Interaksi Power dan Knowledge dalam Konstruksi Mazhab Fiqih dalam Perspektif Historis
Abstract: This paper deals
with the development of the term madhhab in the history of Islamic law. As a
vital concept in Islamic law, the meaning of madhhab has undergone several
changes. At first, it was related only to a personal opinion of a mujtahid.
Then it was related to a view of ulama belonging to a particular school of
thought, and finally it is understood as a doctrinal opinion with distinctive
legal concepts and methodologies controlled by the authority of the ulama who
occupy the axis of the madhhab hierarchy. Some madhhabs have gone extinct due
to their irrelevant concepts, but some others managed to survive due to their
ability to make a “great synthesis” between reason and revelation, text and
context. Some of these surviving madhhabs have even become the official madhhab
of a Muslim state and made obvious contribution in the formation of Islamic law
in that particular country. It is to this issue that this paper is mainly
concerned with.
