Abstract

Board Legal Affairs Committee is an assistant Institution of Muhammadiyah leader which moves in the areas related to the formulation and decision on relating religious matters or faced by Muhammadiyah or Muhammadiyah members. In its motion, the Board Legal Affairs Committee is not only choosing a stronger opinion but more than that, it implements collective ijtihad. The use of the word Tarjih as the name of the Majlis Tarjih Committee, and thus has expanded its meaning than simply choosing a strong opinion of scholars from the side of the argument, as the meaning Tarjih in the study of Ushulul Fiqh, but “Tarjih” interpreted by Muhammadiyah said that it works the same as the motion of ijtihad. Therefore, it can be said that the Board Legal Affairs Committee is an institution of ijtihad in Indonesia, in addition to other ijtihad institutions, such as MUI, NU and other Bahsul masail. As an institution of ijtihad, Board of Legal Affairs Committee which was initiated in the Muhammadiyah Congress 16th in Pekalongan 1927, now has a pattern in the formulation and establishment of a fatwa. This paper will try to present the pattern of determination of Fatwa Board Legal Affairs Committee
