<![CDATA[Childcare patterns in Islamic-based care institutions have received attention in various studies, but research that specifically discusses the implementation of the concept of hadhanah in caregiving practices in orphanages remains limited. This study aims to analyze the caregiving patterns applied at Panti Asuhan Aisyiyah Balai Gurah and to examine their conformity with the concept of hadhanah in Islamic family caregiving. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research informants consisted of orphanage administrators and caregivers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, and were then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results show that caregiving patterns at Panti Asuhan Aisyiyah Balai Gurah are implemented in a structured manner through educational, religious, disciplinary, independence, and character development guidance. These patterns have accommodated the basic principles of hadhanah, including the fulfillment of children’s basic needs, education, health, protection, and spiritual guidance. The relationship between caregivers and foster children is built through a familial approach that positions caregivers as substitute parental figures. However, limited individual attention remains a challenge in the implementation of institution-based caregiving. The conclusion of this study affirms that childcare in Islamic-based orphanages needs to integrate the fulfillment of children’s physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs in order to be oriented toward children’s welfare. The implications of this study contribute to the development of Islamic family law studies, particularly regarding the implementation of the concept of hadhanah in childcare institutions.]]>
