HBM (Hasil Bahtsul Masail Online) is a digital application developed to disseminate the results of Islamic scholarly deliberations, particularly in the field of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), from various Bahtsul Masail forums within Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). This application represents a tangible form of digitizing classical and contemporary Islamic knowledge, packaged in a modern Android-based platform with a simple and user-friendly interface.
Through this application, users can easily access the results of Bahtsul Masail formulations compiled and published by students (santri), asatidz (religious teachers), and formulation teams from various research institutions. These formulations cover a variety of current societal issues, examined using the fiqh muqaranah (comparative school of thought) method and the ushul fiqh approach, with primary references coming from classic texts and the opinions of scholars.
HBM goes beyond simply displaying the formulations; it also provides a space for constructive interaction for users through the comments section provided for each formulation. Thus, this application also functions as a forum for open discussion that maintains scientific etiquette and the principles of tabayyun (scientific clarification).
Furthermore, the application provides a Send Questions feature, which allows users to raise fiqh issues they experience or encounter in the community. These questions will be collected and used as study material in the next Bahtsul Masail forum. This serves as a direct bridge between the community and Islamic boarding school fiqh research institutions, creating responsive and solution-oriented two-way communication.
The HBM application operates using a lightweight and efficient WebView system. All data and content are displayed in real time via the official website https://hbmonline.github.io, which is designed to remain optimally accessible through the application, without the need for manual updates each time a new formulation is added.
The application also prioritizes user privacy and convenience. There are no advertisements, no third-party tracking systems are used, and no sensitive data is stored beyond the minimum requirements, such as the name and origin of the Islamic boarding school for login and question submission. All interactions within the application are managed transparently and responsibly, in accordance with Islamic boarding school values and ethics.
With the presence of HBM – Hasil Bahtsul Masail Online, it is hoped that the process of disseminating knowledge and the results of fiqh deliberations will become more widespread, easily accessible, and provide greater benefits to the wider community, particularly in addressing the challenges of contemporary life through a sharia-based approach that is in-depth, argumentative, and scientifically justified.
