This study aims to determine how the perspective of Islamic law on special protection for whistleblowers
and witnesses is regulated in existing law in Indonesia, especially in Government Regulation No.57 of
2003 concerning Special Protection Procedures for Reporters and Witnesses to the Crime of Money
Laundering. As normative juridical law research and is analyzed using descriptive-analytical methods,
namely by analyzing the data under study by describing these data, then the conclusion is drawn.
Special protection is a form of protection provided by the state to guarantee a sense of security for
Reporting Parties or Witnesses from possible threats that endanger themselves, their lives, and/or their
assets including their families. Criminal provisions in positive law, namely those regulated in
Legislation Number 31 of 1999, for perpetrators who threaten and intimidate witnesses and
whistleblowers can be subject to imprisonment and fines. In Islam, giving testimony is ordered directly in
the Koran so that maintaining the safety of witnesses is also very important. The perspective of Islamic
law on the form of special protection for whistleblowers and witnesses in criminal acts, in particular,
the Crime of Money Laundering in positive law in Indonesia has met the values in the objectives of
Islamic law (maqashid al-shari'ah). This is regulated in the Positive Law in Indonesia which regulates
sufficiently the rights of a witness and also a whistleblower of a crime.
