ABSTRACT
The purpose of writing this study is to describe how Ustaz Khalid
Basalamah views the female body and what kind of patriarchal language is used
by Ustaz Khalid Basalamah.� The method
used is a qualitative analysis using analytical theory. The data (7-minute
Youtube video transcript) was taken based on deliberate stratified sampling and
analyzed using the Halliday MAK transitivity system and the three-domain
interaction of JR Martin and PRR White's valuation theory. It was found that
from the language of Khalid Basalamah's lectures, the discourse on the female
body was operationalized based on the idea of tabarruj in Islam. This operation
largely spreads relational processes and negative evaluations in intensive
heteroglossia expression. Basalamah, in her talk, assesses women's behavior
through the purpose of women dressing up and embellishing; patriarchal language
towards women's bodies in her lectures uses more material processes, followed
by relational processes. With this Basalamah places women's bodies as an
important discourse to be supervised and controlled by men. Furthermore, it
means that men have power over women's bodies, while women must obey their
husbands.
Keywords: discourse
analysis, khalid basalamah, patriarchal language, woman�s body.

INTRODUCTION
Indonesia is a country that adheres to a
patriarchal culture, resulting in all spaces for women's movements being
influenced by the masculine
Women are very closely related to
sexuality until now in Indonesia, especially since they still consider
sexuality a taboo and sensitive topic to talk about and discuss because sexuality
is considered a personal and private matter
Often women's bodies become objects of
power that can be manipulated, trained, and corrected to become obedient,
skilled, and subject to the principles of decency in the discourse of women's
domestication. Even
This becomes an important element of
Foucault's concepts of knowledge and power, namely the intimate space and
natural qualities of women, which form the basis for the general justification
of female morality. It also functions to regulate women's duties. This is not
only through learning in daily practice through applying rules, regulations,
laws, or religious teachings but also through institutions in the private and
public sectors.
In Islam, women are highly respected, but
they are still obliged to obey their husbands' orders at home. A wife must try
to be a good life partner for her husband and cannot refuse her husband's
invitation to have sex, which is justified by Allah (Zulfikar, n.d., p. 85)
mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 187 women are husband's clothes and vice
versa. The word clothing does not mean equipment worn around the body, but
devices that still protect each other (Zulfikar, n.d., p. 88)
The ustadz's lecture can be described as a
patriarchal religious "rule" that exploits most Muslim women.
Patriarchy is not only related to male domination in public and private spaces
Sexuality is very closely related to women
and is very interesting to discuss. In the discourse on sexuality, women will
not be separated from the gender that shapes it, especially regarding
masculinity, because in this discourse, there is language, so the discourse on
women's sexuality will be related to heteronormative masculine language. This
research will discuss the language of female sexuality in Ustaz Khalid
Basalamah's Lecture. Islam requires that women embrace it to wear a headscarf
or head covering. In some places, it is even obligatory to wear a veil, a burqo,
which covers the entire body and has thick material so that if a non-Muslim
sees it, it will feel extreme
Much research has been done on women's
bodies
METHOD
Based on the title
taken, the method that will be used is the analysis of qualitative methods
using the theory of critical discourse analysis by Norman Fairclough, supported
by the transitivity system of MAK Halliday and the theory of judgment by J.R
Martin and P.R.R White to analyze the transcript of Khalid Basalamah's lecture
which contains patriarchal language in discussing women's bodies in his talk.
Sources of data are words, sentences, phrases, and clauses contained in the
conversation. The data was obtained by watching video lectures from YouTube
carefully and then transcribed, after which it was re-selected into the M.A.K
Halliday transitivity system and continued with the assessment theory table by
J.R Martin and P.R.R White.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This part, will explain the findings and
discussion of patriarchal language in the discourse of women's bodies in Khalid
Basalamah's lectures. The results of this study focus on the transitivity
system from Systemic Functional Linguistics and appraisal theory. The results
are divided into two parts: conceptual analysis and interpersonal analysis,
while the discussion includes lexical and grammatical, logical structure, and
social functions.

From the
table above, the dominant type of process in the transcript of Khalid
Basalamah's lecture is a material process, with a percentage of 44%. The
material process is used to represent the behavior of women who are involved in
the context of lectures and comments from scholars. The second dominant process
is the relational process. Relational processes are divided into two types:
relational identification and relational attributive. Relational identification
is used to identify women's moral principles, and relational attributives are
used to characterize women's physical appearance, as scholars comment about women's
behavior.

From
table 2, Khalid Basalamah focused on assessing women in his lectures. Khalid
Basalamah specifically uses positive judgment in evaluating women's appearance
and behavior. Then Khalid Basalamah delivered his lecture using the heteroglos
form; this was done to ensure that what was delivered was acceptable and
trusted by his congregation. This is also strengthened by the many uses of quality
in graduation. Therefore, these findings show the position of patriarchal
language and Khalid Basalamah's position towards women. The following table and
chart below are the results from each of the three deep domain appraisal
systems.

