        abstract = {This essay examines the Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) and the legal decisions
that it issued after the fall of President Suharto, whose regime played a role
in its establishment. In light of MUI?s changing relationship with the state
under Suharto?s successors B.J. Habibie and Abdurrahman Wahid, I call for
a more nuanced reading of MUI?s decisions.
I also discuss the relative weight accorded to MUI decisions{--}variously
called ?opinions,? pieces of ?advice,? and ?fatw{\S}s?{--}arguing that these
?discursive products? reflect a conscious attempt by MUI to break free from
the circumstances of its birth and to guide the reformation process in post-
Suharto Indonesia.}
