Environmental cases in Indonesia have led to intensitying interest and in many circles, especially among a religious scholars who are bound by their moral duty to respond to the challenges of the needs of their community. Fatwas, non -binding legal opinions.about the environment have been issued by religious scholars in response to requests to address social problems. The Indonesian Council of Religious Scholars (Majelis Ulama Indonesia)has the authority to issue fatwas, and twice in recent history it has issued fatwas regarding the natural environment. The first fatwa, issued by the Majelis Ulama Indonesia Regional IV Kalimantan regarded a prohibition on burning the forest and illegal logging. It was aimed at illegal activities in South Kalimantan, and the decision is as follows; logging and mining that degrade the natural environment and impoverish society or the nation are hereby declared to be forbidden (haram). All interests and profits gained from these businesses are not licit and are hereby declared to be haram.The effect /standing of this judgment is required (wajib) explicitly to be in effect in accordance with the law. It has now been six years since this fatwa was issued and there has yet to be an academic study to determine whether the fatwa was effective or had any social influence, especially among Muslims who live in the province of Kalimantan. Second, there was a recent fatwa issued in 2011 by the central committee of the Majelis Ulama Indonesia on the question, Environmental ly Friendly Mining. In cooperation with the Ministry of the Environment, this fatwa has put forward guidelines that are more detailed than the previous fatwa on illegal logging, and offers a more comprehensive rationale for the ruling;a. to strengthen standing of state law, especially with respect to environmental justice in the sector of mining; b To provide correct clarification and understanding to all levels of society regarding religious law with respect to issues connected with the natural environment; and, c. attempt to apply moral and ethical norms and sanctions to those concerned regarding the importance of environmental care in the mining sector. 15.
