Abstract

This paper explains the revivalist Islamic criticism of the views of the Paramadina Writers Team which permits interfaith marriages and permissibility of inheritance of different religions. This research is a library research with the main data source is the book Fiqh Lintas Agama: Membangun Masyarakat Inklusif-Pluralis. The results showed that Islamic revivalists argued that the history of Mu’azd and Muawiyah which was used as a reference by the Paramadina Writers Team did not agree on its validity compared to the history which forbids a Muslim from inheriting infidels. Whereas giving precedence to an agreed proposition of validity is more important to be held against than an argument whose validity is not agreed upon. Choosing a majority opinion over the opinion of a minority is more prioritized. The case where the majority of scholars forbid interfaith marriages is haram because of the textual statements of the verse, except marriages with the ahl al-kitab. That skill is also an emergency. Even the adverse effects of interfaith marriages must take precedence over benefits.

Abstract

Tulisan ini akan membahas hermeneutika dalam perspektif Gadamer. Menurut Gadamer membaca dan memahami sebuah teks pada dasarnya adalah melakukan dialog dan membangun sintesis antara dunia teks, dunia pengarang dan dunia pembaca. Ketiga hal ini -dunia teks, dunia pengarang dan dunia pembaca- menjadi pertimbangan penting dalam setiap pemahaman. Pengabaian atas salah satu aspek akan melahirkan pemahaman atas teks menjadi kering dan miskin. Untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang maksimal, Gadamer mengajukan empat teori: prasangka hermeneutik, lingkaran Hermeneutika, Aku-Engkau” menjadi “Kami” dan hermeneutika dialektis. Keempat teori ini bukan hal yang baru dalam tradisi tafsir. Sebab prinsip dasar hermeneutika adalah sebuah upaya interpretatif untuk memhami teks.

Abstract

Molondhalo is one of the traditions preserved by the Muslim community of Gorontalo. This tradition concerns “touching” the stomach of a pregnant woman at the seventh month of the pregnancy. In Javanese community, this tradition is called Mitoni, in Acehnese Peusijuek, in Sundanese Tingkeban, and in Balinese community magedong-gedongan. Within the Molondhalo ritual, there are cultural attributes, and recital of safety prayer (ngadisalawati) with a set of hulante and polutube. Some of these molondalo traditional practices gain critics from the outsider, i.e. puritan Muslims, because such a ritual practice exposes the awrat (part of the bodies that should be covered) and is said to have been infuenced by Hinduism. This article is not intended to merely address those challenges, but also to show some of the theological arguments of this custom/tradition based on the interpretation of the philosophy of the Gorontalonese community: “Adati hula-hulaa to sara’a, sara’a hula-hulaa to qur’ani” (Custom is based on shari’a, shari’a is based on the Qur’an).

Abstract

This paper discusses traditional Islamic criticism of the concept of heresy in Salafi Islam, categorizing every new act in religion as iconoclastic heresy. Based on this concept of heresy, ritual ceremonies and practices of traditional Islamic religious traditions are classified as acts of heresy. Through literature research based on literary document sources using abstractive inductive logic methods and content analysis, this study found that ritual ceremonies and practices of traditional Islamic religious traditions are not acts of heresy because they are based on theorem (al-Quran, hadith and allegiance) it is new. New actions (mutants) are categorized as bid'ah if they conflict with the Quran, hadith, and a tsar. Traditional Islam criticizes the concept of heresy in Salafi-Wahhabi Islam for being ahistorical because several traditions show that the innovation of a friend, tâbi'u tâbi'uttab'în, while this innovation was not ordered and practiced by the Prophet; instead, was carried out by the generation of the Salaf.

