Indonesia Corresponding Email: romlah@iiq. Received: 10/07/2024 Revised: 19/09/2024 Accepted: 30/11/2024 Abstract This study aims to highlight the impact of qirAah on Islamic law. This study also explains Ibn ayyAn's interpretation in interpreting the verse on usury so that it has an impact on Islamic law. This research is descriptive-analytic research using a literature study. This study describes the interpretation put forward by Ab ayyAn, which is then analysed by using qirAAt shAdhdzah in interpreting legal verses, which is devoted to the verse that discusses usury. The findings of this study indicate that Ab ayyAn's interpretation of QS. al-Baqarah: 279-280 emphasises the compatibility between one verse and another, by understanding the causes of the revelation of the verse, and referring to the principle of al-ibrah bi-umm al-lafei lA bi-khu as-sabab. Differences in qirAah enrich the understanding of the verse linguistically. This study concludes that qirAAt shAdhdhah can be used to support or strengthen legal understanding, thus adding depth to linguistic legal interpretation. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggarisbawahi dampak qirAah terhadap hukum Islam. Penelitian ini juga menjelaskan penafsiran Ibn ayyAn dalam menafsirkan ayat tentang riba, sehingga berdampak pada hukum Islam. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif-analitis dengan menggunakan kajian pustaka. Penelitian ini mendeskripsikan penafsiran yang dikemukakan oleh Ab ayyAn, yang kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan qirAAt shAdhdhah dalam menafsirkan ayat-ayat uukm, yang dikhususkan pada ayat yang membahas tentang riba. Temuan dari penelitian ini, penafsiran Ab ayyAn terhadap QS. al-Baqarah: 279Ae280, menekankan pada kesesuaian antara satu ayat dengan ayat yang lain, dengan memahami sebab-sebab turunnya ayat tersebut, dengan merujuk pada prinsip alibrah bi-umm al-lafei lA bi-khu as-sabab. Perbedaan bacaan tersebut justru memperkaya pemahaman ayat secara kebahasaan.

Keywords Ab ayyAn. QirAAt ShAdhdhah. RibA. Introduction The study of qirAAt, or variant readings of the QurAoAn, finds a compelling intersection in the works of Ab ayyAn al-Andalus, particularly in his interpretation of QS. al-Baqarah: 279Ae280, which addresses the prohibition of usury . ibA). This verse is pivotal in the development of Islamic legal and economic frameworks, and Ab ayyAnAos engagement with it through the lens of qirAAt shAdhdhah, non-canonical readings, offers a unique perspective on the influence of linguistic variation in QurAoAnic legal A 2024 by the authors.

Indonesia Accredited Sinta 2 Al-Tahrir: Jurnal Pemikiran Islam QurAoAnic interpretation is a multifaceted field encompassing disciplines such as language, history, and Islamic law. 2 Within this field, qirAAt plays an important role not only in pronunciation but also in legal reasoning and jurisprudential application. The traditional recognition of qirAAt by scholars with strong sanadic support has led to a focus on canonical variants. 3 However, scholars like Ab ayyAn have expanded the discussion by incorporating less conventional readings to explore deeper linguistic and contextual meanings. Abu ayyAn al-Andalus, a renowned mufassir, presents a unique methodological stance in his acceptance of qirAAt shAdhdhah when interpreting legal verses in the QurAoAn, particularly those related to usury in QS al-Baqarah: 279Ae280. 5 This position, while enriching the exegetical tradition, raises important scholarly concerns. QirAAt shAdhdhah, by definition, lacks strong sanadic continuity and is generally excluded from liturgical use and legal derivation by the majority of scholars. 6 Classical scholars such as Ibn al-Jazar and al-Nawaw have criticised the use of shAdhdhah readings in legal contexts, arguing that their weak transmission undermines their reliability as sources of law. 7 However. Ab ayyAnAos inclusion of these readings demonstrates an alternative epistemological approach valuing their linguistic and interpretive contributions over strict sanadic authentication. 8 This divergence points to a deeper academic value of qirAAt shAdhdhah: they provide insight into variant semantic possibilities and rhetorical structures of the QurAoAn that may have otherwise been neglected. Yet, this approach remains controversial, as it challenges mainstream principles of legal hermeneutics. Ab ayyAnAos methodology thus invites critical reflection on the boundaries of legitimate interpretation in Islamic jurisprudence, exposing tensions between linguistic analysis and juridical authority in the use of qirAAt. 1 Makhiulil Kirom.

