Abstract

Maqāṣid al-shariah, which refers to the aim or goal intended by Islamic law to benefit humankind, is closely related to the issuance of fatwas. This condition raises the question of whether maqāṣid al-shariah is fully considered in the fatwa issuance process in Malaysia. The methodology used in issuing fatwas in Malaysia is unique as the Shafie school is the primary reference, and the methodology aims to create a systematic fatwa management system in preserving unity. However, the approach does not generally embrace maqāṣid al-shariah, such as freedom, and favors an easier option (al-taysīr) to examine diverse views outside the Shafie school. This condition raises questions about the capability of the sectarian methodology practiced in the current issuance of fatwas and whether the fatwa methodology tied to the Shafie school can manifest maqāṣid al-shariah in every law. This paper aims to examine the achievement of maqāṣid al-shariah in the fatwa methodology that contains the strong tradition and influence of the Shafie school. Through inductive, deductive, and comparative document research, this study revealed three main findings. First, maqāṣid al-shariah in the fatwa methodology in Malaysia is applied through shariah arguments parallel with the uṣul al-fiqh framework. Second, the Malaysian fatwa methodology that references the final view of the Shafie school is intended to achieve uniformity and unity among the Muslim-majority community in Malaysia, which coincides with maqṣad wihdatul ummah. Third, when maṣlahah is not achieved in certain circumstances, views of schools other than the Shafie school can be consulted.

Abstract

This article aims to reconstruct the meaning of fasād (enviromental damage) in the Qur’an through a tafsir maqāṣidīapproach, serving as a theological response to the issue of global warming. Contemporary phenomena of environmental degradation, such as pollution, deforestation, and extreme climate change, are understood as tangible manifestations of the concept of fasād, as referenced in Q.S. Ar-Rūm: 41. This study employs qualitative research methods, utilizing library sources and the maqāṣidī interpretative approach as its analytical framework. The findings indicate that the understanding of ecological verses has evolved from classical textual interpretations to scientific and logical approaches during the medieval period, and further to contextual interpretations that address contemporary environmental challenges. The reconstruction of the meaning of fasād is highly relevant in developing an Islamic ecotheology paradigm and supports the establishment of a civilized and sustainable society. This study emphasizes that tackling global warming necessitates not only technical and scientific solutions, but also spiritual and ethical approaches grounded in revealed values. The maqāṣidī interpretation offers an integrative and transformative analytical framework for understanding fasād as a moral failure of humanity in fulfilling the mandate of khilāfah on earth. Environmental preservation requires the integration of religious and moral dimensions as the ethical foundation for collective action within the Muslim community, with the maqāṣidī approach serving as a normative basis for Islamic ecological policies aimed at fostering sustainable ecological awareness and facilitating constructive dialogues between theology, environmental science, and public policy in comprehensively addressing the climate crisis.Abstrak: Artikel ini bertujuan untuk merekonstruksi makna fasād (kerusakan lingkungan) dalam Al-Qur’an melalui pendekatan tafsir maqāṣidī sebagai respons teologis terhadap isu pemanasan global. Fenomena kerusakan lingkungan kontemporer seperti pencemaran, deforestasi, dan perubahan iklim ekstrem dipahami sebagai manifestasi nyata dari konsep fasād sebagaimana disebutkan dalam Q.S. Ar-Rūm: 41. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kualitatif yang memanfaatkan sumber-sumber pustaka serta menggunakan pendekatan tafsir maqashidi sebagai pisau analisisnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman terhadap ayat-ayat ekologis telah mengalami perkembangan dari tafsir klasik tekstual, menuju pendekatan ilmiah dan logis di era pertengahan, hingga tafsir kontekstual yang responsif terhadap tantangan lingkungan kontemporer. Rekonstruksi makna fasād ini memiliki relevansi penting dalam membangun paradigma ekoteologi Islam serta mendukung pembangunan peradaban yang berkeadaban dan berkelanjutan. Studi ini menegaskan bahwa penanggulangan pemanasan global tidak hanya membutuhkan solusi teknis dan ilmiah, tetapi juga pendekatan spiritual dan etis berbasis nilai-nilai wahyu. Tafsir maqāṣidī memberikan kerangka analisis integratif dan transformatif dalam memahami fasād sebagai kegagalan moral manusia dalam menjalankan mandat khilāfah di bumi. Pelestarian lingkungan menuntut integrasi dimensi religius dan moral sebagai fondasi etis dalam tindakan kolektif masyarakat Muslim, dengan pendekatan tafsir maqāṣidī yang berperan sebagai dasar normatif bagi kebijakan ekologis berwawasan Islam, guna membangun kesadaran ekologis yang berkelanjutan serta membuka ruang dialog konstruktif antara teologi, ilmu lingkungan, dan kebijakan publik dalam merespons krisis iklim secara komprehensif.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of modern technology, particularly in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0), presents Muslims with a range of complex challenges, including ethical dilemmas and questions regarding the social impact of innovations such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology and digital media. These challenges are significant as they impact daily life and raise profound concerns about the preservation of religious values, identity and social order. While technological progress offers undeniable benefits, it also generates indirect risks that may be overlooked if assessed solely from a utilitarian or secular perspective. Against this backdrop, Islamic law, guided by the higher objectives of maqāṣid al-sharī`ah provides a principled and comprehensive framework for evaluating technological innovation, ensuring that developments remain aligned with core Islamic moral and ethical standards and ultimately promote human well-being in a holistic sense. Central to this approach are the concepts of al-thawābit (the immutable) and al-mutaghayyirāt (the changeable) which serve as critical tools for adapting Islamic legal rulings to new technological realities. This article adopts a library research and content analysis methodology to examine existing literature and provide a comprehensive understanding of Shariah’s role, specifically through the lens of maqāṣid al-sharī`ah in regulating technological advancements. The study concludes that although technology constitutes part of al-mutaghayyirāt and continues to evolve, the immutable principles of maqāṣid al-sharī`ah serve as an essential safeguard to ensure that technological change continues to advance the holistic well-being of humanity. In sum, the maqāṣid al-sharī`ah framework provides the critical criteria for balancing benefits and harms, ensuring that technological advancement ultimately serves the comprehensive well-being and public interest (maṣlaḥah) of humanity.
