Abstract

Non-Muslim leadership in Muslim-majority societies is a complex and dynamic topic, involving debates between classical and modern scholarly perspectives. The main issue addressed in this study is the differing views on the permissibility of non-Muslims holding leadership positions in Muslim societies and the relevance of leadership criteria in Islam. This study aims to explore the views of classical and modern scholars regarding non-Muslim leadership and to analyze the leadership criteria outlined in Islamic literature. The research method used is qualitative descriptive, with a library research approach. Data were gathered from various literary sources, including books, journals, and academic articles, and were analyzed in depth.The findings show that classical scholars generally reject non-Muslim leadership based on explicit prohibitions in religious texts. In contrast, modern scholars provide a contextual interpretation, stating that such prohibitions apply only in times of conflict or hostility. In peaceful and democratic contexts, non-Muslim leadership is considered acceptable. Additionally, this study highlights Islamic leadership criteria, which include faith, piety, physical and spiritual health, honesty, competence, justice, professionalism, responsibility, and trustworthiness.The conclusion of this study is that the debate on non-Muslim leadership requires an inclusive and contextual approach, given the social-political complexities of modern societies. Meanwhile, the criteria for Islamic leadership remain relevant in ensuring that leaders possess the integrity and capability to meet the needs of society justly and effectively.

Abstract

This study examines the legal status of cross-religious greetings through a textual legal interpretation analysis based on fatwas and the concept of religious moderation. This practice, often observed in official events, has sparked significant debate among Muslim scholars and government officials. The controversy escalated following a fatwa issued by the East Java Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI), which declared cross-religious greetings haram due to concerns about the potential mixing of beliefs. This stance was countered by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, which argued that such greetings promote interreligious harmony and are therefore permissible. Employing a literature-based approach and legal interpretation theory, this research provides an academic perspective without intending to discredit any party. The study concludes that cross-religious greetings are permissible (mubah) when intended to uphold national harmony and religious pluralism. It highlights the importance of balancing adherence to religious principles with the need for societal unity and coexistence in a pluralistic nation.
