Menerima Pernikahan Sesama Jenis Dalam Islam Telaah Pemikiran Jahangir dan Abdullatif

Abstract

This article explains about Jahangir and Abdullatif’s view on same-sex marriage. They argued that the Qur’an itself keeps silent on the status of same-sex union. The prohibition of same-sex union commonly adopted by Muslims is a product of the limitation of ijma (Muslim consensus) and Qiyas (deductive reasoning) as the main method of the formulation of Islamic law, and the bias of Muslim orthodoxy. Therefore, they proposed an idea that same-sex unions in Islam can be carried out by considering the broad principle of dignity and based on human affection.
