الثوابت والمتغيرات في قضية الولاء والبراء عند صلاح الصاوي
Abstract
The problem of ‘aqîdah of Muslims nowadays can be seen from two sides,
internally and externally. Internally, the emergence of takfîri ideas which resulted in the
weakness of brotherhood. While externally, the impact of the hegemony of Western
civilization which brings people to atheistic-relativistic beliefs. The presence of the
concept of al-tsawâbit wa al-mutaghayyirât in ‘aqîdah is expected to be the solution to
today’s problems. In academia, it is still rare to fnd research that focuses on this issue.
If any, the approach is more to relativistic-pluralistic which obscures the meaning
of the absolute truth of religion. In this study, the author refers to a contemporary
Muslim fgure, Shalah Shawi, who had the idea of dividing the problem of ‘aqîdah into two concepts. Specifcally, this study focuses on the problem of al-walâ’ wa al-barâ’
(loyalty). The author presents using the descriptive-analysis method, which describes
and analyzes the ideas in the books of Salah al-Shawi. As a result, the author concludes
several points: 1) Tsawâbit in the study of Shalah al-Shawi is divided into two: frst,
al-tsawâbit al-muṭlaqah, which is any case based on the arguments of qaṭ’i al-tsubut wa aldilâlah and ijmâ’ ṣarîh. Second, al-tsawâbit al-nisbiyah as several options that are considered
râjih which it is hoped that Islamic movements can come to an agreement. 2) According
to Shalah Shawi, al-mutaghayyirât in any case that is not confrmed by defnite arguments
in the form of authentic argumentative texts or ijmâ’. 3) In the problem of al-walâ’ wa
al-barâ’, Islamic scholars agree that giving religious loyalty to unbelievers is a form of
kufr eventhough they are at odds on loyalty which is not based on religion.
