Mashlahah Fiqh Paradigm of Hasyim Muzadi

This study aims to examine the background of Hasyim Muzadi's maslahah fiqh paradigm based on the phenomenon of radicalism and terrorism in the name of Islam. By using a descriptive-analysis method, the results of this study suggest that Hasyim Muzadi’s maslahah idea suggests various fields of life in terms of the category of al-mashlahah al-mu'tabarah as follows: (a) the goal of fiqh is mutual respect; (b) the Islamic jurisprudence is based on tolerance. (c) fiqh must be open-minded. (d) fiqh should seek to fulfill the common goods of ummah. Meanwhile, Muzadi’s idea of mashlahah which is categorized into al-mashlahah al-mulghah in which Qur'anic and Sunnah propositions are negotiated between each other in Indonesia can be described as follows: (a) a radical fiqh is aimed to establish an Islamic state or khilafah Islamiyah in Indonesia; and (b) a terrorist fiqh acknowledges acts of violence and bombings in committing an amar ma'ruf nahi munkar as in the case of the Bali Bomb.
