INTRODUCTION The Qur'an reveals many verses about marriage, including verses that express the commandments and exhortations to perform marriage, with various sociological, psychological, and ecological foundations of human living ecosystems. Some verses of the Quran also reveal the benefits and wisdom of marriage, including revealing the wisdom of marriage to bring tranquility . , mutual love . , and mutual affection . in the family. The Bio Bioanthropological Foundation of human anthropology is revealed that human life through the process of heredity, because humans experience a process of life and death, humans start from nothing . ot yet realize. , then become there . , and then no longer exist . Economic foundations reveal that marriage brings many lessons formed from family activities and mobility. The anthropological foundation reveals that humans are dreamed of consisting of paired types between men and women, then gave birth to the formation of human groups and Journal homepage: https://wsj. westscience-press. com/index. php/wslhr A West Science Law and Human Rights tribes, from various human tribes then formed a system of interaction, and interaction then formed mutual knowledge and formed patterns of human life. All processes of the human life system are thus manifested through the process of marriage. The Quran not only reveals the process of forming a system of human life through marriage but the Quran also reveals about the correct mechanisms and procedures in the marriage process, because the correct processes and procedures will give birth to family life and produce good and true human Among the provisions in the Qur'an on which the Islamic Law on marriage is based is that marriage must be performed between couples of the same religion, the Islamic religion. The Qur'an forbids marriages between non-Muslim couples, marriages between Muslim men and women and nonMuslims both men and women. Several verses of the Qur'an reveal provisions non-religious marriages between Muslims and nonMuslims, and non-Muslim terms expressed in different terms: infidels, polytheists. Jews. Christians, watsaniyah, kitabiyyat, majusi, and others. Starting from the differences and diversity of terms in the scope of nonMuslims in the provisions prohibiting marriage not of the same religion, this then gave birth to nuances of different views on the interpretation of terminology about the categories of polytheism stipulated by the Qur'an, prohibited marriage with them, and differences in views on marriage between Muslims and the Ahl al-Kitab. The MUI's fatwa in the Second National Deliberation on May 26 Ae June 1, 1980, on Mixed Marriage stipulates that "the marriage of a Muslim woman with a nonMuslim man is unlawful. A Muslim man is forbidden to marry a non-Muslim woman. Regarding the marriage between Muslim men and Ahl al-Kitab women there is a difference of opinion. After considering that the mafsadah was greater than the mashlahat, the Indonesian Ulema Council declared the marriage haram". In this fatwa, the MUI has revealed the existence of non-Muslim categories and Ahl al-Kitab. The mention of the Ahl al-Kitab category shows that the MUI considers the differences in views among tafsir scholars regarding the meaning of the Ahl al-Kitab category in a non-Muslim context and its legal implications, although later the MUI took the position of its fatwa stipulating that marriage between Muslims and Ahl al-Kitab is haram.

In the Book "Rowa'i' al-Bayan Tafsir Ayat al-Ahkam min al-Qur'an. Shaykh Ali alShabuni explains the interpretation in Surah alBaqarah verse 221 that the sentence "do not marry women of idolatry" means "do not marry women who worship idols .

What alKiyabiyat or Ahl al-Kitab means in this verse are Jews and Christians. The meaning of the phrase "al-musyrikah" which includes Jews and Christians is because the essence of Jewish and Christian beliefs and deeds is 'idolatrous". This meaning is affirmed in Sura al-Tawbah verses 30-31 that "the Jews say the belief that "the Prophet Uzair" is the Son of Muhammad Ali al-Shabuni. RawaAoi al-Bayan Tafsir Ayat al-Ahkam. Jilid I.

The phrase "'amma yusyrikun" means that his fa'il is Jewish and Christian. Jews believe Uzzair is the Son of God. Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God. Such beliefs fall into the category of "shirk" acts. The use of the phrase A(IN IA )AOEOIAconfirms that God condemns Jewish and Christian beliefs and beliefs, and affirms that such beliefs are "idolatrous". Since the beliefs and deeds of Jews and Nashranis are "shirk". Jews and Christians are "polytheists". Because they are "polytheists", the prohibition against marrying "polytheists" as referred to in verse 221 of Sura al-Baqarah includes a prohibition against marrying Jews and Christians, which means that the law of marrying Jews and Christians both men and women is haram.

