Hukuman mati bagi koruptor disinyalir dapat memberikan efek jera dan rasa keadilan bagi masyarakat. Sebab koruptor tidak hanya menghabiskan uang negara, namun secara pelan tapi pasti, sejatinya mereka juga sedang membunuh rakyat yang tidak berdosa. Secara konstitusional, UU No.31/1999 Jo. UU No. 20 Tahun 2001 tentang Tipikor, memang telah memasukkan hukuman mati sebagai salah satu opsi bentuk hukuman bagi koruptor. Namun secara praksis, sampai hari ini, belum satu koruptor pun yang diputus hukuman mati di negeri ini. Karena itu secara spesifik, tulisan ini akan membahas pandangan Al-Qur 

Salah satu tokoh yang paling banyak membahas dan mengkaji mashlahah mursalah adalah Imam Al-Ghazali (450-505 H). Ulama Ushuliyin Syafi’iyah pada periode sebelum Al-Ghazali tidak banyak membahasnya. Dengan demikian, tidak berlebihan jika dikatakan bahwa apa yang dibicarakan Al-Ghazali tentang maslahah mursalah tersebut belum pernah diungkap oleh para pendahulunya. Pembahasan maslahah mursalah diuraikan Al-Ghazali dalam keempat karyanya, yaitu al-Mankhûl, Asâs al-Qiyâs, Syifâ’ al-Ghalîl, dan al-Mustashfâ. Tulisan ini akan membahas pandangan Al-Ghazali secara menda…
