SOSIOLOGI PEMBERDAYAAN FIKIH: Meneguhkan Perspektif Interkoneksitas
Abstract: The presence of new
paradigm in reading fiqh isn’t always welcomed friendly, considering that fiqh
has had it’s own paradigm and metodological
superiority that taken
care by its devotees. Actually,
paradigmatical superiority isn’t the monopoly
of fiqh, but
also various other
studies, including ‘secular’
sciences. The difference is, that ‘secular’ sciences are easier
in accepting academical
falcification, comparing with
Fiqh sciences.
Historically, fiqh has
a long historical
product of human being
that preserved by
ulama institution and
often also by the regime of power. Fiqh isn’t just a
scientific book, but a guidance of human’s life
that standardized and
preservated from time to time and place to place. As the product of
time, fiqh is well
dominated by arabic
aroma, which is
than transfered to Indonesia without any significance changes.
Fiqh gets institutional
justification through formal
or non-formal religious
institutions. Althought undeniable,
most of those institutions
have obtained academical
enlightenment, at least them,
the actors inside
whose heart and
logical reasoning motivated to effort and act critically to ‘the purity of
fiqh’ which tend to be elitic and less responsive to the weak and
sensitive groups, for
instance the women,
the disabled and the poor.
Actually, fiqh isn’t as dry as its
critic’s imagine, because its study
always accompanied by
fiqh principle study
and humanis ushul fiqh. But unfortunately, as fiqh moving to the axiological area,
the humanis spirit
seems weaker, blocked by the various primordial interests.
Basically, interest fraxis is a natural
phenomenon in academical
world, moreover Law Politic area.
But the problem is, as these interests don’t get equal partners in interest
dialogs, the out come isn’t democratic spirit but domination and hegemony. The
product is dominative or
hegemonic fiqh, not democratic
or profetic fiqh.
Being stimulated by
these atmospheres, it’s
needed the sociology of
powering fiqh which is
friendly and responsive to the women, the disabled and the
poor. The confirmation of powering fiqh is a profetic attitude must be done, in
order to make fiqh of Indonesian sect isn’t restrained by the arabism, logoncentrism
and tyranny.