From
table 3, judgment dominates the section attitude with a percentage of 62%.
Thenjudgedment positive with a percentage of 36%, while a negative assessment
of 26%. The judgment relates to assessing human character through ethical
references and social norms and is divided into two types: social esteem and
social sanction (Martin & White, 2005). The positive assessment used by
Khalid Basalamah in his speech can generally be categorized as judgment
included in the category of social sanctions. This is usually directed at
women's behavior which is considered immoral according to Islamic law.

From table 4, we can see that Khalid
Basalamah, in delivering his lectures, generally uses heteroglossia speech
forms. Heterogloss dominates the section engagement reached 72.5%; contract
reached 45% meanwhileexpant reached 27.5%. From this, there is a gap between
the two sub-sections. This shows that Khalid Basalamah is trying to limit, as
shown by how often it contracts heterogloss.
Khalid Basalamah uses the monoglots form
in delivering his lecture only based on his point of view; this occurs because
of a lack of references that include and support both the Qur'an and Hadith;
this explains that even though Khalid Basalamah tries to use patriarchal
language in delivering his lecture, but he is a professional people who include
genuine evaluation, and not just their ideas.

From table 5, we can see
force dominates from focus with a percentage of 62%, while focus only gets 38%
in analysis graduation. The percentage comparison between force and focus is
striking, i.e., 25%. In detail, focus gain 38%. Out of a total of 116 items,
graduation, the focus appears 44 times; meanwhile, force-quantification appears
60 times, and force-intensification appeared 12 times out of 116 items analyzed
graduation.
�������
��� Because postgraduation in the
review was found in the form of intensification, Khalid Basalamah tends to
intensify their quality in conveying his opinion.
Lexical Grammatical Features
Explanation of tabarruj - ust. Khalid Basalamah, in his lecture,
Basalamah presented and explained the meaning of tabarruj in Islam and
presented religious teachings about Islamic ideas calledtabarruj; this leads to
the use of patriarchal language in the female body. In his lecture, Basalamah
assesses the behavior and behavior of women. For the most part, the preacher
judges women's actions, and he describes how that tabarruj. In delivering his
lecture, out of 192 clauses, 84 were carried out with material processes. The
material process is a process that shows the real activities or actions carried
out by participants
Tabarruj Is a Term
from Something Thatexposed Intentional
Basalamah, as a speaker, begins his lecture by answering questions from
his audience and explaining what is meant by tabarrujin Islam. The conjunction
"which" in the clause above tends to signify a woman's actions, and
having a role as a bearer of the attribute "shown" shows
thattabarrujis something opening and exposing itself so that it is visible to
others, and this is done on purpose. Moreover, the material process here
explains the actions of women who deliberately appear in public on purpose.
Basalamah also emphasized that there is nothing wrong with dressing up or
preening. If a woman beautifies herself so her husband can see it on purpose,
she is considered right. However, on the contrary, if it is intentionally
intended for other people, then this is what it is calledtabarruj.
Then Tooenter in This
Tabarruj, Usesyuhroh Clothes, Which Form the Body
In the above clause, Basalamah intends to explaintabarrujmore
specifically. In the first sentence, the conjunction "then" functions
as an attribute carrier explaining what is meant bytabarruj, which
includetabarrujwearing syuhroh clothes or the like, and women are prohibited
from wearing tight clothes that reveal the shape and curves of her body.
The Woman Whoget
Dressed but Naked
In the above clause, Basalamah intends to provide type
confirmationtabarruj, i.e., a woman dressed in clothes that do not cover her
private parts and give the impression that the woman is not wearing clothes.
Basalamah quoted the Prophet's Hadith in his lecture to strengthen his opinion.
The conjunction "that" in the clause above brings the material
process that a woman who wears clothes but exposes part of her body
deliberately reveals the beauty of her body or wears thin clothes so that the
inside of her body is visible. A Nawawi in Muslim Syarah, when explaining the
Hadith above, said there are several meanings related to being dressed but
naked. First: A woman who receives favors from God but is not grateful. Second:
Women who wear clothes but do not do good deeds and are more concerned with the
needs of this world than the hereafter. The three women deliberately opened
their body parts to show off and show the beauty of their bodies. Fourth: women
who wear thin clothes, so their body parts are visible. The woman is dressed,
but naked (Al-Nawawi. 1980).
Will not Kiss the
Smell of Heaven, And Owners into It Like That
In the above clause, Basalamah explains that women who wear clothes are
includedtabarruj, the same as sin, so you do not get to heaven; you cannot even
smell it. The pronoun "will not" in the clause emphasizes that women
who are clothed but naked will not smell of heaven. In Islam, the position of
women is very noble, women should maintain this honor by covering their
genitals perfectly in front of men who are not mahram. In the sense that women
are not allowed to reveal their body parts that are not allowed to be seen by
other men who are not related to them. Covering the genitals can be said to be
perfect if it fulfills the conditions, including (1) the clothing must cover
