Kontroversi Penafsiran Ali Mustafa Yakub Terhadap Dalil Fatwa Mui No. 5/2010 Tentang Arah Kiblat di Indonesia

Abstract

Every Muslim who performs prayer must fulfill the conditions and pillars. Facing the Qibla is one of the valid requirements that must be fulfilled. There is a controversy between MUI and Ali Mustafa Yakub in the interpretation of Qibla in Indonesia. The conclusion of this research states the untruth of Ali Mustafa Yakub's criticism of the absence of the underlying argument against the stipulation of MUI Fatwa No. 5/2010. Between the first and second fatwa is an inseparable part and MUI has never abrogated it. This is based on the Hadith of Ibn Abbas “This is the Qibla” which supersedes the Hadith of Abu Hurairah “Between East and West is the Qibla”. Therefore, in the application, the first fatwa is general (West direction) and the second fatwa is more specific (Northwest). This research is a library study. The primary reference in this research is a book by Ali Mustafa Yaqub, entitled: Qibla According to alQur'an and Hadith, Criticism of MUI Fatwa No.5/2010. The collection of data sources in this research is done descriptively by describing and explaining the facts. This research can be a reference, a contribution for observers, researchers, the academic community, mass organizations, and Muslims in determining the Indonesian Qibla.
