Implikasi Qira'at Ibn Kathir dan 'Asim dalam Pengistinbatan Fiqh Mazhab Al-Shafi'i di Institusi Fatwa Negara Brunei Darussalam

Abstract

This study discusses Qira'at Ibn Kathir and 'Asim and its implications on the Mazhab al-Shafi'i fiqh at the Brunei Darussalam (NBD) Fatwa Institution. Discussions focused on the background and the presence of the two Qira'at, Usul al-Qira'at and Farsh al-Ḥuruf for both Qira'at and the relevance of both Qira'at to the Mazhab al-Shafi'i and NBD Fatwa Institution. These questions were analyzed in a qualitative study using data collection method of comparison. The selection of Qira'at by these two Imams as a study sample is because Qira'at Ibn Kathir is equivalent to Qira'at Imam al-Shafi'i and Qira'at 'Asim Ḥafṣ is the Qira'at al-Qurʼan of the majority of Muslims worldwide including Muslims in the NBD. The objective of this study was to identify the implications of both Qira'at on the istinbat of the Mazhab al-Shafi'i fiqh at the NBD Fatwa Institution. An important finding of this study is that both Qira'at have implications for the different fiqh Mazhab al-Shafi'i values in the fourteen Farsh al-Ḥuruf analysed. That is, eleven Farsh al-Ḥuruf show the significance of the fiqh of the Mazhab al-Shafi'i based on Qira'at Ibn Kathir, Two Farsh al-Ḥuruf shows that the Imam al-Shafi'i selected and celebrated other Qira'at Mutawatirah besides Qira'at Ibn Kathir One Farsh al-Huruf Imam al Shafi'i combines the two laws contained in the two Qira'at.