Abstract

This study delves into the Gorontalo tradition of Molobunga Yiliyala, which pertains to the burial of the placenta, from both cultural and Islamic law perspectives. The cultural viewpoint is garnered through interviews with a customary leader, while the Islamic legal perspective is acquired through consultations with a religious figure. In addition to interviews, observations, and document analyses were employed as methodological tools. The research elucidates a symbiotic relationship between culture and religion, epitomized by the principal figures overseeing the Molobunga Yiliyala ritual: the Hulango (customary leader) and the Imamu or Hatibi (religious figure). Culturally, the Molobunga Yiliyala tradition is replete with profound symbolic meanings. This tradition is predicated on humanitarian considerations, as the Yiliyala (placenta) is recognized as a part of the human body deserving reverence. Consequently, it is ceremonially cleansed, shrouded, buried, and accompanied by post-burial prayers. Based on the perspective of maqâshid al-syari‘ah, the Molobunga Yiliyala ritual embodies an actionable manifestation of environmental cleanliness. The Molobunga Yiliyala is deemed sunnah or encouraged in alignment with Islamic jurisprudential principles. As a result, the tradition of Molobunga Yiliyala is categorized as a part of the ‘urf or customary practices within the epistemological paradigm of Islamic law. Each phase of the Molobunga Yiliyala ritual highlights the intricate acculturation of Islam with the indigenous Gorontalo culture.

Abstract

Muslim scholars and local communities have actively negotiated the Islamization process in Indonesia through complex engagements with Islamic law (sharia) and local cultural traditions. This study examines how such interactions have shaped distinct constructions of Islamic moderation in three culturally significant regions: Gorontalo, Minangkabau, and Banten. Employing a qualitative, field-based approach, the research utilizes in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis to explore the integration of sharia and adat (customary law). The findings reveal three typological models of Islamic moderation: (1) an integrative model in Gorontalo, where royal diplomacy and political marriage internalized Islamic law within the framework of customary governance; (2) a negotiation model in Minangkabau, emerging from post-conflict reconciliation between ulama and customary leaders, institutionalized through the philosophy of Adat basandi syarak, syarak basandi Kitabullah; and (3) a hegemonic model in Banten, characterized by the dominance of Islamic law over local traditions, embedded within the centralized religious authority and state power. These findings suggest that Islamic moderation in Indonesia is not a singular concept but the product of historically and contextually embedded legal-cultural dynamics. The study concludes that Islamic moderation is a localized negotiation among legal norms, cultural practices, and power structures. Its academic contribution advances the understanding of legal pluralism in Muslim societies while offering policy-relevant insights for promoting religious tolerance and cultural inclusivity in Indonesia.

Abstract

Tulisan ini mengkaji pembaruan yang dilakukan kaum feminis dan sekaligus kritik terhadap hukum keluarga Islam Indonesia, khususnya tentang kebolehan poligami dalam UU Perkawinan (UUP) dan Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI). Kebolehan poligami tersebut dinilai oleh kalangan feminis tidak berkeadilan gender dan berdampak buruk terhadap perempuan dan anak. Untuk itu mereka melakukan kritik dan pembaruan. Salah satu bentuk pembaruan yang ditawarkan oleh kalangan feminis muslim adalah dengan melakukan reinterpretasi terhadap teks QS. al-Nisa’: 3. Ayat yang menjadi basis teologi atas kebolehan poligami ini dibaca ulang oleh kelompok feminis muslim dengan tiga pendekatan. Pertama, pendekatan holistik, yaitu pemahaman terhadap suatu ayat dengan mengaitkan ayat sebelum dan sesudahnya, melihat konteks historis turunnya ayat serta mendasarkan pemahamannya pada prinsip universal kemanusiaan. Kedua, pendekatan tafsir tandingan, yaitu dengan cara menghadirkan pendapat ulama tafsir yang pro terhadap pendapat feminis. Ketiga, pendekatan fikih alternatif, yaitu menghadirkan pemahaman alternatif yang didukung oleh pendapat ulama modern yang bercorak gender. Berdasarkan reinterpretasi dengan beberapa pendekatan tersebut diperoleh temuan bahwa poligami adalah tidak boleh (haram li ghayri ).
