Abstract

This study examines the practice of female circumcision in Palopo City from the perspective of living hadith, which integrates religious and cultural teachings in daily life. The practice of female circumcision, although controversial, is still practiced in Palopo as part of family and community traditions. This study uses the living hadith approach to understand how the people of Palopo interpret and apply the hadith related to female circumcision in their local context. The findings show that female circumcision is seen as a form of fulfilling religious teachings and maintaining the purity and honor of girls, while also being an important rite of passage in the local culture. However, with increasing awareness of health and human rights issues, there have been changes in views and practices among communities. This research provides insight into the complexity of the interaction between religious and cultural teachings in the practice of female circumcision in Palopo City, and the importance of a holistic and contextual approach in understanding and addressing this issue.

Abstract

Islam is a religion that upholds the values of justice and equal rights between men and women, but the understanding of the Indonesian Muslim community is still wrong with the teachings of Islam. One of the reasons includes misunderstanding of misogynistic hadiths, namely hadiths that editorially seem to demean women. This study aims to explore Islamic feminists’ rejection of the textual understanding of misogynistic hadiths to uphold gender justice. This Islamic feminist stance needs to receive support so that gender justice is in line with Islamic law. This research uses empirical qualitative methods by analyzing the theory of understanding hadith and gender theory. The study obtained data from interviews and a literature review. The respondents interviewed were academics, NGO activists, and community leaders, while the literature included journal articles, books, and Islamic textbooks on Islamic law. The study took place in Makassar City, Indonesia from September 2022 to March 2023. Findings reveal that Islamic feminists in Makassar City criticize the textual interpretations of misogynistic hadiths as they demean women’s dignity and are not in accordance with the values of Islamic teachings. If analyzed from a gender perspective, Islamic feminists have played an important role in fighting for gender equality in a religious context. Meanwhile, in the context of hadith understanding theory, a contextual approach is needed to provide a comprehensive understanding of society so that gender justice is realized. The contribution of this study is that the Islamic feminist perspective that reviews misogynistic hadith through a contextual approach helps provide inspiration and direction for other efforts to encourage social change and gender justice.

Abstract

This study investigates how hustling culture narratives on Instagram mediate and alter Qur’anic authority through mechanisms of epistemic justice. This study seeks to examine the methods, processes, and consequences of selecting and interpreting Qur’anic verses in religious content on Instagram. The study utilises a qualitative design, integrating textual and visual analysis of three intentionally chosen Instagram accounts: : @alqurancustomku, @lanternoflightofficial, and @ssheikh00 that actively participate in productivity and motivational discourse. The approach employs an interdisciplinary framework that incorporates text reception theory, framing theory, hermeneutics, and viewpoints on algorithmic mediation in digital religion. The findings indicate that Qur’anic passages are often decontextualized and deliberately reframed to conform to the principles of hustle culture, emphasising motivational appeal, aesthetic presentation, and audience involvement at the expense of exegetical depth. This approach produces several forms of epistemic distortion, such as selective quoting, oversimplification of meaning, and the use of scripture as a rhetorical tool. The study reveals a notable transition in interpretive authority from conventional religious experts to digital content providers, driven by platform algorithms that enhance visibility and virality. This study theoretically advances the field of digital Islam by introducing the concept of epistemic distortion as a framework for understanding the reconfiguration of religious texts within algorithmic contexts. The text contends that Qur’anic authority is no longer exclusively based on scholarly tradition but is increasingly influenced by platform dynamics, resulting in the phenomenon known as “algorithmic piety.” This reconfiguration signifies wider changes in the interplay between religion, media, and power in the Global South. This study highlights the impact of algorithmic mediation on the sustainability of religious knowledge and authority in contemporary Islam by contextualising local digital activities within global discussions on religion and media
