Fiqh al-Ta’wil wa al- Tafsir (Hermeneutik) Khaleed Abou el-Fadl, Speaking in God’s Name

Abstract

One of the great thinkers in the contemporary era was Khaleed Abou El-Fadl, a prominent public intellectual about Islamic law. Through his work, Speaking in God 's Name: Islamic Law, Authority, and Woman, Khaleed Abou El-Fadl offers a new methodological framework in the study of Islamic law using the hermeneutic approach. hermeneutics is to negotiate the role of text, authors, and readers in determining the meaning of authoritative texts. Khaleed Abou El-Fadl stated that the integrity of the text was damaged, not dynamic, and could not carry out its function in responding to the challenges and demands of the global era because of authoritarianism or despotic interpretation by locking God's will behind texts, interpretations or fatwas based on certain ideologies.

Keywords: Interpretation, Hermeneutics, Khaleed Abou El-Fadl.
