The data are collected through literature study as well as direct observation by defining some thoughts that are relevant with the current environmental issues in Indonesia. The findings reveal at least three points regarding the concern. First, legal thought in Muhammadiyah are theoretically depicted and described in official documents conveying environmental moral, environment, and fiqh of water. They are the official products of Muhammadiyah in response to the massive deforestation and other natural resources concerns. Second, Muhammadiyah employs legal reasoning through three models of reasoning, namely bayani, burhani, and irfani. Lastly, practical implications of such thoughts stimulate Muhammadiyah that has been considered as social, and educational-based organization to initiate advocacy movements dedicated for legal structures. This is due to some tendencies that the former law such as Foreign Investment Law and Law on Water Resources tend to exploit the natural resources. |
