Pengaruh Ikhtilâf al-Hadîth terhadap Penalaran Hukum Islam
Abstract: Difference of
opinion is highly respected in Islam. The Prophet of Islam is even reported to
have said that, “difference of opinion is divine providence”. This paper
tackles this issue particularly within the science of prophetic tradition, and
relates it to the way Muslim legalists develop the logics of law. The paper
first argues that difference of opinion is not only natural but also needed in
legal and social life. It is also—viewed in terms of social conflict—a
requirement for a social integration. The paper speaks of the two sources of
Islam—the Qur’ân and the prophetic tradition—as supportive of this difference
of opinion and shows that the prophet, his companions, and closest followers
are all involved in debate stemmed from their difference of opinion. This
difference is the natural consequence of the difference in the level of
understanding, different language, culture, way of thinking, custom, and the
extent to which the companions are in engaged in the activities of the prophet.
