Hermeneutika Farid Esack tentang Keadilan pada Konsep Masa Iddah bagi Perempuan

Many acts of violence and injustice against women still occur, one of which is that women who face divorce lawsuits do not get justice so that it is contrary to the concept of the iddah period in Islamic teachings. The purpose of this study is to discuss justice in the concept of the iddah period by using the hermeneutic study of Maulana Farid Esack in order to minimize divorce and eliminate violence because in the concept of iddah there is an opportunity to consider better decisions. This study uses a qualitative research method with Farid Esack's hermeneutic approach. The results of the study explain the hermeneutics initiated by Farid Esack, namely the hermeneutics of liberation using critical reasoning and the position of revelation (text), reality and interpretation are interconnected to produce an interpretation that leads to justice. Farid Esack's Hermeneutics is influenced by several figures such as Fazlur Rahman's theory of double movements and Arkoun's regressive-progressive theory but the goal is the same, namely being able to answer all contemporary problems. An example of Farid Esack's hermeneutics is the interpretation of women's liberation from acts of oppression and injustice when they want to be divorced with the introduction of the concept of iddah as in the Qur'an surah al-Baqarah verse 228. Esack explains that there are ethics when divorcing a wife while still providing a place to live and living.
