Abstract

Childfree is a life choice not to have children after or before marriage, whether biological children, stepchildren, or adopted children. This article discusses how childfree is influenced by the digital era and what the perspective of Islamic law is according to the views of ulama and gender activists in Malang, East Java. This empirical legal study used legal sociology and maqāṣid al-sharī’ah approaches. Data were collected by means of in-depth interviews and a literature review. Findings showed that child-free development in Indonesia has been influenced by the digital era through online media, which quickly spread and made it easier for people from various countries to interact and share information. One of the objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-sharī'ah) is to maintain offspring (hifz al-nasl) through marriage. According to the ulama, being childfree is contrary to Islamic law and the nature of humanity. According to the Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah, and gender activists, the laws on childfree can be summed up in two ways: haram and mubah. Childfree is haram (unlawful) because it is contrary to maqāṣid al-sharī’ah, i.e., preserving offspring, as it is also the goal of marriage. Childfree is mubah (allowed) if there are reasons that are condoned by the sharia, e.g., health problems, physical limitations, and psychological conditions that prevent the wife from having children. Sociologically, the government and all related parties need to provide education to the public so that the meaning of childfree can be understood properly and correctly.

Abstract

This article discusses the concept of bid'ah in the perspective of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah (Aswaja), especially according to Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). This study aims to examine how NU understands bid'ah and how its moderate attitude in responding to various religious traditions that are considered bid'ah. The research method used is a literature review with a qualitative approach. The results of the study show that NU applies the principle of moderation through the concept of maslahah in responding to new traditions that develop in society. Religious traditions such as tawassul, tabarruk, and the commemoration of Maulid are included in the category of bid'ah hasanah, which is accepted because it brings goodness both in social and spiritual aspects. NU's understanding of bid'ah provides a balance between maintaining good old traditions and accepting new innovations that are beneficial to the people.
