Abstract

This study is motivated by interpretation and followed by an understanding of the position of men and women, which discredits one party. This research focuses on the thoughts of the philosopher Amina Wadud, a reformist Muslim thinker, in interpreting the Qur'an with her work Qur'an and Women. The purpose of this study is to discuss domestic violence further. This research is qualitative; the data were obtained from library sources, with the primary source from the Qur'an and Women. Data processing is done by grouping, reduction, and codification. Meanwhile, in data analysis, Hans-Georg Gadamer's Hermeneutical approach is that of intelligence subtility–how to understand (das Verstehen), explicandi subtility–how to explain (dem Auslegen), and applicandi subtility–how to apply (das Anwenden). The research results obtained in this article demonstrate that the interpretation of Amina Wadud does not violate Islamic teachings. Values and forms of deconstruction of understanding are by and refer to the Qur'an. Amina Wadud said that the Qur'an, in substance, never teaches the use of violence to solve family problems, especially in marital relations. The meaning that can be concluded is deliberation in solving issues by placing husband and wife in the same position because all human beings are equal before God.
