Abstract:
Veiled (a sheet of fabric covered the Muslim woman face) is Nahdlatul ulama (islamic organization) step of the veil, in the study of Islamic interpretation itself the arguments governing whether or not the use of the veil is obligatory are still debated. However, the use of the veil carries a greater rejection consequence than the hijab1. In fact, nowadays there are many students using the veil in the Nahdlatul Ulama (Islamic Organization) (Islamic Organization) Islamic school environment. This research focused on the construction of student's veils and the stigma of radicalism at the Islamic boarding school of Sukorejo Situbondo with a sociological and maqashid syariah approach. This study uses a qualitative approach, and data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings of this study are that the social construction of the veiled Islam student (Santri) is an internalization process towards externalization through two dimensions. First, the socializing process on the authority is based on the power of guardian Islamic school. Second, the socializing process on the equality is influenced by peer. In this context, the veiled Islam student are not influenced by the understanding of radical Islam, this is based on empirical facts, namely the veiled Islam student are trained through an understanding of moderate Islam and there is no access to social media with radical groups. This is evidenced by the firmness of the attitude and policy of the Islamic school regarding the termination of the relationship between students through information networks and communication with certain parties outside the Islamic school, which does not allow propaganda and indoctrination of radical Islam from outside. As for the symbolic meaning of the veiled Islam student as resistance to radical Islamic groups who claim that the veil is only their identity. This shows that not all veiled women are radicals. Because all this time, there is a symbolic meaning behind the veil of the struggle for ideology and identity of radical Islamic groups.
