Kontroversi Hak Asasi Manusia: Studi Penafsiran Mufassir Klasik Dan Kontemporer Mengenai Lgbt

Abstract

The concept of human rights (HAM) varies widely among different countries due to differences in government forms, cultures, and religions. Searching for 'al-Haqq' or 'al-Huqūq' in Islamic texts does not capture the essence of HAM, as there is no equivalent term in the Quran. Abd Muin Salim suggests identifying HAM-related verses through the particle lām li al-tamlīk, which indicates ownership. The discussion of HAM often includes the debate over legalizing same-sex marriage, with some Muslim scholars supporting it. These scholars argue that homosexual acts are permissible within a marriage or based on mutual consent. This study uses library research to explore human rights issues concerning LGBT according to classical and contemporary scholars' interpretations. A key error made by supporters of LGBT rights is interpreting the word 'syakilah' as 'fitrah' or 'innate.' No classical or contemporary scholars interpret 'syakilah' to mean 'fitrah' or 'innate.'.
