Abstract

The Indonesian Ulema Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia, MUI) was stigmatised as an institution accommodating conservative Islamic groups’ interests post-New Order. However, the religious fatwas produced by the MUI during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 had prioritised independence so that it returned to its original role, namely as a translator of government policies. For this reason, this article aims to examine the MUI fatwas and its relationship to state policies in tackling the spread of Covid-19. It is a qualitative research study with a historical approach, examining the content of seven fatwas issued by the Fatwa Commission (Komisi Fatwa) between March and July 2020 as the primary data sources. This study found that MUI’s legal arguments and methods are more inclusive, flexible, and progressive towards socio-religious problems. These fatwas have become a reference for the government in taking policies to suppress the spread of Covid-19. It is reinforced by the fact that several fatwas issued by MUI were used as guidelines by the government in formulating policies to curb the spread of Covid-19. Therefore, the authors argue that the MUI’s fatwa politics not only serve the interests of the Muslim community but also align with the state’s interests in tackling the spread of Covid-19. Thus, the debate regarding the stigmatisation of the role of MUI can be dismissed through these findings, providing new insights into the dynamic interplay between religious and legal frameworks.

Abstract

This article examines the dynamic interactions between religious movements and state authorities by comparing two distinct Islamic organizations: the Indonesian Islamic Da’wah Institute (Lembaga Dakwah Islam Indonesia, LDII) in Indonesia and the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwanul Muslimin, IM) in Egypt. Both organizations, rooted in Islamic principles, have forged complex relationships with their respective states, yet their paths reflect divergent approaches shaped by unique national contexts. LDII, operating within Indonesia’s pluralistic democracy, which Pancasila underpins, has strategically adapted to national norms. Despite past controversies, LDII has embraced a pragmatic approach, emphasizing Quran and Hadith-based teachings, actively participating in socio-economic initiatives, formalizing its organizational structure, and collaborating with government programs. This demonstrates a flexible alignment with Indonesia’s emphasis on national unity and religious moderation. In stark contrast, Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, once a dominant political force, faced an existential threat following the 2013 military coup. Forced into exile, the IM has largely maintained an ideologically rigid stance in opposition to the state. By analyzing these two cases, this study highlights how contextual factors, ranging from political systems and state ideologies to historical trajectories and internal organizational dynamics, profoundly shape the strategies employed by religious movements to survive and thrive within state-religion frameworks.
