SUICIDE TERRORISM: MENELUSURI JUSTIFIKASI FIKIH DALAM LITERATUR JIHAD KONTEMPORER
Abstract: This paper deals
with the issue of suicide terrorism or suicidal bombing which has been used as
a serious tactic by terrorist organizations or radical and puritan religious
movements. The motive behind this kind of action varies greatly, ranging from
religious, cultural, political, to social issues. In the literatures on
jiha>d, there are various points of view regarding the legality and validity
of suicidal attack. First, those who allow this act and regard it as a part of
the tactic and strategy of jiha>d, such as radical islamist movements
(Salafi-jiha>dists). Second, those who allow it on several conditions, such
as Salafi-intellectual (salafiyyah ‘ilmiyyah) and Salafi-reformists (salafiyyah
is}la>hiyyah). Third, those who prohibit this act absolutely, such as
Salafi-wahha>bists (salafiyyah wahha>biyyah), who based their arguments
on the assumption that this is regarded as the act that is prohibited in Islam,
and there is no legal precedence in the history of Islamic law that allows the
attack to civil people (women, children, and old men) and non-military targets.
