Abstract

In contemporary Indonesia, waria-a culturally specific category of gender nonconformity-continue to experience religious marginalization, often justified through rigid readings of Prophetic traditions on cross-dressing (takhannuts). Beyond juridical debate, this exclusion raises fundamental questions of human dignity and religious belonging. This article re-examines canonical hadîts narrations on the mukhannath using Jorge J. E. Gracia’s functional hermeneutics, drawing on reports in Shahîh al-Bukhârî and Shahîh alongside their classical commentaries. The study advances three arguments: first, gender ambiguity was recognized in early Islam as a lived social reality rather than a moral anomaly; second, the hadîts corpus distinguishes between innate disposition (min ashl al-khilqah) and deliberate imitation (tasyabbuh), directing censure toward intentional misconduct; and third, a functional hermeneutic reading reveals an ethical orientation toward mercy, proportionality, and the preservation of human dignity. These findings support a dignity-centered interpretive framework that affirms waria as legitimate worshippers (mushallî) and full moral subjects within the Muslim community.

Abstract

The most important goal in human life is to achieve happiness, and because people are subject to certain ideas and beliefs and have a different system of thought, it has led to different interpretations of happiness. If the Sufis interpret happiness around the orbit of inner happiness in the soul, not related to material achievements such as money, children, prestige, offspring, and others, then this is different from the interpretation of the happiness of two Muslim philosophers, Ibn Sīnā and al-Fārābī. In this article, with a descriptive-analytical method and using library resources, we first try to study the lexicon of the word happiness and the views of other thinkers in this regard, in the following, what are happiness, the levels of happiness, and the classification of happiness in the intellectual system of Ibn Sīnā and al-Fārābī. Happiness in Ibn Sīnā and al-Fārābī's thought is the same concern of human perfectionism from the beginning of creation, and this has caused these two philosophers to discuss this in their different works, and both philosophers do not know human happiness as anything other than reaching God and His pleasure.

Abstract

The Melukat ritual, a Balinese Hindu spiritual purification practice that has recently gained popularity as “healing” content on TikTok, has become a site of religious identity contestation among Indonesian Muslims. This study examines how the hadith on Tashabbuh (“Whoever imitates a people is one of them”) is negotiated in the comments section of the content “Muslim but Practicing Melukat in Bali?” by the account @kadamsidik00. Previous studies have tended to separate analyses of offline Hindu-Islamic cultural syncretism from theological debates and rarely connect them to the dynamics of digital platforms. Existing scholarship has paid limited attention to how classical doctrines such as Tashabbuh are affectively and algorithmically negotiated within TikTok comment sections. Drawing on a four-phase non-participatory netnography (investigation, interaction, immersion, integration) of 200 selected comments, the findings reveal that the Contra cluster predominates (49%) characterized by public regret and repentance, followed by the Ambivalent cluster (23%) that actively seeks fiqh clarification, and the Pro/Acculturative cluster that employs local cultural analogies. Creators establish authority through selective likes and minimalist responses. Theoretically, these findings expand the frameworks of “Networked Religion” (Campbell) and “Cyber-Islamic Environments” (Bunt) by introducing algorithmic religious authority and affective identity negotiation as mechanisms for negotiating Islamic identity in the algorithmic era of the Global South. This study demonstrates that TikTok functions as a dynamic arena where religious boundaries are continuously reproduced and negotiated through affective interactions and platform logic.
