Abstract

Islamic philosophy, Sufism, Islamic jurisprudence, and Javanese traditions offer diverse and sometimes conflicting perspectives on the status and role of women. While some schools of thought position women as subordinate to men, others advocate for gender equality and even recognize female leadership over men. This study aims to analyze and compare these varied viewpoints through a qualitative literature review, drawing primarily from foundational texts and primary sources. The findings reveal that Islamic philosophy, as represented by al-Fârâbî (870–950), and Sufism, particularly in the works of Ibn Arabi (1165–1240), uphold a vision of gender equality, emphasizing the shared spiritual and intellectual capacities of women and men. In contrast, classical Islamic jurisprudence tends to place women in a subordinate position, often restricting their roles in public and legal spheres. The Javanese tradition presents a dualistic stance: while it recognizes women as integral to male identity and capable of leadership, it simultaneously perpetuates notions of women as possessions or appendages to men. This ambivalence reflects the syncretic nature of Javanese culture, shaped by both indigenous and Islamic influences. Given the persistent gender disparities in contemporary Muslim societies, this study argues for a greater dissemination and integration of the more egalitarian views found in Islamic philosophy and Sufism. Such perspectives offer theological and cultural resources for advancing a more balanced and respectful relationship between men and women. Ultimately, the study contributes to broader debates on gender, religion, and tradition in the Muslim world, advocating for a reevaluation of normative frameworks surrounding women.

Abstract

Talfīq, or the combination of various opinions of jurisprudence madhhab, is frequently used to arrive at solutions in Islamic law. It was used extensively in the tajdīd era, the early 20th century AD, namely through the Islamic law reforms in family and personal matters in most Muslim countries. The concept is controversial and not universally accepted by ulama. Most classical ulama opposed it, although most contemporary ulama believe that talfīq is acceptable as a method for legal solutions. This research investigated the reasons or factors for this disagreement by analyzing the related views of such ulama. The qualitative research used a literature review from classical and contemporary books about talfīq. This research concluded that although the classical ulama appeared to be grounded firmly in their opposition to the practice of talfīq, subsequent development of Islamic law showed practical consideration made inroads in accepting talfīq as a method for legal solution. This acceptance is made by putting conditions and controls on how and when talfīq can be used to solve modern Muslim legal problems. This modification ensures the traditionalists that the danger of talfīq, as previously envisaged, would be avoided Abstrak: Talfīq atau gabungan berbagai pendapat mazhab fikih merupakan metode yang sering digunakan untuk mencari solusi dalam hukum Islam. Hal ini digunakan secara luas pada zaman tajdīd, yaitu awal abad XX Masehi, melalui reformasi hukum Islam dalam masalah hukum privat dan keluarga di sebagian besar negara Muslim. Konsepnya kontroversial dan tidak disetujui secara universal oleh para sarjana. Mayoritas ulama Islam klasik telah menentangnya meskipun sebagian besar ulama kontemporer berpandangan bahwa talfīq dapat diterima sebagai metode penyelesaian hukum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki alasan atau faktor ketidaksepakatan ini dengan melihat sampel dari pandangan terkait dari para ulama tersebut. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan tinjauan pustaka. Data diperoleh dari buku-buku klasik dan kontemporer yang menulis tentang talfīq. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa meskipun para ulama klasik pada mulanya tampak berpijak kuat pada penentangan mereka terhadap praktik talfīq, perkembangan hukum Islam selanjutnya menunjukkan pertimbangan praktis yang membuat terobosan dalam menerima talfīq sebagai metode penyelesaian hukum. Penerimaan ini dilakukan dengan meletakkan kondisi dan kontrol tentang bagaimana dan kapan talfīq dapat digunakan dalam memberikan solusi atas masalah hukum Islam modern. Modifikasi ini memastikan kaum tradisionalis menghindari bahaya talfīq seperti yang dibayangkan sebelumnya.
