Abstract

The increasing participation of wives in professional and economic activities has become a significant phenomenon in contemporary Muslim society, including Langsa City. A career wife refers to a married woman who works outside the home to support family income, develop personal potential, and apply her skills and knowledge. This study addresses the issue of how the rights and obligations of career wives are fulfilled in family life and examines these practices from the perspective of fiqh munakahat. This research aims to analyze the implementation of marital rights and obligations toward career wives and to assess their conformity with Islamic family law principles. The study employs a normative-empirical research method. The normative approach examines Qur’anic verses, Hadith, and classical juristic opinions related to fiqh munakahat, while the empirical approach explores social realities through the lens of family sociology within the community of Gampong Paya Bujok Seulamak, Langsa City. The findings indicate that wives’ participation in work is largely driven by the husbands’ insufficient income to meet household needs. However, the practice of financial maintenance (nafkah) often deviates from Islamic legal provisions. Many husbands cease providing nafkah due to the wives’ independent income and higher earnings. Such practices demonstrate a misunderstanding of Islamic legal norms, as fiqh munakahat affirms that the obligation of nafkah remains with the husband regardless of the wife’s employment status. Economic limitations do not nullify this obligation but require adjustment according to the husband’s financial capacity. This study highlights the need for strengthening public understanding of marital responsibilities to ensure household harmony based on Islamic legal principles.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Sub-District Musrenbang (Development Planning Deliberation Forum) in Pandrah, Aceh Province, from the perspective of Islamic political law, with a focus on its role in enhancing community welfare and legitimizing local governance. The research aims to analyze the participation of the sub-district head and community members in planning and executing development programs in accordance with the principles of consultation (syura), justice, and welfare as emphasized in Islamic political-legal theory (maqasid al-syariah). A qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach was employed. Data were collected through non-participant observation, unstructured interviews, and documentation, and analyzed to assess procedural implementation, compliance with Islamic legal principles, and the legitimacy of participatory decision-making in local governance. The findings reveal that the musrenbang process contributes significantly to community welfare across sectors such as agriculture, trade, fisheries, education, health, and infrastructure development. The sub-district head coordinates with higher authorities to ensure programs meet public needs, while local residents actively provide input and proposals. Participation grounded in syura strengthens political legitimacy, social justice, and equitable welfare in line with Islamic law. This study contributes to Islamic political-legal studies by illustrating how participatory governance mechanisms operationalize syura and maqasid al-syariah, offering practical guidance for local governments to align development planning with Sharia-compliant social and political objectives.
