Mas Danar, Terima kasih banyak atas sharing Fatwa. Mudah-mudahan banyak kepala yang mengerti apa sebenarnya Fatwa itu.
Bukannya ada Hukum Tuhan yang mengatakan bahwa jangan menjadikan Patung untuk disembah. Karena menyembah Patung adalah perbuatan Kafir/Musyrik.Oleh karena itulah Muhammad yang menyingkirkan banyak Patung-Patung dewa Arab disekitar Kabbah dan mengenalkan Allah Yang Maha Kuasa. Patung adalah buatan Manusia, Uang, Makanan serta benda yang lain adalah buatan Manusia. Begitu pula dengan Agama adalah buatan Manusia, apalagi Fatwa yang adalah hasil pemikiran, perkataan & perbuatan manusia. Kalau kita mendewakan hasil pemikiran, perkataan & perbuatan manusia bukannya sama dengan mendewakan Patung. Kembalilah pada Hakekat Manusia sebenarnya. Bahwa manusia adalah milik dan ciptaan Sang Khalik. Salam Humanisme, ^(J)^ -----Original Message----- From: Danardono HADINOTO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] A fatwa (Arabic: ÝÊæì) plural 'fataawa', is a legal pronouncement in Islam, issued by a religious law specialist on a specific issue. Usually a fatwa is issued at the request of an individual or a judge to settle a question where fiqh, Islamic jurisprudence, is unclear. A scholar capable of issuing fataawa is known as a Mufti. Because there is no central Islamic priesthood, there is also no unanimously accepted method to determine who can issue a fatwa and who cannot, leading some Islamic scholars to complain that too many people feel qualified to issue fatwas. In both theory and practice, different Islamic clerics can issue contradictory fatwas. What happens then depends on whether one lives in a nation where Islamic law (sharia) is the basis of civil law, or if one lives where Islamic law has no legal status. It should be noted that many nations in which Muslims make up a majority of the population do not recognize Islamic law as the basis of civil law. In nations based on Islamic law, fatwas by the national religious leadership are debated before being issued and are decided upon by consensus. In such cases, they are rarely contradictory, and they carry the status of enforceable law. If two fatwas are contradictory, the ruling bodies (which combine civil and religious law) effect a compromise interpretation which is followed as law. In nations that do not recognize Islamic law, religious Muslims are often confronted with two competing fatwas. In such a case, they would follow the fatwa of the leader in the same religious tradition as themselves. Thus, for example, Sunni Muslims would not hold to the fatwa of a Shiite cleric. Fatwa Arabic: fatwâ Fatwa is a legal statement in Islam, issued by a mufti or a religious lawyer, on a specific issue. Fatwas are asked for by judges or individuals, and are needed in cases where a issue of fiqh is undecided or uncertain. Lawsuits can be settled on the basis of a fatwa. It is vital that a fatwa is not based upon the muftis or lawyers own will and ideas, he must render it in accordance with fixed precedent. Today, fatwas have limited importance in most Muslim societies, and are normally used only in cases of marriage, inheritance and divorce. The importance of a fatwa depends on its acceptance among most people, and if people don't care about it, it is in reality powerless. tony picasso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb:Perbedaan pendapat mengenai fatwa dr MUI, menurut saya OK2 saja. Ini ada sedikit cuplikan mengenai Fatwa yg saya ambil dr Islamic dictionary: fatwa An Islamic decree issued by a mufti or a religious lawyer on a specific issue. A fatwa has no weight unless accepted by the community of scholars; their consensus is recognized as legal opinion to be followed. Islam has no central authority, which allows diversity of opinion, though major scholars agree on core issues. ------------------------ Yahoo!
