Abstract

In interpreting Qur'anic verses, contemporary Muslim thinkers usually argue that the current context and the context in which the verse was revealed are different. This necessitates a new method to produce contemporary Islamic laws that are different from the Islamic laws of the seventh century Hijri. One of them is the law of inheritance. Abdullah Saeed believes that the inheritance laws used since the past are no longer in accordance with the context of today. Many women are now economically independent, have educational and employment opportunities. By looking at the differences in these conditions, Saeed proposes the idea of re-reading the inheritance verse, and then replacing the law with other possibilities. Saeed's method contradicts the pious salaf scholars’ interpretation methods. Therefore, this article explains, analyzes, and critically examines the socio-historical method offered by Abdullah Saeed in interpreting the verse of inheritance. The article found that Saeed's attempt causes a change in meaning, because interpretation will continue to change in accordance with the changing times. Changes are not only made to relative verses (mutaghayyirāt), but also to absolute verses (tsawābit). Furthermore, this socio-historical model of interpretation changes the structure of the Islamic religion, including inheritance.
