Mukhannath Menurut Fiqh Dan Perubatan: Satu Kajian Literatur

Mukhannath From The Perspective Of Fiqh And Medical: A Literature Study

Abstract

Mukhannath is not a new group of people which exists in our society. Discussions and debates about mukhannath have already been going on by former Islamic scholars and medical practitioners. This study aims to clarify the meaning of mukhannath from the perspective of fiqh and medical based on the literature review or previous research. This qualitative study applied  document analysis methodology. Classical and modern fiqh books are the main source of reference, alongside books, journals and medical studies that address on the issue of mukhannath. The finding  shows that mukhannath was addressed on Al-Quran and Al-Sunnah. Mukhannath was also defined as a male resembling a woman and was divided into two groups namely mukhannath khalqiyy and mukhannath ghayr khalqiyy. The clear meaning of mukhannath can avoid misunderstandings and confusions especially with the other group which is khunsa. In addition, the understanding of the term mukhannath from Islamic and medical perspective can explain the hukm (Islamic law)  related to this group and resolve their issues.
