Postgenderism is an idea that seeks to eliminate gender in
humans with the help of technology. The birth of this idea is of
course a concern, especially in the Islamic religion. This article
examines the position of postgenderism in the Islamic gender
perspective and postgenderism in the view of maqasid sharia.
Through Islamic Studies research methods, it was concluded that
postgenderism violates the gender provisions in Islam, where
humans are created as male and female, and is also different from
the concept of khuntsa or double sex. Based on a review of maqasid
sharia, postgenderism is contrary to the main principles in Islam,
namely hifz ad-din (maintaining religion), hifz an-nafs (maintaining
self/soul), and hifz an-nasl (maintaining offspring), as well as
hifzul mal. This idea of postgenderism erodes faith in the verses of
the Koran which emphasize gender differences as God's will. In
addition, gender modification using technology has the potential to
cause birth defects in babies, which is contrary to the principle of
maintaining personal health and safety. Postgenderism aims at
personal pleasure without considering the preservation of humans
and offspring, contrary to the aim of preserving offspring and
maintaining the human population on earth.