There are several narrations of this verse, but the mu'tabar is the sabab nuzul from the narration of Abdullah ibn Abbas which reveals that: Ao I I I NN EO IE OA ( NEE I O) EI EN IA A OIN EON AEIN I uIN A AO EIO AEO NEE EON OEIA.

After this event Abdulah ibn Rawahah came to the Prophet revealing the event to the Prophet . eace be upon hi. From this event, the Prophet asked Abdullah ibn Rawahah: "What is wrong with Amat Ya Abdullah ibn Rawahah?. Abdullah ibn Rawahah then revealed: "O Messenger of Allah, my Amat . emale servant of sahay. often fasted, prayed often, often performed ablution well, creed La ilaha illa Allah wa annaka Muhammad Rasulullah". After hearing the story, the Prophet told Abdullah ibn Rawahah: "O Abdullah ibn Rawahah. He is a good Believer". After the Prophet said this. Abdullah ibn Rawahah said: "By Allah Dzat who has sent you righteously, "Truly I will set free my Amat woman and I will marry her". Subsequently, he married the Amat". But then the surrounding Muslim community gossiped about the act of Abdullah ibn Rawahah who married very much, because they considered the act of marrying a sahaya servant woman . was flawed, the community ridiculed Abdullah ibn Rawahah for marrying a sahaya mukminah servant woman, ", while the common Arab Muslim community around prefers and is proud to marry a musyrikah woman than a sahaya servant woman even though it is a believer, for reasons of his position and rank. Al-Thabari. JamiAo Ayi. , op. , h. Wahbah al-Zuhaili. , al-Fiqh al-Islami. , op. Juz 7, h. The following narration of the above verse reveals the anthropological, social background, and mindset of Muslims from among the Companions which is disputed and needs to be straightened out by the Qur'anic verse so that this verse was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. In some narrations it is mentioned that many of the Companions married Jewish and Christian women, because of their incorrect perspective and culture, that is, they viewed more proudly and preferred to marry Jewish and Christian women, because the majority of Jews and Christians were better in terms of beauty, social status, and wealth, even marrying sahaya servants was considered inferior and despised because of their social status. Their economy, and their position, even though they are Muslims. Among the Companions who married Jewish and Christian women were: Uthman married Na'ilah bint Farafisoh a Christian, then he converted to Islam after Hudzaifah married a Jewish woman from the inhabitants of Mada'in. Jabir married a Jewish woman and a Christian woman. When Jabir was asked about his marriages to Jewish and Christian women, he replied "I married Jewish and Christian women during the time of Fath Makkah, and then his marriage in Kufa. 9 Such a historical background is revealed in the following AEI EA O NEE IN OO II NE EI A II O NEE IN IEA AI Ea eO ONO IAIO OEI IN OO OA ONOO II NEA A OI NI IIA:AIEI OE I IE IEEI EONOO OEIAIO ACEA AEA aEEOAA Based on verse 221 of Surat alBaqarah, scholars agree that the law of marriage for a Muslim against a polytheist or non-Muslim woman is haram. 3 Tafsir Surat Al-Mumtahanah Ayat 10: Another verse commonly used to postulate the legal prohibition of marriage Ibid. Vol. No. October 2023: pp. West Science Law and Human Rights between Muslims and non-Muslims is verse 10 of Surat al-Mumtahanah, namely: a A aI N a s Aa eIa aaI eOaN acI a cEEa a eaE aI aaeOaNIaa acI a eIA a AeeOaOac aN EacOe aI aIaIeO a aE aI E aeI eIIA ca a s AaEaIaION acI I eaIIA A aE ae a eOaN acI aE Ee aEAac a aE aN acI a UcE acNEaeI aOaE aN eI aOE eO aI aNEa acI aOa eOaN eIA a aea e acIee aeI aA aC O OaE aI aEO aEI a eI aeI aEON acI a aee aOaION acI aON acI OaE aae a aEO aA aIA a ea a e a a ae a a e a e e ea a a a e a AeE aEOAa a eE aEOAa a OaEaO Iee aeI aA eCaI OEeOaEaO Iee aeI aA aC O Ea aEI EA a e ea a aAeI cEE eaO aE aI aeOaI aE eI aO cEEA e ae a e AaEaeO UI a aEeO UIA AuO believers, when you come to migrate to you women of faith, then you should test .