the entire body, so it is not permissible to wear short clothes that reveal the
limbs. (2) The clothing must be loose and not tight to form the body's shape.
(3) The clothing must be thick and not thin to show what is underneath the
clothing
Of Coursein Models
Like Hair, Madelike Many Forms, He Is Even Bigger Than the Slander
Through the above clause, Basalamah explains in more detail abouttabarruj
by giving an example: women who wear the hijab. However, the hijab is modeled
in such a way that it affects the essence of the hijab itself. Both in the
first sentence and in the second, a material process modifies the veil in such
a way that it comes out of the purpose and essence of the hijab itself. As is
happening nowadays, a new phenomenon has emerged in the modern world regarding
the headscarf, namely the hijab wig. Indeed, it is an instant headscarf made of
cloth, not from hair-like fibers. This hijab consists of several layers of
cloth, which are given accessories in the form of layers, such as hair that is
deliberately made out. The front is in the form of bangs that are parted to
resemble hair of various colors and shapes, but this is still an instant hijab,
not hair. And Basalamah is of the opinion that wearing the palace headscarf
that is shaped like hair is more slanderous than the hair itself.
The Goal Is to Close
Genitalia Like That
In the above clause, Basalamah wants to explain that Islamic law orders
its followers to wear clothes to cover their genitals. The conjunction
"for" contained in the clause above carries a material attribute,
namely the purpose of Islamic Shari'a in giving orders to its adherents. This
is stated in Al Ahzab verse 59. According to the interpretation of the Ministry
of Religion (Kemenag), Allah SWT ordered all women to wear modest clothes
accompanied by a headscarf covering their chests
Logical Structure
Explanation of tabarruj -
ust. Khalid Basalamah provides an understanding of Islamic sharia law
calledtabarruj; this law regulates how women decorate to beautify themselves.
In Islam, there is no prohibition for women to decorate and beautify themselves
in order to get a household that is sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah, but Islam
regulates and teaches adherents, especially women, how to decorate properly and
correctly, without harming the women themselves. In her lecture, Basalamah
explained that there is nothing wrong with women decorating and beautifying
themselves if it is to be seen by their husbands, but if the purpose of
decorating and beautifying themselves is intended to be seen by other men who
are not mahram, this is the problem, this is called with tabarruj.
Basalamah began his lecture
by answering questions from the audience, at this point he explained the points
and what was consideredtabarruj. In this case, he explains and emphasizes the
parts of the female body that are commontabarruj, Especially the part of a
woman's body that is often considered the most beautiful, namely her face.
After that, Basalamah
explained specifically what was included in the categorytabarruj. He claimed
that women wearing clothessyuhroh or a tight shirt is an act of tabarruj and
forbidden in Islam. Even Basalamah emphasized that anyone who commits an
acttabarruj then he has sinned. He also quotes the Hadith, which says that deedtabarrujcan
result in them not smelling the smell of heaven and entering it.
After that, Basalamah
explained the purpose of Islam in ordering its adherents to wear the headscarf.
At this point, he explained that wearing the headscarf was not to humiliate and
belittle women but, on the contrary, to maintain the dignity and honor of the
women themselves. At this point, he also gave an example of the current hijab
trend, which is modeled like hair. He even emphasized that this hijab is more
slanderous than the hair itself.
In this lecture, we can see
that Basalamah exclusively evaluates women in his speeches. He tries to punish
women as immoral women by using negative words, like tabs, and most
importantly, not going to heaven to attract men who want to show the shape of
his body. Therefore, this application of negative modesty implies that women do
not have the freedom to choose what they want to wear on their bodies.
Social Function
Explanation of tabarruj - ust. Khalid Basalamah, in this case, would like
to say that her husband can only accept a woman's decoration or grooming; if a
woman dresses up and adorns herself intentionally to be seen by other men who
are not her mahram, then this cannot be accepted and allowed. Basalamah also
asserted that if a woman adorns herself for another man who is not her mahram,
it can be categorized as an acttabarruj. Basalamah also told his congregation
that a woman who deliberately opens some of her limbs or dresses up for a man
who is not a mahram is categorized as a woman with no morals.
CONCLUSION
Ustaz Khalid
Basalamah, in his lecture, assessed women's behavior through the purpose of
women dressing up and decorating, patriarchal language towards women's bodies
in his lectures mostly used material processes, then followed by relational
processes using negative judgments of decency in statementsheteroglos then
reinforced with judgment to punish and judge women who are immoral, immoral,
and will not go to heaven. Basalamah disagrees with women who wear tight clothes
so that their body curves are visible, use clothes that open some of their
limbs, dress up, and make ornaments intended for men who are not mahram, and
women who wear jewelry in public spaces. With this Basalamah places women's
bodies as an important discourse to be supervised and controlled by men.
Furthermore, it means that men have power over women's bodies, while women must
obey their husbands.