Russian Law Journal, 11, no. 6S . : 629Ae Romlah Widayati / QirAAt ShAdhdhah in Legal Verses: A Study of Usury in the Interpretation of Ab ayyAn In his exegetical works. Ab ayyAn investigated multiple qirAAt variants, including qirAAt shAdhdhah, which, despite lacking robust sanadic backing, hold academic merit in the study of tafsr. His interpretation of QS. al-Baqarah: 279Ae280 illustrates how differences in recitation can influence the understanding of legal verses. By comparing the canonical and non-canonical readings, he highlights how the QurAoAnAos legal directives can be interpreted with greater nuance, particularly when considering the broader linguistic and historical context of revelation. However, despite this potential to enrich legal interpretation, the role of qirAAt shAdhdhah in shaping Islamic legal thought remains underexplored in contemporary scholarship. Current tafsr and legal studies tend to prioritise canonical readings with established transmission chains, often overlooking the interpretive contributions of non-canonical variants, especially in legal verses like those concerning usury. This oversight reflects a significant academic gap and raises critical questions about the limitations of modern methodological approaches to QurAoAnic legal hermeneutics. This study introduces a novel perspective by critically examining Ab ayyAnAos engagement with qirAAt shAdhdhah in the interpretation of legal verses, particularly in the context of usury in QS. alBaqarah: 279Ae280. Unlike previous scholarship that predominantly focuses on canonical qirAAt with strong sanadic support, this research underscores the interpretive potential of marginalised readings in shaping legal hermeneutics. 11 By highlighting how qirAAt shAdhdhah can serve as linguistic and conceptual tools in legal reasoning, this study contributes a fresh analytical framework to the discourse on Islamic legal theory. 12 It positions alternative readings not merely as philological variants, but as sources that can offer profound insights into the structure and adaptability of QurAoAnic legal principles, thereby enriching both classical and contemporary interpretations of Islamic law. This study uses a qualitative method with a content analysis approach to examine the variety of qirAAt in the interpretation of legal verses in the Quran, especially in the context of Islamic law based on the work of Ab ayyAn al-Andalus. 14 The analysis focuses on the variety of readings . irAA. that have an impact on the understanding of sacred texts, especially in legal issues such as the prohibition of usury in QS. al-Baqarah: 279-280. The selection of this verse is based on its rich variety of qirAAt as well as its fiqh significance, which has been the subject of much debate among scholars of Islamic law. The author in this case takes a position as a researcher of Islamic law with a linguistic approach, 10 Mohammad Latief et al.

The research involved an in-depth literature review on the theory and methodology of qirAAt, identification of the forms of qirAAt syAdhdhah, and analysis of its influence on the construction of the law in Ab ayyAn's tafsir. The data were analysed through content analysis techniques to classify qirAAt variations and evaluate their legal implications. Source triangulation was conducted by comparing the results of the analysis against several commentaries and scholarly opinions to increase the credibility and dependability of the interpretation This approach allows for a more comprehensive understanding of how qirAAt influences legal interpretations in the Quran. The research findings are presented in a descriptive-analytical manner, emphasising the contribution of qirAAt to the enrichment of legal exegesis discourse, as well as revealing the complexity of the relationship between alternative readings and the establishment of Islamic law. This research is expected to expand the discourse of fiqh and Quranic hermeneutics by emphasising the importance of rereading classical texts through contemporary linguistic and legal perspectives.