They are not lawful for the unbelievers, and the unbelievers are not lawful for them. And give them the dowry they have paid. And it is no sin for you to marry them if you pay them their dowry. And do not hold on to the marriage cord with unbelieving women, and ask for the dowry they have paid. Such is the law of God which He established among you. And Allah is AllKnowing and All-Wise. In verse 10 of Surat al-Mumtahanah the concept of lafadz used for the context of marriage with non-Muslims is "kafir", as seen in this passage AuAAyaE a ea a eOaN acI aaE Ee aEAac aA, and on the excavation of the sentence AuaI Ee aE aOAa aA a AAyOaE aae aE eO aA. a In Surah al-Baqarah verse 221, the concept sentence used to identify non-Muslims is lafadz "al-musyrik". This verse confirms that women who have migrated to Islam from previous infidels, then haram is returned to their original husbands who are still infidels. The haram of women who have migrated to Islam is because of their disbelief. And also, the affirmation that these women may be married by Muslim men because they have converted to Islam. This verse confirms that it is haram for Muslim men to marry infidel women. The haram of their marriage because of its infidels. The affirmation of the haram of Muslim men marrying infidel women as well as Muslim women marrying infidel men is seen in the sentence Au caA" aE NaIac a EUc acE aN eI O aE aN eI Oa acE eOI E aNIAWhich confirms that infidel women are not halal to marry Muslim men, and vice versa Muslim women should not be married to non-Muslim men . Likewise in the sentence " AA a AaOaE aaIA A aaEeO aE eI a eI aeI aE a eOaN acI aee aeO a aI eOaN acI a a eOaaN acIAshows the halality of Muslim men marrying women who have A migrated to Islam. Thus, it is lawful for Muslim men to marry Hijra women because of their Islam. 2 Interpretation of The Verse on Which Muslim Men Are Allowed to Marry Ahl Al-Kitab Women 1 Tafsir Surat al-Maidah: 5 There are several scholarly opinions that allow Muslim men to marry Ahl al-Kitab The permissibility in question is limited to the permissibility for Muslim men to marry Ahl al-Kitab women, not vice versa. Their view stems from an interpretation of the meaning and scope of the concept of Ahl alKitab, or al-Kitabiyyat. Their opinion refers to the interpretation of verse 5 of Surat alMaidah, namely: a AaEeO OI a a acE Ea aEI EacOa OaA A a UcE Eac aE eI anOa a aI aE eI a UcEA aa a a a a ea a AI EacOe aI aeOaO eA aA OEeIAI aII Eac aOI aOaO eA a AacNEI nOEeIAI aII EeI eaIIA eeA aI eI CaeEa aE eI a e ae a a a e a a a a a a e a a ea a AAIaeO aeO I aA aeO OaE IA AO a e a sIA e Aac aA a aa a a a eaeO a aI eOaN acI a a eOaaN acI aIA AuA (And it is lawful to marr. women who keep honor among women of faith and women who keep honor among women who were given the Bible (Ahlu Kita. before yo. Ay. By referring to this verse, some scholars argue that Muslim men may marry Ahl al-Kitab women. The meaning of Ahl alKitab is Judaism and Christianity. This opinion is based on a fragment of the a a A OEeIAIA. a a ea a a A I aI EacOe aI aeOaO e A AuA. nd it is lawful to marr. women who keep honor among the women who were given the Bible (Ahlu Kita. before yo.

