RESPONSE OF ACADEMICIANS IN THE INTERESTATION OF UIN MATARAM TO MUHAMMAD SYAHRUR'S THOUGHTS ABOUT THE CONTEXTUALIZATION OF THE MEANING OF ZINA: CRITICAL STUDY OF THE INTERPRETATION OF Q.S. AL-NUR [24]: 2 AND 3
This study aims to explore and attempt to describe the responses of academics in the field of interpretation of UIN Mataram regarding Muhammad Syahrur's thoughts about the contextualization of the meaning of adultery in the Qur'an. From this search, especially his interpretation of Q.S. Al-Nur [24]: 2 and 3 related to sexual relations carried out by a man and a woman out of wedlock, it is only called adultery if it is witnessed by four or more adult men. Therefore, he is entitled to be whipped or whipped a hundred times for adultery, ghairu muhshan (never married) and imprisoned for adulterer muhshan (already married). Meanwhile, if witnessed by less than four people, the act is called fahisyah, not adultery and therefore cannot be whipped or stoned according to their status. Regarding Syahrur's thought, which was mentioned last, academics in the field of interpretation of UIN Mataram rejected or disputed it on the grounds that the naming of the term adultery or fahisyah was not due to the number of witnesses who witnessed the act, but was related to the despicable act he committed outside of marriage itself.
