Abstract

This meta-analysis and systematic review explore the issue of interfaith marriage within Islamic law, analyzing both traditional and contemporary perspectives. While classical Islamic jurisprudence generally prohibits Muslim women from marrying non-Muslim men, modern scholarship increasingly challenges these restrictive interpretations, advocating for a more inclusive approach based on the ethical principles of Sharia. The review examines the role of gender in shaping these legal norms, highlighting the disproportionate impact on Muslim women, and explores regional variations in the application of Islamic marriage laws. It further discusses the influence of legal pluralism and fatwas in shaping public policy and social acceptance of interfaith unions. The study also identifies significant gaps in empirical research regarding the lived experiences of interfaith couples, suggesting that future studies should focus on understanding how these couples navigate legal, social, and religious challenges. The findings recommend that both legal reform and scholarly reinterpretation are essential to accommodate the realities of interfaith marriages while respecting Islamic values and promoting human rights. By offering a more flexible and justice-oriented approach, Islamic law can better address the needs of interfaith families in contemporary multicultural societies.

Abstract

Child adoption remains a complex and sensitive issue within Islamic legal discourse, particularly due to its tension with Western legal frameworks that often permit full adoptive rights, including name changes and inheritance. This study addresses the central problem: how can Islamic law reconcile child protection needs with religious norms that prohibit altering a child’s lineage (nasab)? The research aims to investigate how the concept of kafalah in Islamic jurisprudence serves as an alternative to formal adoption and how Muslim-majority countries navigate the duality between sharia and civil legal systems. Employing a meta-analysis and systematic review approach based on PRISMA guidelines, this study synthesizes 42 peer-reviewed articles from the past decade sourced from Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Springer, and Wiley. Inclusion criteria focused on works discussing Islamic legal perspectives, national law, and practical implementations of adoption or child custody. The results reveal five dominant themes: the incompatibility of Western-style adoption with classical Islamic fiqh, kafalah as a legal-religious framework, the roles of guardianship (wali), financial support (nafaqah), and inheritance, the legal challenges posed by dual legal systems, and the emerging hybrid models in countries such as Morocco and Indonesia. The findings suggest that while Islamic law strictly preserves genealogical integrity, there is room for innovation through kafalah-based mechanisms that ensure child welfare. This study contributes to both scholarly debate and legal reform by offering an evidence-based understanding of how Islamic norms and child rights can be harmonized in contemporary legal systems.