Romlah Widayati / QirAAt ShAdhdhah in Legal Verses: A Study of Usury in the Interpretation of Ab ayyAn philosophical position, but potentially ignores the historical context on which many legal interpretations are based. Classification of QirA'At: MutawAtir vs. ShAdzdzah Abu ayyAn documents the variation of readings in QS. al-Baqarah: 279-280 in considerable detail, as seen in the following table: Qur'anic Keywords MutawAtir Recitation Recitation of ShAdzdzah Difference in Meaning AaOA a AaI aCA mA baqiya . mA baqA . hat remain. Differences in verb vs. noun tenses AE a A ac a ar-ribA (Genera. no syAdzdzah is recorded for this lafaz aeaIaOA faAodhanu . pen fa-Adhin . irect order to More explicit nuances of violence and assertiveness Abu HayyAn prefers Imam Hamzah and Ab Bakr Shu'bah's reading of fa-Adhin, which he believes is more indicative of a strict threat to the usurer. He places this reading as an affirmation of God's legal threat, not just a linguistic choice. However, his approach has been criticized for not distinguishing the authority of mutawAtir and shAdhdhah readings in the context of legal istinbA. Legal Implications and IstinbA Reasoning In his explanation. Abu HayyAn argues that the recitation of shAdhdhah can be an indicator of legal meaning although it cannot be used as an independent shar'i argument. He cites the meaning of "faAdhin bi uarb" as a form of i'lAm . of war, not just a declaration. This shows that he supports the qirA'At approach as a corroboration, not as a primary source of law - a controversial point among fuqahA'. A Critique of Abu ayyAn's Approach Although Abu ayyAn was known to be very meticulous in linguistic aspects and had a high commitment to qirA'At, his approach equated the linguistic dimension with the normative authority of the recitation. The main criticism against him is using qirA'At shAdhdhah without strictly filtering sanadic authority. Some scholars, such as Ibn al-Jazar, asserted that the syAdzdzah recitation cannot be used in shar'i aspects because it is not mutawAtir. This is where it is important to distinguish between descriptive and normative roles in qirA'At. A study of QS. al-Baqarah: 279-280 shows that Abu HayyAn combines munAsabah, qirA'At, legal reasoning, and qirA'At shAdhdhah in one hermeneutical construction. Although his approach enriches linguistic and exegetical understanding, his position in treating non-mutawAtir readings as part of legal construction needs to be methodologically criticized and differentiated. This study demonstrates the importance of building a methodology of legal interpretation that can filter between the authority of Al-Tahrir: Jurnal Pemikiran Islam readings, linguistic meaning, and legal validity in a disciplinary manner. RibA in Multiple Interpretations QurAoan Surah al-Baqarah: 279Ae280 outlines stringent provisions concerning the prohibition of usury in economic transactions. The term ribA (A) aA a originates from the word rabA (A) aOA, a meaning Auto increaseAy, and terminologically refers to an unjust excess stipulated in an exchange by one party over another. Before interpreting these verses. Ab ayyAn outlines the munAsabah . ontextual correlatio. between these verses and the preceding one, which describes the condition of those who engage in ribA as akin to those possessed by devils. 21 The earlier verse is directed at the disbelievers who persist in practising usury, which is considered to undermine the social order. 22 Verses 279Ae280, however, are addressed to the believers, serving as a stern warning to abandon all remaining involvement in usurious In his interpretation of the historical context . sbAb al-nuz. Ab ayyAn cites several riwAyAt that mention individuals such as Ban AoAmr ibn AoUmayr. AoUthmAn, as well as al-AoAbbAs and KhAlid ibn al-Wald, who were known to be involved in ribA practices during the pre-Islamic period. 24 Nevertheless. Ab ayyAn refrains from privileging any particular narration as the most authentic, and instead adopts the methodological principle of al-Aoibrah bi Aoumm al-lafei lA bi khu as-sabab that is, deriving legal and moral insight from the generality of the wording rather than the specificity of the occasion of The verse AEaA ac aEE aOa aO aI aC aO IIA a c A Oa aOcaNa EcOIa a aIIaO cCaOAis explicitly directed at those who believe, urging them to demonstrate the authenticity of their faith by fully relinquishing usurious practices. 26 According to Ab ayyAn, the phrase alladhna Aman refers not only to the followers of the Prophet Muuammad but also to the believers among previous prophetic communities. This interpretation implies that the prohibition of ribA is a universal moral injunction embedded in the teachings of all prophets and reaffirmed in the Islamic legal tradition. This understanding aligns with the principle of sharAou man qablana, which asserts that the laws of previous prophetic communities remain valid so long as they have not been abrogated by Islamic Departemen Agama Ri.

This perspective highlights how religious texts and theological principles serve as critical underpinnings for legal and social interpretations within various faith traditions. RibA in Various QirAAt as a Legal Foundation Ab ayyAn discusses two key variations in the recitation of the verse mA baqiya (AaOA a A ) aI aCAin QS. al-Baqarah: 28 The first involves three qirAAt: . the majority of the seven ImAms of qirAAt recite it with fatuah on the yA ).

Ab ayyAn justifies the latter through reference to the poetry of Jarr, affirming its linguistic plausibility. Regarding the recitation of al-ribA (A)EaA, three primary readings are presented: . the majority, ac a including the seven and ten canonical reciters . xcept for amzah and al-KisA), read it with kasrah on rA and fatuah on bA, .

Ab ayyAn, along with linguists such as Ibn KhAlawayh and Ibn Athiyyah, strongly defends the authenticity and grammatical legitimacy of Ab al-SamAlAos qirAah, showing that it does not contravene the rules of Arabic linguistics nor the orthographic conventions of the UthmAn rasm. The unique use of wAw in al-ribuwA (A)E eaOA, ac a 37 as opposed to alif, aligns with the orthographic traditions of alrah38 and aims to distinguish it from similar words like al-zinA,39 especially given the absence of diacritical marks in the earliest codices.

