Reinterpretation of Radha’ah Concept: Study of Hermeneutics of Hadith

Abstract

Purpose: This paper tries to reinterpret the concept of radha’ah based on the hadith the which is used as a reference of the law of milk suckling and milk-kinship
Methodology: The method used to analyze the hadith is Hassan Hanafi's hermeneutic method which includes historical criticism to determine the validity and authenticity of the hadith, eidetic criticism to determine its compatibility with the Newspaper, praxis criticism to relate the meaning of the hadith to the present context.
Results: Radhaah's traditions are not only related to technical issues but an individual and social-cultural reality. Radhaah cannot be understood based on the text of Hadith alone without regard to the historical socio and praxis context. There is a need for a study with a scientific and technological approach to address the problem of the substance of breast milk which causes a prohibition on marriage between siblings.
