Kritik Hadith dalam Perspektif Studi Kontemporer
Abstract: Critical studies of
hadîth do not always aim at arguing against the legitimacy of hadîth as one of
the sources of Islamic Law. Nor do it doubt –like many orientalist would do-
the authenticity of the hadîth as a source of Islamic teaching. Critical studies
of hadîth are about investigating the accuracy and validity of the narration
chain. Considering that many hadîths take a long period of time before they are
being narrated, inaccuracy might have taken place in that process. Therefore a
critique is needed. In the context of contemporary life, a critique is even
more needed especially that which looks at hadîth in terms of its relation with
modern science, technology, gender issues, human rights, freedom of expression,
and so on. This paper discusses the notion of the critical studies of hadîth in
contemporary life by focusing on four issues (1) the cognitive foundation of
the studies, (2) the objects of the critique, (3) the necessity of the
critique, and (4) the normative standards of the critique.
