NUR ICHWAN, - Y1 - 2005/01/01/ N2 - 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??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.
