| Summary: | This research aims to examine the primary legal cases and examples showing the juristic divergences between Nahdlatul Ulama and Persatuan Islam in the sphere of jurisprudence of worship and Islamic legal transactions while exploring some of the legal debates between these two organizations in the political arena. As such, the legal methods underlying the juristic reasoning adopted by both are discussed. The methodology applied in this study is based on analytical approach, involving the explanation, detail of selected legal verdicts and their evidence in order to show the influences on the socio-political context in Indonesia. This study also applies the inductive approach to observe the legal theories and methodologies while exploring convergences and divergences between both. The study has identified that Nahdlatul Ulama bases its juristic interpretation on the legal theory drawn from the Shāfi'ī School of law. It seems that the NU considers madhhab because it provides a reliable and systematic framework and as such Muslims should adhere to the rulings of a madhhab. On the other hand, PERSIS considers madhhab as one influential source in legal rulings while holding that the Qur'ān and the Sunnah are the fundamental truths for Muslims. As such PERSIS encourages Muslims to avoid taqlīd. |