Ahl al-Kitab is a religious belief in the Torah and the Gospel. Adherents of the Scriptures are Jews. Adherents of the Gospel Scriptures are Christians. Thus, the Ahl al-Kitab means Jews and Christians. This is as expressed: A NI NEA: AONE EEA.

Another reason many scholars interpret lafadz "al-musyrikat" does not include the Ahl al-Kitab, based on the verse AuAAyI OO EOI EAO II NE EE OaE IeOA. Use of the letter 'athaf " in sentences AIIA A NE EE OaE IeOAshows the difference between Ahl al-Kitab and al-musyrikun, so the meaning of "al-musyrikah" does not include the meaning of "Ahl al-Kitab": Wahbah al-Zuhaili, al-Fiqh al-Islami.

AIEOA 2 Opinions of Madzhab Four Scholars Among the scholars of the fourth madhab, they argue that it is permissible for Muslim men to marry Ahl al-Kitab women but with different restrictions and conditions: Hanafi scholars argue that it is unlawful for Muslim men to marry Ahl al-Kitab women if they are in the Dar al-Harbi region that is not subject to Islamic law, this is because it is feared that it will open the door to slander or disaster for him. Maliki scholars argue that there are two opinions: . Muslim men marry Ahl alKitab the law is makruh mutlaq, whether the woman is Ahl al-Kitab dhimmi or The law of Muslim men marrying Ahl al-Kitab women is not makruh mutlaq, on the grounds based on his dhohir lafadz in verse 5 of surah al-Maida. Shafi'iyah scholars argue that Muslim men marry Ahl al-Kitab women the law is makruh if they live in the territory of Dar al-Islam, and verier makruh if it is carried out in the territory of Dar al-harbi. Hanabilah scholars argue that Muslim men marrying Ahl al-Kitab women may be lawless without makruh, this is based on the generality of the sentence in sura alMaidah verse 5. Shafi'iyah scholars and Hanablah scholars require the ability of a musliam man to marry an Ahl al-Kitab woman if both parents are really Ahl al-Kitab. If his father is Ahl al-Kitab and his mother is Kafir watsani . then his law is not In another narration it is mentioned that the Hanabilah scholars argue that the law Sayyid Sabiq. Fiqh al-Sunnah.

Thus, based on verses 30-31 of Surah al-Tawbah, it is very clear that the actions and beliefs of Jews and Christians are categorized as "idolatrous".

When Ibn Umar was asked about the law of Muslim men marrying Jewish women and Nashrani Ahli al-Kitab, he replied: Allah Almighty has forbidden the marriage of polytheistic women to Muslim men. I don't see anything higher than the expression and belief that "His God is Jesus, or 'Isa is God.

After considering that the mafsadah was greater than the maslahah, the Indonesian Ulema Council declared the marriage haram. The foundation used by MUI in establishing the Fatwa on Mixed Marriage also uses Qur'anic verses regarding the provisions prohibiting marriage between. Muslims with polytheists both men and women, and also the prohibition of marriage between Muslims and the Ahl al-Kitab, as outlined in the above interpretation of the Qur'anic verses Surat al-Baqarah verse 221. alMaidah verse 5. al-Mumtahanah verse 10. alTahrim. CONCLUSION The interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an that stipulates the law prohibiting marriage between Muslims and nonMuslims is an interpretation of Surah alBaqarah verse 221 which stipulates that Muslims are prohibited from marrying non-Muslims. Verse 221 of Surah alBaqarah uses the term polytheism to define the category of non-Muslims, whose meaning of polytheism in this verse includes everyone who is not religious according to the religion of Islam, whether watsani . , majusi. Jews or Christians. The interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an which is often used as a reference by the scholars, mufaasir, which allows marriage between Muslim men and Jews and Christians, refers to Sura al-Maidah verse 5, which reveals that Ahl al-Kitab women are allowed to be married by Muslim men.
