MUHAMMAD SA’ID AL-‘ASHMAWI (Mencabar Pemikirannya tentang Penerapan Syarî’ah di Mesir)

Abstrac: The  rise  of  a  vigorous  and  sometimes  violent  Islamist movement  in  Egypt  has  attracted  considerable  attention from  scholars.  Less  attention  has  been  given  to  those  who have  responded  to  this  challenge  at  the  level  of  ideological debate. One of these is a prominent judge, Muhammad Sa’id al-‘Ashmawi. He  argues that  the call  for the  "application  of the  syarî’ah"  (tathbîq  al-sharî’ah),  watchwords  of the  Islamist movement,  are  in  reality  little  more  than  empty  slogans, designed  to  get  popular  support  for  a  political  venture  but extremely vague and probably insignificant in substance. In time,  however,  its meaning  expanded,  first  to  include  all  of the rules for worship and society found in the Qur’ân, then those in the sunna of the Prophet, and finally all the opinions and  judgments  of  the  scholars  (ijtihâd).  But  these  opinions and judgments are properly called fiqh, and the final result of the  development  is  that  in  common  usage  the  term  syarî’ah has  come  to  mean  fiqh.Those  who  use  the  slogan,  however, are  in  fact  calling  for the  application  oí  fiqh,  that  is,  a  set  of rules  and  laws  devised  by  humans,  not  God,  to  meet historical  conditions  of  the  past  which  no  longer  obtain.  In discussing  ribä,  al-cAshmawi  holds  that  current  Egyptian law  essentially  conforms to the  syarî’ah.  The  same  is true  of the rest of Egyptian law.
Key words: Syarî’ah, fiqh, prinsip-prinsip syarî’ah, dan ribâ
