BUGHAT MENURUT PERSPEKTIF FIKIH MAZHAB

Abstract

Bughat refers to an act of violence against a legitimate Islamic government led by a just, devout, and pious leader (imamul muslimin). This study aims to examine the concept of bughat from the perspective of the various schools of Islamic jurisprudence (madhhabs) and to identify the criteria required for an act to be classified as bughat thereby warranting specific legal sanctions (uqubat). This is a library-based study employing a descriptive-analytical method within a qualitative-juridical framework. The findings indicate that, generally, the schools of jurisprudence define bughat as an unlawful act of rebellion involving opposition to, or a refusal to submit to, a legitimate leader or government. Such rebellion is organized and backed by weaponry and force capable of threatening the stability and security of the Islamic government. The criteria for classifying an act as bughat include the rebels having an obeyed leader and possessing military strength and substantial weaponry
