Abstract

Feminist scholarship has advanced reinterpretive approaches grounded in principles of justice and gender equality. These approaches seek to deconstruct entrenched patriarchal biases in Quranic Interpretation. They validate women’s knowledge and experiences as authoritative epistemic sources. The Congress of Indonesian Women Ulama (KUPI) places women's bodily experiences at the center of its gender-fair Quranic interpretation. This article aims to explore the epistemological basis of such interpretation. It does so by examining women’s bodily experiences, interpretive strategies, and implications. Using primary sources, including official KUPI documents and relevant literature, this study employs content analysis from a feminist standpoint theory by Harding. The study concludes that KUPI recognizes the unique experience of women's bodily experiences as an epistemological base of interpretation. KUPI has a strategy to integrate women's perspectives and experiences in reading the Quranic text. This process begins with problem identification and reflection, and proceeds to the construction of a re-narration of verse interpretation. KUPI's choice to utilize women's bodily experiences supports the documentation of women's experiences and the transformation of women's body knowledge into collective knowledge and communal narratives. This process legitimizes women’s bodily experiences as new, legitimate, and authoritative knowledge. KUPI's interpretative model affirms women’s bodily experience as an epistemic subject. This study contributes to Quranic scholarship on feminist tafsir or exegesis. It asserts women’s bodily experiences as an epistemic authority in Quranic exegesis, breaking masculine dominance and producing an Indonesian gender-fair interpretation.

Abstract

The publication of al-Sunnah al-Nabawîyyah bayna Ahl al-Fiqh wa Ahl al-Hadîth (1989) by Muhammad al-Ghazâlî sparked major controversy in the modern Islamic intellectual landscape due to its bold critique of the prevailing tendency toward literalism in the understanding of hadith. The central problem underlying al-Ghazâlî’s thought is the dominance of a textualist approach that rejects rationality and ethical considerations in interpreting the Prophet’s Sunnah. Hadith literalism, he argues, has distanced Islamic teachings from the moral spirit and contextual sensitivity inherent in the objectives of the maqâsid al-sharî‘ah. The present study aims to trace the rational and ethical foundations of Muhammad al-Ghazâlî’s methodology of hadith criticism, and to understand the socio-historical conditions that shaped his views on the relationship between the Quran and the Sunnah. Employing a qualitative research design, this study relies on library-based inquiry into al-Ghazâlî’s primary works and relevant secondary literature. It further applies an ethical-hermeneutical approach to uncover the moral orientation underlying his critique of the literalist tendencies within ahl al-hadith. The findings indicate that Muhammad al-Ghazâlî proposes a dynamic interpretive methodology for hadith interpretation grounded in reason, ethics, and contextual relevance, as part of an effort to revitalize the authority of the Sunnah so that it remains vibrant and capable of engaging with the challenges of modernity. This article contributes to contemporary hadith studies by situating Muhammad al-Ghazâlî’s critique within ongoing debates on literalist interpretation and by reconstructing a more rational and ethically attuned understanding of hadith. By highlighting al-Ghazâlî’s epistemological approach, which evaluates the substance of hadith in light of Quranic values, the study enriches methodological discourse and underscores the dynamic role of the sunnah and its relevance for modern Muslim life.

Abstract

Tafsîr bi al-maʾthûr holds a central position in Quranic interpretation as an authoritative approach grounded in transmitted sources. In contemporary Quranic studies, however, renewed debates concerning the reliability of riwâyah, the authority of hadith, and the methodological foundations of classical tafsîr underscore the urgency of reassessing the formative contributions of early scholars. This study addresses the need by examining al-Bukhârî’s role to the epistemological and methodological foundations of tafsîr bi al-maʾthûr, with particular attention to his exegetical practices in the kitâb al-tafsîr section of Șâḥîḥ al-Bukhârî. Employing a qualitative library-based approach, this article analyzes Șâḥîḥ al-Bukhârî as the primary source alongside classical and later tafsîr works grounded in the maʾthûr tradition. Data are examined using a relevance-and-impact analytical framework to assess both the immediate and enduring influence of al-Bukhârî’s contributions on the development of Quranic interpretive sciences. This approach enables an evaluation of al-Bukhârî not merely as a compiler of hadith but as a formative architect of exegetical methodology. The findings demonstrate that al-Bukhârî’s contribution to tafsîr bi al-maʾthûr extends beyond the preservation of prophetic reports. He significantly promoted institutionalizing riwâyah as a source of tafsîr, formulating methodological principles for source selection, and conceptualizing standards of authenticity that continue to inform exegetical practice. His rigorous validation of sanad established a systematic and selective model of Quranic interpretation that profoundly influenced subsequent tafsîr traditions. This study contributes to contemporary Quranic scholarship by clarifying the methodological legacy of al-Bukhârî and demonstrating its continued relevance for evaluating transmitted sources in modern interpretive debates.
