<![CDATA[Interfaith marriage is a contemporary issue that continues to generate debate in Islamic jurisprudence, particularly in an increasingly pluralistic society. This study aims to analyze the law of interfaith marriage from a contemporary Islamic jurisprudence perspective by reviewing the views of classical schools of thought and the thoughts of modern scholars. The method used is qualitative research with a literature study approach to classical and contemporary Islamic jurisprudence sources. The results of the study indicate that the majority of Islamic jurisprudence schools prohibit the marriage of Muslim women to non-Muslim men, while there are differences of opinion regarding the permissibility of Muslim men to marry women from the People of the Book. In the context of contemporary Islamic jurisprudence, scholars tend to be more cautious, emphasizing the maqāṣid al-syarī'ah approach, especially in maintaining faith, family harmony, and children's education. In Indonesia, interfaith marriage is not legally recognized, thus reinforcing a more restrictive Islamic jurisprudence view. Thus, although there is room for permissibility in classical texts, the practice of interfaith marriage in the modern context is generally viewed as discouraged due to its potential negative impact on domestic life.]]>
