<![CDATA[This study aims to reflect on the relationship between fiqh of civilization and gender equality in the implementation of halaqah fiqh of civilization in East Java Islamic boarding schools. This is because all this time, Islamic boarding schools are identical with classical studies that discredit the position of women in fiqh literature. Meanwhile, the idea of fiqh of civilization is an effort to reorient inclusive fiqh. Therefore, the correlation and relationship between fiqh of civilization and gender equality in the pesantren world needs attention through a gender equality-based fiqh of civilization halaqah. As an effort to obtain in-depth data and analysis, this study uses qualitative research through primary and secondary data on the implementation of halaqah fiqh of civilization in several East Java pesantren. Data collection methods included in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation of the “Halaqah Fiqih Peradaban” sessions, the course materials for these sessions, and the views of Islamic boarding school leaders, teachers, and students regarding gender equality issues. The data that has been found is then analyzed using content analysis to provide an in-depth study of the role of East Java pesantren in responding to gender equality issues through halaqah fiqh of civilization. This study found that the response of Islamic boarding schools in East Java to gender equality issues is evidenced by the development of gender equality awareness within the boarding school environment. Furthermore, the practice of gender-equality-based fiqh circles in East Java’s Islamic boarding schools demonstrates the integration of gender equality principles into the reality of boarding school education. Meanwhile, the implications of implementing gender-equality-based civilization fiqh halaqah in East Java pesantren are significant in shaping ijtihad among santri with gender-equality values.]]>
