Abstract

In Islam Legal Aid is not just how justice can be done, but it is a movement of social kindness to humans, so that legal assistance can be viewed as not just a mandate of the law but also a religious mandate to do good to other humans. When Sharia advocates do not take a role in realizing justice to the poor, it means that the existence of Sharia advocates in question does not produce benefits in realizing justice, this is as meaningful as fertilizing injustice. Sharia advocates as part of law enforcement officers who have Islamic morality are obliged to perform community service based on their knowledge and expertise through legal assistance to the poor.
