Abstract

Purpose – Contemporary Ḥaḍānah practices are often confronted with complex social and economic realities. Childcare practices by Single mothers working as sex workers must bear full responsibility for childcare amid economic pressures and moral stigma. This study focuses on the tension between the principle of child welfare and the social marginalization of single mothers who are sex workers. Design/methods/approach – This research employs a qualitative field method with a case study. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations of four single mothers who worked as sex workers in Astana Village, Cirebon, Indonesia. The data were analyzed thematically using the interpretive framework of Qirā’ah Mubādalah and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Findings – The research findings show that the practice of ḥaḍānah by single sex worker mothers in Astana Village, Cirebon, Indonesia reflects a reciprocal caregiving relationship oriented towards the welfare of the child, as emphasized in the Qirā’ah Mubādalah perspective. Analysis using Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory reveals that caregiving is carried out simultaneously and contextually through the fulfillment of physiological needs, safety, affection, and even the child's future aspirations, despite structural limitations. Research implications/limitations – These results confirm that the suitability of ḥaḍānah cannot be measured by the stigma of the mother's work but rather by her commitment and ability to fully meet the needs of her children. Originality/value – This research offers a novel interdisciplinary analysis integrating Qirā’ah Mubādalah and Maslow’s theory to reinterpret maternal resilience and justice in childcare, promoting a more compassionate and contextual understanding of Islamic family law.

Abstract

Determining the correct Qibla direction is of utmost importance for Muslims. However, it is ironic that many people are indifferent to the accuracy of the Qibla direction in local mosques, often relying on religious figures without consulting experts in the field. This negligence often results in inaccurate Qibla directions, especially in historical mosques that still stand today. This study examines several historical mosques in Cirebon, Indonesia, including Pesantren Benda Kerep Mosque, Kramat Kalilunyu Mosque, Kramat Kalijaga Mosque, Masjid Merah Panjunan, and Jagabayan Mosque. Among these, only the Pesantren Benda Kerep Mosque has an accurate Qibla direction according to Islamic astronomy (Ilmu Falak). From a jurisprudential perspective (Fiqh), according to the Hanafi, Maliki, and Hanbali schools of thought, the Qibla directions of the historical mosques—except for Jagabayan Mosque—are still acceptable, as they are classified as facing the general direction of the Kaaba (Jihat al-Ka’bah). In contrast, the Pesantren Benda Kerep Mosque's Qibla precisely faces the physical structure of the Kaaba (‘Ain al-Ka’bah). However, Jagabayan Mosque’s Qibla cannot be tolerated as it deviates beyond the acceptable range according to the Hanafi school's concept of jihat sughra. In the Shafi'i school, the strongest opinion is that only the Pesantren Benda Kerep Mosque qualifies as properly aligned with the Qibla, while the others deviate from the correct direction