Finally, the verse concludes with in kuntum muminn45 (Auif you are believersA. , indicating that persistence in ribA46 contradicts true faith. Ab ayyAn cites al-RAzAos interpretation of fa-in lam tafal47 (Auif you do not do soA. as tatruk48 Auif you do not abandonAy 49, implying that denial of this divine prohibition may equate to apostasy. 50 This underscores the moral and theological severity of engaging in ribA within the Islamic worldview.

Romlah Widayati / QirAAt ShAdhdhah in Legal Verses: A Study of Usury in the Interpretation of Ab ayyAn QirAAt ShAdhdhah in Legal Interpretation Ab ayyAn discusses the qirAAt of the phrase fa-adhin bi-uarbin, outlining three recitations: . Ab Bakr Shubah, and Ibn GhAlib recite it as fa-Adhin bi-uarbin,52 in the form of fil rubA from Adhana ( aA )aaIAmeaning Auto announceAy. the other seven canonical qirAAt recite fa-dhin in the triliteral form fil thulAth from adhina ( aA)aaIA,54 also in the imperative. al-asan recites it as fa-ayqan bi-uarbin. The first two are considered mutawAtir, while the third is a qirAah shAdhdhah. This variation reflects the linguistic richness and complexity of the qirAAt tradition. 56 Though both primary recitations derive from the same root . , the rubA form (Adhan. implies a stronger, more formal announcement. According to Ab ayyAn, this suggests a more intense tone of warning directed at those who persist in usury despite knowing its prohibition. 57 This interpretation aligns with the maqAid approach, as promoted by Ibn Ashr, which emphasizes the protection of core values such as religion and property, both threatened by the injustice of usury. 58 Pre-Islamic cultural practices, including vocal traditions linked to locust symbolism, further underscore the significance of tone in communicating divine threats. Al-RAz interprets the command as a directive to make the punishment known, not merely to oneself, but publicly. Similarly, al-Zamakhshar views it as an act of al-idhn . or al-istimA . ttentive hearin. ,60 both of which imply communication and warning. 61 M. Quraish Shihab renders the verse metaphorically, interpreting "a war from Allah and His Messenger" not as physical combat, but as a metaphor for determined opposition to usury, an act seen as defiance against divine authority. Thus, the verse conveys not literal warfare but a firm divine stance to eliminate usury. The diversity of qirAAt enriches this interpretation, contributing to a nuanced understanding of legal and ethical imperatives in Islam. Abu-Hayn. Al-Bahr Al-Muhyth, 713Ae14. 52 al-Qydhi.

Al-Tahrir: Jurnal Pemikiran Islam QirAAt ShAdhdhah as a Tool in Interpreting QirAAt MutawAtirah Al-ShukAn interprets the phrase fa-adhin bi-uarbin (QS. al-Baqarah: . 64 as a command to Auannounce warAy not only to those who practice usury . ibA) but also to others, urging collective action against its 65 This interpretation resonates with contemporary anti-usury movements in Indonesia, influencing the ethical stance of Muslim banking professionals. 66 Ali Shariati further underscores the role of tawud in eradicating economic injustice, advocating a faith-based resistance to exploitation and the monopolization of resources for personal gain. The QurAnic prohibition of ribA,68 emphasized across numerous classical commentaries,69 plays a foundational role in promoting just economic systems grounded in Islamic principles. 70 Scholars such as Ab ayyAn explain that the reading of fa-adhin (A)Aae aIaOA71 is a command form derived from the triliteral root adhina ( aA)aaIA, meaning to permit or announce. 72 This is the majority reading among the seven canonical reciters. Conversely, amzah and Ab Bakr Shubah read it as fa-Adhin (A)Aa aIaOA,73 derived from the quadriliteral root Adhana ( aA)aIA, connoting a more forceful proclamation or ultimatum. Ibn Aiyyah suggests that either recitation entails an authoritative announcement, yet Adhana implies heightened urgency and clarity. 75 Al-RAz, following this line, distinguishes between war as a literal armed conflict and war as a metaphorical warning or legal opposition. 76 He cites precedents, such as Ab Bakr al-iddqAos campaign against those who withheld zakAh, to argue for the governmentAos role in enforcing economic justice.

