Abstract

N. Hosen: ‘Behind the Scenes: Fatwas of Majelis Ulama Indonesia (1975–1998)’ Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) was established in 1975. Both the traditionalist and modernist ‘ulama’ are represented in the MUI, through which they issue joint fatwas. This article looks at the method of handing down fatwas, their sources and topics, and the relationship between fatwas at national and local levels. The MUI’s operation is intended to be a ‘bridge’ between Islamic organizations, ordinary Muslims, and the government. It has played a significant role between 1975 and 1998 in assisting Indonesian Muslims to cope with their social problems and face up to some of the challenges and opportunities of modern times.
