Abstract


Analysis of legal stratagems cases in the Quran and Sunnah

 Legal stratagems or Hiyal are the means to reach an end in an unconventional way. Every law consists of this kind of exits for special cases, but these concessions can become a source to circumvent the objectives of the law. Islamic law is the divine law regulated by Allah SWT for all human beings. The primary foundations of this law are the Holy book of Allah SWT and the life of His Prophet PBUH. The researcher aims to analyze the twelve stratagem cases mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah to extract a generalized ruling about applying Ḥilah in Islamic law. The researcher studied each and every case, its background, impact, related department of Islamic law in detail. He found that Ḥiyal are permissible subject to the intensity of need, the intention of the doer, and not evading the higher object of Shari’ah. Some cases of Quran and Sunnah are not pure legal stratagems, but dual meaning sentences used for a valid purpose.

 

Analisis Kes-Kes Strategi Undang-Undang Dalam al-Quran dan al-Sunnah

Strategi undang-undang atau Hiyal adalah kaedah untuk mencapai tujuan dengan cara yang tidak konvensional. Setiap undang-undang terdiri daripada penyelesaian untuk kes-kes biasa, tetapi konsesi ini dapat menjadi sumber untuk menghindari objektif undang-undang. Undang-undang Islam adalah undang-undang ketuhanan yang diatur oleh Allah SWT untuk semua manusia. Prinsip utama undang-undang ini adalah kitab suci Allah dan kehidupan Muhammad. Penyiasat bertujuan untuk menganalisis dua belas kes hiyal yang disebutkan dalam Al-Quran dan Sunnah untuk mengambil keputusan umum mengenai pelaksanaan ilah dalam hukum Islam. Pengulas menggunakan pendekatan analisis kandungan untuk mengenal pasti corak dalam strategi perundangan yang terdapat dalam Al-Quran dan Sunnah. Penyelidik mengkaji setiap kes, latar belakang, kesannya, jabatan undang-undang Islam yang berkaitan secara terperinci. Dia mendapati bahawa hiyal diizinkan bergantung pada kepentingan keperluan, niat pelaku, dan tidak menghindari objektif Syari'ah yang lebih tinggi. Sebilangan kes Al-Quran dan Sunnah bukanlah stratagem undang-undang yang murni, tetapi ayat-ayat yang bermaksud ganda yang digunakan untuk tujuan yang sah.
