Abstract

This research is a field research aimed at knowing and understanding the role and strategy of caregivers in shaping philanthropic characters in the foster children of Muhammadiyah Probolinggo orphanage. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a type of field study research that takes place naturally in the original environment of the research object (natural setting). The results of the study show that the role of caregivers in the formation of philanthropic character in foster children in the Muhammadiyah Putra Orphanage in Probolinggo City is achieved through several holistic and integrated approaches in the role, including 1) the caregiver as the caregiver itself and also the caregiver as a companion as well as a parent so that they can have emotional, psychological, empathetic and social closeness. 2) The strategy of caregivers in shaping philanthropic character in Muhammadiyah boys' orphanages is to provide several programs and activities called role simulations, emotional reflections, volunteer days, and support friends. 3) Challenges faced by caregivers in the formation of philanthropic character in Muhammadiyah orphanage foster children include psychological, social and cultural challenges. The psychological challenges obtained are in the form of the mentality of the recipients of assistance, and the social challenges obtained are in the form of age differences in foster children, while cultural challenges are in the form of the backgrounds of foster children who come from rural communities that also lack proper education.

Abstract

The mahr is an essential element of Islamic marriage, normatively established by the Qur’an and Hadith as a wife’s right and as a symbol of women’s dignity. However, in practice, Muslim communities, including those in Indonesia, often incorporate additional elements such as seserahan (gifts) and bawaan (additional mahr), which are more rooted in local custom and socio-cultural construction. This study aims to critically examine the legal and social positions of both the obligatory mahr and these additional forms through the perspectives of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah and the sociology of Islamic law. Using a qualitative approach based on interviews, participant observation, and documentation in Probolinggo society, this research employs contextual hermeneutics to interpret normative texts alongside lived practices. The findings show that seserahan and bawaan have undergone a functional shift: from voluntary cultural expressions into socially expected obligations that often serve as markers of status and symbolic capital. While mahr consistently reflects the maqāṣid principles of protection of honor (hifz al-ard), lineage (hifz an-nasl), and wealth (hifz al-mal), seserahan increasingly operates within a socio-economic logic that may contradict the principle of taysīr (ease), particularly when it creates structural financial pressure on the groom’s family. This study contributes by proposing a maqāṣid-based socio-legal framework that distinguishes between ʿurf as a source of social cohesion and ʿurf as a mechanism of latent coercion. It demonstrates that the transformation of cultural practices into quasi-obligatory norms represents a form of “normative expansion” beyond classical Islamic legal requirements. From a sociological perspective, these practices illustrate the dynamic negotiation between Islamic legal norms and local culture, where law is reproduced through symbols, social expectations, and power relations. The article concludes by advocating for a reinterpretation of marriage practices through premarital education and the promotion of a “dignified yet simple marriage” model that restores the ethical.
