Abstract

This study examines the practice of alms on behalf of the deceased from the perspective of NU and Muhammadiyah, with a case study in Tanjung Morawa District, Deli Serdang Regency. This alms is a tradition to pray and ask for forgiveness for the deceased, having religious and social meaning in Muslim society. The goal is to understand the concepts, procedures, and views of the laws and Islamic teachings of the two organizations in forming alms practices in the region. A normative-empirical approach with a comparative method is used, with a normative focus on the study of the Qur'an, hadith, and fatwa of NU (Bahtsul Masail) and Muhammadiyah (Tarjih) on the law of alms for the deceased. Data was collected through interviews with 10 informants (religious leaders, communities, residents who have given alms) and a study of documentation from written sources, archives, and fatwas. The results of the research show differences in interpretation: NU allows alms on behalf of the deceased with merits to the deceased based on authentic hadith narrated by Muslims, while Muhammadiyah states that charity is cut off after death except for three things according to the words of the Prophet PBUH. Empirically, the majority of the people of Tanjung Morawa follow NU because it is in line with tradition and filial values. This research is innovative by connecting the theological differences between the two CSOs and local social practices in an integrative manner.
