Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Majelis Tarjih and Tajdid of Muhammadiyah\u2019s\nCentral Leadership states that social concern is one of the primary\nrationales (\u2019illat) in the fatwa permitting the slaughter of dam animals\nin Indonesia.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the development of discussions in the Majelis Tarjih, we see that\nthe strongest rationale for dam slaughter is social concern. The most\ntangible message of piety in the context of qurban, dam, and hadyu is\nthe message of social concern,\u201d said Member of Majelis Tarjih and Tajdid\nEndang Mintarja in Jakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Previously, Muhammadiyah\u2019s Central Leadership through the Majelis\nTarjih and Tajdid officially issued a fatwa allowing the slaughter of\ndam hajj animals in Indonesia. This policy aims to benefit the ummah,\navoid waste, and ensure that dam meat is more useful and targeted\nappropriately.<\/p>\n
Endang explained that this conclusion was reached through in-depth\nstudies of Quranic verses, hadiths, and views of previous scholars. From\nthis study, the understanding has strengthened that dam meat must be\ndistributed to those who are entitled and in need.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe benefits must be guaranteed, felt by everyone. Not just people\nthere (in the Haram land),\u201d said Endang.<\/p>\n
According to him, the current factual conditions in Saudi Arabia show\nlimitations in dam beneficiaries due to relatively high welfare levels.\nEven, meat distribution in that region is considered excessive.<\/p>\n
In this context, the Saudi Arabian Government is said to welcome the\nidea of distributing dam outside its territory, including to Indonesia.\nThis is seen as aligned with broader welfare objectives.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis ijtihad not only has a strong sharia basis but also receives\npolitical support from the Indonesian and Saudi governments. There is a\nkind of \u2018green light\u2019 from both sides,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
If carried out outside the Haram Land, including in Indonesia, it is\ninvalid. This is based on Fatwa Number 41 of 2011 on the Slaughter of\nDam Animals for Hajj Tamattu\u2019 Outside the Haram Land.<\/p>\n
This fatwa was established in Jakarta on 24 October 2011 CE\/26\nDzulqaidah 1432 H, signed by Hasanuddin AF as chairman and KH Asrorun\nNiam Sholeh as secretary.<\/p>\n
In response to the MUI fatwa, Endang said dialogue with that\ninstitution is still ongoing. He emphasised that the relationship\nbetween MUI and Islamic social organisations is equal, so each has\nindependence in ijtihad.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the relationship between MUI and Islamic social\norganisations is equal. So equal that ijtihads between one and another\nare independent of each other. In this case, Muhammadiyah still respects\nother differing opinions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He affirmed that the fatwa issued by Majelis Tarjih and Tajdid\nMuhammadiyah remains based on sharia principles and does not deviate\nfrom the framework of classical scholarly thought.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe assure that in issuing this fatwa at the same time, we also\nrespect other opinions that do not align with the Majelis Tarjih and\nTajdid fatwa,\u201d said Endang.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/social-concern-as-the-primary-rationale-for-fatwa-allowing-dam-slaughter-in-indonesia-1777373695", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
