Abstract

This study critically examines the perspectives of Islamic feminists on patriarchal elements embedded in Islamic family law in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, the research draws insights from five key informants, including scholars, activists, and legal practitioners engaged in Islamic feminist discourse. The findings reveal that patriarchal interpretations—particularly regarding male guardianship, polygamy, divorce, and inheritance—are rooted in socio-cultural biases rather than Islamic theological principles. Islamic feminists advocate for contextual reinterpretation (ijtihad) of religious texts to restore the egalitarian spirit of Islam. Through public education, legal advocacy, and collaboration with religious leaders, they promote reform efforts that challenge institutional resistance and conservative narratives. This study contributes to the broader discourse on gender justice in Muslim-majority societies by highlighting the transformative potential of Islamic feminism in reimagining family law in alignment with Islamic ethical values and contemporary gender equality.

Abstract

This paper offers a thorough scientometric examination of Maqasid al-Shariah research from 2000 to 2025, utilizing data obtained from the Scopus database. The study employs performance analysis and network visualization (utilizing VOSviewer and Bibliometrix) to discern significant publication patterns, prominent authors, institutions, and nascent research themes. Findings indicate that Malaysia and Indonesia lead in worldwide maqasid research, exhibiting robust cooperation throughout Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Thematic clusters identify three primary research domains: jurisprudential foundations, Islamic finance and sustainable development, and ethical-humanistic studies. The analysis underscores a gradual transition from conventional fiqh to interdisciplinary applications, demonstrating maqasid’s flexibility in relation to modern socio-economic and technical environments. This study enhances both theoretical and practical insights into maqasid as a multifaceted framework that informs ethics, policy, and governance within contemporary Islamic philosophy.
