Bahtsul Masail NU (Sebuah Kritik Metodologi)

Abstract

Abstract: It has long been known that to deal with various religious problems related to Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) has commonly based its thinking on four schools of thought (madzhab), ie Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali. The decision making system in NU problems deliberation (bahsul masail) is formulated in three procedures such as taqrir jama'i, ilhaq almasail bi nadzairiha, and istinbath. To determine the authoritative (mu'tabar) books used to solve the legal problems Nahdliyin (NU followers) used to base their lines of thouight on the so-called al kutub 'ala al-madzahib al-arba'ah (the books referring to the four schools of thought / madhhab).
