FIKIH INDONESIA: EPISTEMOLOGI SOSIO-KULTURAL

Abstract

Abstract
Fiqh presents with the presence of Islamic studies that then is
being practiced in the society. Fiqh epistemology in Indonesia as
the Islamic law has characters and Indonesian special features
either written or unwritten in the book of law. All this time, fiqh is
still attached with cultural trademark and Middle-Eastern tradition.
The socio-cultural condition of Indonesia society, however, gives
contribution and historical setting of Islamic law in Indonesia so
that fiqh reformation that is identical with Indonesian is the
demand and the dynamic of modern Muslims nowadays. Fiqh as a
necessity must be kept in touch with science as the integral part
and takes into account to solve the modern problems through the
update thought to form the Indonesian fiqh. The indigenization of
fiqh holistically uses the various patterns and methods. The
demand of updating fiqh already causes the reshuffle of fiqh
epistemology from teosentrisme epistemology to antroposentrisme
epistemology. Therefore, the contextualization of fiqh always
follows the socio-cultural and development of human knowledge
with various typology characteristics of society that are formed by
its socio-culture and the culture around it. Hence, fiqh will be
fresher than before to answer the new problems in modern society
in Indonesian context.
