Telaah Kritis terhadap Hadis Misoginis
Abstract
One aspect that was criticized by liberal feminists in Islam is the hadith of Prophet
Muhammad PBUH. This group accused some hadith of Prophet Muhammad PBUH anti
to women. They call it misogynistic hadith. Surprisingly, the first pioneer of this discourse
is a Muslim woman named Fatima Mernissi. In her book Women and Islam: An
Historical and Theological Enquiry, Mernissi has written two sub-chapters examined
the hadith assumed as misogynistic. This discourse became a serious debate among
Muslim scholars. In Islam, fighting for justice and equality for women should be based on
the al-Quran and al-Sunnah, so that when one of the sources questioned will rise the
restlessness among Muslims. This article tries to study and examine Mernissi’s statement
and study about hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH which described as
misogynistic hadith. This needs to be done, so get the correct meaning and wisdom
related to the Prophetic traditions.
