Egalitarianisme Fiqh Muâmalah dalam Sistem Ekonomi Islam
Abstract: This paper tries to
explore the fact that transaction constitutes the most important aspect of
Islamic jurisprudence, commonly called fiqh. The paper tries to deal with this
aspect in terms of the legal thought of Islam and relates it with the modern
concept of egalitarianism. It argues that although egalitarianism becomes the
most important value in the legal thought of Islam—as it is clear in the
concept of transaction—the tension toward establishing this value has not been
easy. This paper hence, does not deal merely with the normative aspect of the
value, but also the history behind its establishment. In a way, the paper
understands that both the concept of transaction in Islamic legal thought and
the concept of egalitarianism share common grounds in that both are about
equality, justice, right and obligation. Equality is strongly upheld in Islamic
legal thoughts so much so that it is considered as the most driving legal concept
in Islamic economics. Hence, the paper partly argues that the characteristic of
Islamic economics is equality, nothing else.
