Prohibiting Fair Treatment of Annexation Perpetrators: An Analysis of Al-Mumtahanah Verses 8–9 and MUI Fatwa No. 83 of 2023
Abstract
This research examines the interpretation of Surah al-Mumtahanah verses 8–9 and its relevance to MUI Fatwa No. 83 of 2023, in the context of Israel’s ongoing aggression against Palestine. The study is significant because the verses’ meaning corresponds to the current plight of Palestinians, yet these verses were not explicitly referenced in the fatwa. Using a qualitative library research approach, the author applies thematic tafsir and Alfred Schutz’s phenomenological framework to analyze the interpretation and its application. Findings show that the verses command Muslims not to act fairly or befriend aggressors when expelled from their land. Contextualized with Palestine’s situation, this implies Muslims should neither show fairness nor establish alliances with Israel. The phenomenological analysis reveals that the motivation behind this interpretation in the fatwa is Israel’s aggression (because motive), while the goal is to stop the attacks and achieve Palestinian independence (in-order-to motive).
