Studi atas Penafsiran Ibn ‘Uṡaimin terhadap Q.S. Al- Al-Māidah (5): 64

Abstract

The study of Qur’anic exegesis is generally divided into two categories: interpretations considered sound (al-aṣĭl) and ṡose regarded as deviant (ad-dakhÄ­l). Every exegete’s work inevitably reflects this distinction. This study aims to investigates al-‘UṡaymÄ­n’s interpretation of Surah al-MÄ’idah verse 64 in AḥkÄm min al-Qur'Än al-KarÄ­m. In interpreting this verse, he does not employ ta’wÄ­l (figurative reinterpretation). Instead, he prioritizes a textual reading, avoiding taḥrÄ­f (distortion of meaning), ta‘ṭĭl (negation), takyÄ­f (describing ṡe modality of God’s attributes), tamṡĭl (likeness), or tashbÄ­h (anṡropomorphism). Al-‘UṡaymÄ­n is a follower of the teachings of Muḥammad ibn ‘Abd al-WahhÄb (Wahhabism). Within Wahhabi doctrine, the use of rational interpretation for the mutashÄbihÄt (ambiguous verses) is generally rejected. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with theory of al-dakhÄ­l and al-aṣĭl to investigates the validity of his interpretation. This study found that al-Uṡaimin’s interpretation on al-Maidah: 64 indicates as deviant (al-dakhÄ­l). This is due to his rejection of ta’wÄ­l and the influence of Wahhabism, which tends to promote literalism and is associated with tajsÄ­m, tashbÄ­h, takyÄ­f, and tamṡĭl. His interpretation relies too rigidly on the outward literal meaning while dismissing the direct use of reason in interpreting ambiguous verses.
