Summary
Fiqh al-ta’ayush is the jurisprudence of co-existence, meaning Muslims and non-Muslims living together in peace, mutual affection and harmony. The term is new and contemporary, and is sometimes used alongside similar terms such as tasamuh and taqarub. According to Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah, living with non-Muslims is accepted in safety and well-being, subject to certain conditions and criteria. The statement stresses mutual accommodation and respect for neighbours to preserve unity, without neglecting the fixed rulings of Islam.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kalimah al-ta'ayush merujuk kepada kehidupan bersama antara satu sama lain dalam keadaan kasih sayang dan harmoni.
