Abstract

This study examines the contrasting legal perspectives of Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) on the practice of bestowing the rewards of worship (īṣāl al-thawāb) to the deceased—an enduring and widespread tradition among many Indonesian Muslims. The purpose of this research is to explore the theological and methodological foundations underlying each organization's stance and to identify the broader implications of these differing views for Islamic legal discourse in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative, comparative approach, the study utilizes literature-based analysis and in-depth interviews to investigate fatwas issued by Muhammadiyah’s Tarjih Council and NU’s Bahtsul Masail. The findings reveal a sharp divergence: Muhammadiyah rejects the practice, considering it unsupported by scriptural evidence and classifying it as bid‘ah (religious innovation), while NU legitimizes the practice based on ijmaʿ (consensus), qiyās (analogy), and long-standing tradition, especially in communal rituals like tahlilan. The originality of this research lies in its focused comparison of the legal reasoning (istinbāṭ al-ḥukm) used by Indonesia’s two largest Islamic organizations, which reflects deeper epistemological tensions between scripturalist and traditionalist orientations in contemporary Islamic jurisprudence. The study has broader implications for understanding how Islamic authority is negotiated in pluralistic societies and how divergent methodologies shape religious practices at the grassroots level. These findings contribute to ongoing discussions on the role of legal pluralism, tradition, and reform in shaping Indonesian Islamic identity.

Abstract

Marriage which is ideally understood as an eternal bond, has not been fully realized in practice. Data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) indicate an increase in divorce rates in West Sumatra from 2020 to 2022. In 2020, there were 291,677 divorce cases, which rose to 447,743 cases in 2021 and further increased to 516,334 cases in 2022. Mediation, which is expected to be the most effective means of reducing divorce rates, has not yet yielded optimal results. This study aims to analyze divorce mediation in Minangkabau society from the perspective of Tafsir Al-Azhar. The topics discussed include: (1) the concept of divorce mediation in Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2016 on Court Mediation, (2) the role of culture in divorce mediation practices within Minangkabau society, and (3) the concept of mediation from the perspective of Tafsir Al-Azhar. The research method used is a normative study with a descriptive analysis approach. The findings indicate that a culturally based approach in the mediation process is a strategic solution that mediators can utilize to optimize the function of mediation. Furthermore, integrating the cultural values of society with the Supreme Court's policies aligns with the mediation concept mandated in the Qur'an, as interpreted by Hamka in Tafsir Al-Azhar.
