues as well as stigma and discrimination embedded in society. The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of non-binary genders as part of gender diversity and explain the resilience of cultural traditions in face of social and religious change.

    Virtuality of online religion in cyberspace : study of virtual hajj in metaverse discourse
    (Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian Masyarakat, UIN Syekh Ali Hasan Ahmad Addary Padangsidimpuan, 2024-06-30) Nur Aisyah Fadillah; Ahmad Nailul Murad
    Ahmad Nailul Murad - Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, Indonesia DOI : 10.24952/fitrah.v10i1.10866 PDF Supp. File(s): Author(S) Statement Of Originality ABSTRACT REFERENCES LICENSING HOW TO CITE The article examines the phenomenon of shifting religion in Cyberspace, where the practices from the offline to the online sphere are indicated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has changed the social structure and behaviour of Indonesian society. For the most part, hajj metaverse discourse tends to use this new public space to be a clear visual manifestation of religious identity. Using this theoretical framework of Champbell and Sheldon, religion needs to adjust to all threats and risks in Cyberspace. The article questions to what extent the metaverse Hajj discourse has shifted religious authority in Cyberspace. How has the pandemic impacted the discourse of Hajj through the metaverse? as seen from the debate of restrictions on places of worship and leading to alternative ways to enjoy the Hajj pilgrimage during the COVID-19 pandemic? Using qualitative methods and ethnographic study, discourse on metaverse hajj makes it impossible to shift religious authority because, in historical, legal, and procedural terms, it is problematic to apply in Muslim society. On the other hand, the ritual of Hajj cannot be broken because a series of activities requires physical presence. The second finding is that the law of Hajj in the metaverse to spread COVID-19 does not validate the Hajj itself because it does not fulfil the pillars of Hajj. Findings reveal that while the metaverse offers potential benefits such as increased accessibility and immersive experiences, it also raises concerns regarding fulfilling Hajj's core tenets, which require physical presence and adherence to specific rituals. The study concludes that although virtual Hajj may serve as a supplementary tool for education and familiarization, it cannot replace the actual pilgrimage due to its inherent limitations in fulfilling the religious obligations associated with Hajj. This research contributes to understanding how digital transformation influences religious practices and highlights the tension between technological advancements and traditional rituals.
