MEMAHAMI HADIS NABI TENTANG KHITAN PEREMPUAN DARI PERSPEKTIF HISTORIS – FENOMENOLOGIS

Abstract

Female circumcision is a present muslim societies‟
tradition since ancient to modern times. Some moslem
scholars say women do not need to be circumcised,
but many other scholars argue for female circumcision
law is mandatory. They argue with hadith narrated by
Abu Dawood from Umu Athiyah and narrated by
Ahmad from Osama. Scientifically studied these hadits
is dha‟if can not be used as a basis in determining the
proposition or obligation circumcision for girls. If at
the time of the Prophet Muhammad ever set of female
circumcision, it should be understood only as his
ijtihad itself, not as a permanent Sunnah, and just
because people not be continue it. This is the wisdom
of the Prophet who want to make changes to the
tradition but performed by gradual and without
causing chaos.
