Fatwa And Political Development: Resistance To The Fatwa Of MUI Medan on Istibdal Al-Masji

Abstract

This study examines the fatwa of Majelis Ulama Indonesia Medan (MUI) on Istibdal Masjid. This fatwa gained resistance from Muslim community, especially Forum Umat Islam (FUI) Medan City. This is because the process behind the emergence of the fatwa is suspected through the process of negotiation with the beneficiaries, ie developers (developers) in conflict with the mosque manager, in this case represented by FUI. Using the theory of conflict and resistance, the background of the study was analyzed, the results showed that conflicting parties, especially Developers with Muslim groups, made the basis of identity legitimacy as an issue chosen for resistance, ie ethnic and religious issues. Developers in this case represent ethnic Chinese (Chinese) and non-Muslims. Associated with Istibdal fatwa issued by MUI Medan city, FUI in this case denounced by justify as pro-developer of scholars. In the end, development policy in Medan still has many problems, especially related to the construction of public space in which there is a material element in the form of infrastructure development and identity politics based on religious symbols and ethnicity.
