The Urgency of Maqasidi's Tafsir in the Bayani Approach

This study aims to explain the importance of maqasidi tafsir in understanding legal verses and hadiths, including in comparing and choosing interpretations that are contextual and more in line with maqasid al-syari'ah. This can be seen in the interpretation of Ibn 'Abbas and Imam Shafi'i regarding the verse explaining the punishment for the perpetrator of hirabah. Interestingly, both of them use a language approach (bayani) in understanding the verse. This study uses a literature method, by tracing the explanations of scholars about the verses of hirabah from various literature based on the consideration of maqasid al-shari'ah. The results of the study show that although Ibn 'Abbas and Imam Shafi'i both used the bayani approach, the interpretation of Imam Shafi'i is more contextual and considers maqasid al-Shari'ah, not only limited to maslahah.
