Abstract

This study aims to examine how Hulondhalo women, particularly those actively involved in Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) organizations in Gorontalo, interpret and perform their roles in maintaining family resilience amid the dynamics of urban society; how the synergy between Islamic moderation (wasatiyyah), local customs, and the principles of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah shapes family resilience practices; and how NU women negotiate domestic and public roles within the context of social and digital transformation. This study employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design conducted in the urban area of Gorontalo, involving key informants consisting of NU women members in Gorontalo City, traditional leaders, and religious leaders selected purposively. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, and were subsequently analyzed using the interactive analysis technique of Miles and Huberman through the analytical lenses of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah, local customs, and the principles of wasatiyyah. The findings reveal three major points. First, there is a reinterpretation of the family breadwinner role in which women contribute economically without diminishing the values of family harmony. Second, the strengthening of domestic deliberation (musyawarah) functions as a decision-making mechanism grounded in moderation values. Third, there is an integration between Gorontalo customs and the principles of Maqāṣid in constructing adaptive family norms, including the utilization of digital platforms to reinforce educational and economic family functions. The study also finds that NU women position themselves as guardians of Islamic and cultural values based on the principle of adati hula-hula’a to syar a’, syara’ hula-hula’a to Kitabullah, thereby balancing the demands of modernity with religious values. The originality of this study lies in the formulation of a synthesis framework of adat–Maqāṣid–wasatiyyah as a conceptual model of urban family resilience that is not merely normative, but also contextual and applicable in responding to social, cultural, and digital transformations within urban communities.

Abstract

The protection of women’s rights in the process of polygamy in Gorontalo City is a crucial issue that requires careful examination to emphasize the fundamental objectives of Islamic law. Legal protection represents an important manifestation of Islamic law’s goals in realizing justice, public welfare, and the protection of individual rights, particularly those of women. In this context, attention is directed to the preventive role of the Religious Court as well as the potential negligence of justice intermediaries (justice brokers) in prioritizing the protection of women’s rights, which can be analyzed through the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. Using the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah framework, this study evaluates whether polygamous practices in Gorontalo City fulfill the objectives of Islamic law, including the protection of religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn), life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), intellect (ḥifẓ al-‘aql), lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl), and property (ḥifẓ al-māl). The findings indicate that several challenges remain in both regulatory structures and practical implementation, particularly regarding weak verification mechanisms, unequal power relations within families, and the limited role of justice brokers in ensuring that women’s rights are fully considered during the legal process. From the perspective of justice theory proposed by John Rawls, the protection of women’s rights requires fairness in access to information and equal bargaining positions in decision-making. When the first wife lacks adequate information or experiences pressure to consent to polygamy, the process fails to meet the principle of justice as fairness. Therefore, strengthening the role of the Religious Court, improving oversight of justice brokers, and ensuring transparency in legal information are essential steps toward protecting women’s rights and achieving justice in polygamous practices.

Abstract

Purpose: This study interrogates the epistemological integration of religious moderation within Fiqh Muamalah instruction, addressing the persistent gap between normative legal formalism and the demands of plural socio-economic realities. While prior studies have treated moderation as an external or complementary discourse. Methodology: To operationalize this claim, the study employs a Research and Development (R&D) design using the ADDIE model to construct and empirically test moderation-based teaching materials in the Islamic Economic Law (HESY) Study Program at IAIN Gorontalo. The empirical phase involved 32 students and 3 lecturers, selected through purposive sampling, alongside expert validators in Fiqh, religious moderation, and instructional design. Findings: The findings demonstrate that embedding the principles of tasamuh (tolerance), tawazun (balance), and ‘adl (justice) within core transactional topics significantly enhances students’ analytical capacity in resolving complex socio-economic cases. Quantitatively, the intervention yielded an average N-gain score of 0.64, indicating moderate effectiveness, alongside a 35% improvement in case-based reasoning performance. Expert validation further confirms the robustness of the developed materials (mean feasibility score: 91%). Theoretically, this study repositions Fiqh Muamalah from a predominantly text-centered and doctrinal paradigm toward a context-responsive legal reasoning framework grounded in maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. It demonstrates that moderation is not an auxiliary value but a constitutive principle that mediates between legal normativity and social harmony.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between online loan debt, household economic stress, and vulnerability to divorce from the perspective of maqashid syariah. It seeks to explain how the rapid expansion of digital lending services influences family economic resilience and social well-being within the framework of Islamic economics. Method: This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach based on a literature review using content analysis. Data were sourced from regulations, national statistical reports, academic articles, fatwas, and court rulings published online. The analysis was conducted by identifying patterns of argumentation, empirical trends, and conceptual relationships between the development of P2P lending fintech, family economic dynamics, and economic factors contributing to divorce. Relevant literature was further examined through the lens of contemporary maqashid syariah to understand the broader social implications of digital financial practices. Results: The study indicates that ease of access, fast disbursement processes, and low administrative barriers encourage repeated use of digital loans, particularly among households with unstable incomes and limited financial literacy. This pattern has the potential to trigger debt accumulation, financial pressure, psychological stress, a decline in the quality of communication between partners, and an increase in domestic conflict, all of which are associated with heightened vulnerability to divorce. The findings also suggest that excessive dependence on online borrowing may weaken household financial sustainability and undermine long-term family stability. Implication: This study underscores the importance of consumer protection policies that not only focus on cost transparency and data security but also include assessments of repayment capacity, strengthened financial literacy, responsible lending practices, and measures to safeguard family economic resilience. Novelty: This study integrates P2P lending fintech research with studies on family resilience through the lens of Jasser Auda’s contemporary maqashid syariah systems perspective. This study expands the discourse on Islamic economics by positioning the protection of wealth (hifz al-mal) and the protection of family/progeny (hifz al-nasl) as a unified systemic framework for assessing the impact of digital financial innovations.
