MUI: It Is Forbidden to Give and Receive 'Serangan Fajar'

"Dream - One day before the 2024 General Election, the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) urges the public to be cautious of the existence of money politics or more commonly known as 'dawn attack'."

The Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) in the Field of Fatwa, KH Asrorun Niam Sholeh, said that choosing a leader should be based on a clear conscience. "After hearing the vision and mission of the candidates during the campaign period, it is time for us to contemplate and choose according to a clear conscience, asking for the help of Allah SWT to be given a leader who is shiddiq or honest, trustworthy or reliable," said Niam in his statement on Tuesday, February 13, 2024.

It reminds us that choosing a leader should also be based on the qualities of tabligh or execution capability, as well as fathanah or competence. Therefore, it emphasizes that we should not choose a leader because of bribery.

"The person who will be chosen or who nominates themselves must not resort to any means to be chosen, such as bribing or engaging in pre-dawn attacks, as it is considered forbidden by law.""
"Clearly."

The Professor of Fiqh Sciences emphasizes that the practice known as "serangan fajar" is forbidden (haram) for both the perpetrators and recipients. He conveys that the lives of those involved in "serangan fajar" are not blessed.

"Fatwa MUI"

Ia menegaskan, MUI has established a Fatwa regarding the Law on Request and/or Granting of Rewards for the process of nominating public officials.

The determination of the fatwa was made in the Forum of Ulama Ijtima Fatwa Commission throughout Indonesia in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan in 2018. The following is the content of the fatwa:

1. A request and/or provision of compensation in any form towards the nomination process of someone as a public official, even though it is known that it is indeed their duty, responsibility, power, and authority, is considered forbidden, as it falls under the category of bribery or opening the path to bribery. 2. Requesting compensation from someone who will be nominated and/or selected as a legislative member, state institution member, head of government, regional head, and other public positions, even though it is known that it is indeed their duty, responsibility, and authority, is considered forbidden.

3. Giving rewards to someone who will run as a legislative member, state institution member, head of government, regional head, and other public positions, even though it is known that it is their duty, responsibility, and authority, is considered forbidden. 4. The rewards given in the process of nominating and/or electing a certain position are confiscated and used for the benefit of the general welfare.
