Capital Punishment for Blasphemy in the Hadith of the Prophet: A Perspective through the Common Link Theory
Abstract
This study aims to investigate the authenticity of the hadith that permits the death penalty for those who insult the Prophet. Through the lens of the Common Link theory, the research seeks to examine this hadith by applying isnad criticism. The study employs a qualitative methodology, using a library research approach to analyze and understand the relevant hadiths. Data is collected from various primary hadith collections, which are then analyzed through contextual review and source criticism and compared with the commentaries of hadith scholars and relevant academic literature. The objective of this research is to determine whether the hadith in question is valid as a basis for justifying the death penalty for blasphemy against the Prophet. Ultimately, the findings of this study conclude that the hadith falls into the category of Gharib Nisbi. Furthermore, 'Uthman al-Shaham is identified as a fabricator of this hadith. Regarding his reliability, al-Shaham is a controversial figure whose credibility is debated among scholars and hadith critics. Consequently, this hadith is deemed insufficient to be used as a legitimate basis for implementing the death penalty for insulting the Prophet.
