Review of Islamic Law on the Practice of Tahlilan in Indonesia

Abstract

The emergence of various forms of complex problems among Muslims is a challenge that must be passed. In order to overcome the emergence of various forms of problems that occur in the global era, it is very possible for people from different continents and countries to be able to interact. Thus, efforts are needed to understand Islamic law in terms of various aspects that accompany problems in this global era. This research consists of 2 (two) issues, namely the implementation of Tahlilan in Indonesia for Muslims and a review of Islamic law on Tahlilan to manifest grace for the ummah. This research method uses a juridical-normative approach with primary, secondary and tertiary legal sources which are analyzed using a descriptive-analytical approach. The results of the study explain that Tahlilan is a form of religious practice that has roots but is inseparable from controversy, namely Tahlilan activities in Indonesia. Originally, Tahlilan was only carried out after someone's death, but now it has become a religious activity that colors almost all community activities. Tahlilan in terms of Islamic law states that a study is not only based on the arguments of the Al- Qur'an and hadith texts, but also seriously considers customs for drawing conclusions. The issue of whether or not a law, such as Tahlilan, does not only use naqliyah arguments, but can be strengthened by local wisdom values as a basis for legal reference that is polite, gentle, right on target, easy to accept and apply in their lives.
