Abstract

This study examines the differences in the determination of the timing of ṭalāq between the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI)—as a codified representation of Islamic law in Indonesia and the views of classical scholars, particularly those of the Shafi’i school. The focus of the study lies in how each legal system defines the moment when ṭalāq is considered valid and legally effective, as well as its legal implications on the rights of husbands and wives and the integrity of the family institution. This research adopts a juridical-normative approach and applies a descriptive-analytical method, drawing from literature reviews of classical fiqh texts, statutory regulations, and relevant scholarly journals. The findings indicate that, according to the Shafi’i school, ṭalāq is considered to take effect immediately upon the husband’s pronouncement of a valid ṭalāq, whether expressed explicitly (ṣarīḥ), which requires no accompanying intention, or implicitly (kināyah), which must be accompanied by intent. In this context, the legal effect of ṭalāq does not depend on court proceedings or administrative registration; rather, it hinges on the husband’s verbal expression and intention as the substantive conditions for validity. Conversely, under the KHI, ṭalāq is only deemed valid if it is formally declared by the husband before a panel of judges during a Religious Court session. Any ṭalāq pronounced outside this official mechanism, such as privately or informally, has no legal standing, even if stated verbally by the husband. This divergence reflects a shift in legal paradigms: from a substantive-textual approach in classical jurisprudence to a formal-procedural approach in contemporary, institutionalized Islamic law. The KHI emphasizes women’s protection and legal certainty within the household, while the Shafi’i school focuses more on the authority of the husband and the spiritual-legal meaning of ṭalāq. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of harmonizing classical fiqh values with the demands of modern legal frameworks, ensuring that Islamic law remains contextual, just, and responsive to the evolving dynamics of contemporary society.

Abstract

The increasing participation of wives in income-generating activities has become a significant feature of contemporary family life, reshaping economic relations within households and raising important normative questions regarding financial responsibility. Within the framework of Islamic family law, the obligation of financial maintenance (nafkah) remains a fundamental and binding duty of the husband toward his wife and children, as firmly established in the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). However, modern socio-economic realities increasingly reflect shared economic roles between spouses, particularly in families where wives earn independent income. This study examines the legal construction of the husband’s obligation of nafkah and analyzes its relevance in the context of working wives with independent earnings. Employing a library-based research method, the study adopts a normative-theological and descriptive-analytical approach. The analysis draws upon classical Islamic jurisprudential sources, contemporary scholarly literature, and relevant legal regulations, which are examined through the principles of justice, reciprocity, and family responsibility in Islamic law. The findings indicate that the husband’s obligation to provide nafkah remains legally binding regardless of the wife’s economic status. The wife’s income is recognized as her exclusive personal right and does not invalidate the husband’s responsibility, although it may be voluntarily allocated to support household needs. Consequently, Islamic family law accommodates economic transformation while preserving its normative foundations, encouraging balanced and harmonious partnerships within modern Muslim families.
