Abstract

Maintenance (nafkah) in Islamic family law fundamentally represents a form of responsibility and protection aimed at ensuring the continuity and harmony of family life. However, within the tradition of classical fiqh, the obligation of maintenance is often closely tied to the concept of tamkīn, which positions a wife’s obedience as a prerequisite for the fulfillment of this right. Such a perspective may generate unequal power relations between husband and wife and transform maintenance from a moral responsibility into an instrument of control within the family. This condition frequently contributes to the weakening of family resilience, particularly in societies undergoing continuous social change. This study critically examines the relationship between maintenance and tamkīn in traditional fiqh and reassesses its relevance in light of the principles of justice and family resilience in contemporary Islamic family law. Employing a normative legal research method, drawing on conceptual, philosophical, and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah approaches, the study analyzes classical fiqh literature alongside modern Islamic legal thought. The findings indicate that the linkage between maintenance and tamkīn reflects specific socio-historical contexts rather than universal principles of justice. This study offers a critical framework for rethinking Islamic maintenance obligations, promoting gender justice in modern muslim societies.
