<![CDATA[This study aims to reinterpret the role of Muslim women in the domestic sphere from the perspective of Fazlur Rahman's hermeneutics. Gender issues in Islam often become a topic of debate, especially regarding the interpretation of religious texts that are gender-biased and tend to limit women's roles solely to the domestic realm. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach and Fazlur Rahman's hermeneutical analysis, particularly the "double movement" theory he developed. The study's findings indicate that Fazlur Rahman's hermeneutics offers a comprehensive framework for understanding the role of women in Islam in a more just and progressive manner. Rahman emphasizes the importance of understanding the socio-historical context of revelation (the first movement) to grasp the Qur'an's "moral idealism," and then recontextualizing it into contemporary reality (the second movement). In the domestic context, the role of women as individuals, daughters, wives, and mothers is reinterpreted as follows: as individuals, women possess dignity and rights equal to men; as daughters, they are entitled to protection and education without restrictions; as wives, marriage is a partnership founded on justice and equality, where the husband's leadership is a duty to protect, not to dominate; and as mothers, their status is highly respected, with a central role in educating the next generation, which does not confine them solely to the domestic sphere. The implications of this interpretation for Islamic law include encouraging the rationalization of fiqh, revitalizing the concept of ijtihad-ijma', expanding the application of the qiyas method, and promoting two schools of juridical thought relevant to the challenges of modernity.Thus, this study concludes that a proper understanding of Islamic teachings, through Fazlur Rahman's hermeneutics, can correct gender-biased views and create a more just and harmonious household relationship in accordance with Islamic ideals. ]]>
