Keywords:
Forum Internum, Interfaith Marriage, Haqiqah, Majaz, al-Qur'anAbstract
Interfaith marriage in Indonesia has become a heated discourse among fuqaha (Islamic legal scholars) and individuals intending to marry, creating tension between the forum internum the guaranteed and inviolable right of individuals and the role of the state in regulating the status quo. This study examines, from a linguistic perspective, the Qur’anic verses that spark debate on interfaith marriage, namely QS. al-Baqarah/2:221, QS. al-Mā'idah/5:5, and QS. al-Mumtaḥanah/60:10, using a normative theological approach grounded in Islamic law combined with analysis of statutory regulations and qawāʿid al-uṣūliyyah. Data were derived from national legislation and primary sources on ḥaqīqah (literal meaning) and majāz (metaphorical meaning), supported by relevant secondary literature. The findings indicate that interfaith marriage remains controversial due to the clash between individual rights and Islamic theological doctrine, as the contested terms al-musyrikāt, ahl al-kitāb, and al-kuffār are understood as ḥaqīqī sharʿiyyah (legally literal expressions), making the prohibition explicit and not open to alternative interpretation; therefore, the study recommends that the government promote inclusive and interactive educational campaigns involving educational institutions, community leaders, and civil society to prevent social division
