Abstract

Although many studies have focussed on the application of social change and ta’wil theories; none of them have concentrated on the use of both theories simultaneously in understanding musykil al-ahadiths. This paper analyzed the application of social change and ta’wil theories in understanding musykil al-ahadiths and their contribution to the development of Shariah Economic Law (SEL) reform in Indonesia. Data were gained through indepth interview with some members of National Shariah Board (DSN) of Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) and literature study of Shariah Legislation Regulations and the DSN Fatwa (Legal Advice) on some issues of SEL reform such as Current Account, Savings, and Deposits. This study revealed that social change and ta’wil theories have been strong driver and technically played important role in understanding musykil al-ahadiths in giving significant contribution to the development of SEL in Indonesia. Ta’wil, especially in the Ushul al-Syafi’iyyah school which preferred what the word probably means in its context, has become very popular theory among the members of DSN in understanding musykil al-ahadiths. This finding gives a clear picture on how using social change and ta’wil theories in understanding sacred texts, the Holy Qur’an, Hadiths, Bible, Torah, and others in order to practice their teaching in the real life.