Ab Al and Ab ayyAn analyze these qirAAt based on syntax and theological implications, with Ab ayyAn noting that the phrase may function independently . habar mustana. 95 or contextually as uAl of the preceding prepositional phrase. 96 While refraining from judgment on superiority, he acknowledges the interpretive weight of both readings. Differences in mufassir interpretations often stem from their engagement with varying qirAAt. Although some scholars, like al-RAz, typically avoid using shAdhdhah qirAAt as legal proof, they may incorporate them to reinforce interpretive conclusions. As scholars state. Aueach qirAah is like a verse on its own,Ay underscoring the role of variant readings in shaping jurisprudential and theological discourse. Among seven qirAAt referenced by Ab ayyAn in his analysis of transactional verses, four support his interpretation, while the remaining three are dialectal variants. Although not legally authoritative, these contribute linguistically and rhetorically to a deeper understanding of the divine This reflects the rigor and depth of QurAnic exegesis, where even non-canonical readings play a meaningful role in legal, theological, and ethical deliberations. Ab ayyAn shows an inclusive tendency towards qirAAt shAdhdhah, not in its capacity as a qat' proposition, but as a qarnah ta'ydiyyah that is, a supporting clue to expand the dimensions of interpretation of the text. He does not reject the grammatical and phonological validity of these readings, as long as they are by qawAid al-'arabiyyah and do not deviate from the AoUthmAn rasm. This can be seen in his defence of qirAah al-ribuwA (A)E eaOA ac a and fa-ayqin (A)Aa a eO aCIaOA, which, although classified as shAdhdhah, are considered linguistically and semantically valid.

This raises the possibility of a more multidimensional interpretation: from a mere legal prohibition to a theological warning involving moral conviction and commitment. However, the narrative has not spelled out the practical implications for fiqh in concrete terms. For example, in the context of modern fatwas such as the DSN-MUI, the maqAid approach becomes relevant to see the prohibition of ribA as a form of protection of mAl and dn in maqAid al-shar'ah. Here, qirAAt shAdhdhah can serve as a reinforcement of normative arguments, especially in complex contemporary financial conditions, such as microfinance. Islamic finance margins, or disguised interest Compared to thematic interpretations . aws') or maqAid interpretations such as Ibn AoAshr. Ab ayyAn is still very strong in lughaw grammatical interpretations, but opens up space for ethical interpretations through various readings. QirAAt shAdhdhah here is not just an alternative reading, but an additional source in extracting legal meanings and moral values that can be integrated in the practice of ijtihAd mu'Air. This study is important for contemporary legal interpretation, especially in Islamic financial Understanding the plurality of qirAAt can help fatwa formulators respond to new economic practices such as digital lending, murAbauah contracts, or sukuk, where the substance of economic justice must be maintained even if the form changes. QirAAt shAdhdhah can be a moral ta'yd, reinforcing the ethical message of rejecting economic exploitation by underlining the universal and transhistorical meaning of the prohibition of ribA. Conclusions This study demonstrates that Ab ayyAn made a significant contribution to the study of qirAAt and QurAoanic exegesis, particularly in interpreting legal verses on ribA, such as QS. al-Baqarah: 278Ae279. Through analysis of variant readings like fa-dhan (A )AaeaIaOAin the canonical qirAah versus fa-yqin (A)Aa a eO aCIaOA in the qirAah shAdhdhah, and the term ribA (A)aA Ab ayyAn illustrates that such ac a a versus al-ribuwA (A)E aaOA, variations are not merely phonetic deviations but serve as semantic tools that enrich legal interpretation. Rather than dismissing qirAAt shAdhdhah. Ab ayyAn positions them as qarnah taydiyyah . upporting indicator. within a broader framework of linguistic, grammatical, and contextual analysis. This approach reflects his integration of tafsr lughaw, tafsr al-tafsr, and tafsr bi al-mathr, showcasing an openness to the interpretive potential of non-canonical readings in understanding the multilayered meanings of the QurAn. Theologically, the variant fa-yqin bi-uarbin min AllAh . cA )Aa a eO aCIaO a ae IaIa aEEAunderscores the spiritual gravity of violating the prohibition against ribA, reframing it not only as a legal transgression but as Al-Tahrir: Jurnal Pemikiran Islam disbelief in divine warning. This perspective advances a holistic understanding of ribA as a legal, ethical, and theological concern. Theoretically, the findings underscore the interpretive value of qirAAt shAdhdhah in legal exegesis not as independent legal sources, but as complementary perspectives that deepen ethical nuance. Practically, the study offers implications for curriculum development in legal exegesis, the contextualization of fatwas, and pedagogical approaches that reflect the QurAnAos semantic flexibility within the bounds of linguistic authenticity and maqAid al-sharah. Future research may further explore qirAAt shAdhdhah in legal contexts such as inheritance . arAi. , criminal law . , and financial transactions . uAmalA. , using interdisciplinary methods that integrate linguistics, philology, and contemporary Islamic legal theory to address modern jurisprudential challenges while rooted in classical tradition.
