GUIDELINES COMPLIANCE ON ENTERTAINMENT CONTROL IN KELANTAN

PEMATUHAN GARIS PANDUAN TERHADAP KAWALAN HIBURAN DI KELANTAN

Abstract

Entertainment is not a foreign concept to the general public. In fact, several studies have shown that entertainment is a fundamental aspect of human life. Islam itself does not prohibit entertainment, provided that it adheres to the boundaries prescribed by Shariah law. Nevertheless, in today’s increasingly complex socio-cultural environment, many members of the Muslim community; particularly among the youth, have become influenced by Western cultural norms, especially the hedonistic lifestyle. In response to this, the Kelantan State Government has established specific guidelines and enacted legislation concerning cultural, artistic, and entertainment-related activities.Thus, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of enforcement mechanisms and the level of compliance by event organisers and the general public with the guidelines issued by the Kelantan State Government. The primary objective is to ensure that entertainment activities are conducted in accordance with Islamic principles and within the legal framework provided. A qualitative methodology was employed in this study, including document analysis of official circulars, gazettes, enactments, and state-issued guidelines. Additionally, the research involved library-based study and fieldwork, including interviews with relevant government officers. It is hoped that this study will contribute to academic discourse in the fields of arts and entertainment from an Islamic perspective, while also enhancing public understanding of the principles governing permissible forms of entertainment in Islam. Findings indicate that the existing legal frameworks and guidelines have played a significant role in regulating entertainment activities in Kelantan, ensuring they remain consistent with Islamic values. However, the study also identifies several challenges, such as inadequate monitoring of non-compliant organisers and inconsistencies in the implementation and enforcement of the established guidelines.

Abstrak

Hiburan bukanlah aktiviti yang asing dalam kalangan masyarakat awam,bahkan terdapat kajian mengatakan manusia ini memerlukan hiburan dalam hidup. Islam sama sekali tidak melarang manusia untuk berhibur asalkan mengikut batas syarak yang telah digariskan. Namun pada zaman yang serba mencabar ini, masyarakat Islam terutamanya golongan muda sudah terjebak dengan pengaruh budaya Barat yang melalaikan seumpama budaya Hedonisme. Justeru Kerajaan Negeri Kelantan telah menyediakan garis panduan serta Enakmen khusus berkait dengan aktiviti atau konsert yang berbentuk kebudayaan, keseniaan dan hiburan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji tahap keberkesanan penguatkuasaan, pematuhan pihak penganjur dan masyarakat awam terhadap garis panduan yang telah ditetapkan oleh Kerajaan Negeri Kelantan bagi memastikan aktiviti hiburan yang dianjurkan mengikut syariat Islam dan tidak melanggar garis panduan.Kajian ini menggunakan metodologi kualitatif dengan membuat analisis dokumen daripada surat pekeliling, warta, enakmen dan garis panduan yang dikeluarkan oleh Kerajaan Negeri Kelantan, kaedah perpustakaan serta kajian lapangan melalui temubual pegawai yang terlibat. Diharapkan agar kajian ini dapat membantu para pengkaji berkaitan kesenian dan hiburan seterusnya menambahkan lagi kefahaman berkenaan garis panduan berhibur dalam Islam kepada masyarakat awam. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa undang-undang serta garis panduan berhibur telah membantu mengawal aktiviti hiburan di Kelantan dengan memastikan ia selaras dengan prinsip Islam. Namun, terdapat cabaran dalam penguatkuasaan kerana kekurangan pemantauan terhadap penganjur yang tidak mematuhi garis panduan serta berlakunya ketidakseragaman dalam pelaksanaan dan pemantauan.
