Pemahaman Hadis Isbāl Dalam Perspektif Sosiologis

Abstract

Understanding of IsbÄl Hadiths in a Sociological Perspective

This study aims to further analyze the differences among Muslims in understanding the isbÄl hadith focused on two questions. First, whether the isbÄl prohibition contained in various pure hadiths is religious normativity or sociological reasons for particular interests. Second, how is the best way to understand the isbÄl hadith prohibition. The study of this issue uses a sociological approach and thematic correlative methods. The study results found that the hadiths that prohibit isbÄl are tasyri'iyyah hadith (legal /normative), but the law is not universal but conditional. It happens because the emergence of the hadiths prohibiting isbÄl is inseparable from the sociological factor at that time, which was a form of rejection of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH against the jahiliyyah  culture. The correlative study of the hadith found that 'illat  prohibiting isbÄl is khuyyala' (arrogance). The proper understanding of this hadith is a contextual understanding using the rules of ushul fiqh yadÅ«rul ḥukmi ma'a al-'illah wujÅ«dan wa'adaman (the application of the law is closely related to the presence or absence of 'illat).  The prohibition isbÄl  aimed specially for people who do it because of their arrogance, not to people who do it  without their arrogance
