This study analyzes child-rearing practices based on Islamic law in Macanang Village, Tanete Riattang Barat District, Bone Regency, focusing on the internalization of religious values in child-rearing. This field research employed theological-normative, juridical-normative, and empirical approaches. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed qualitatively. The findings show that religious values are instilled through habituation, positive role modeling, advice, guidance and supervision, as well as educational forms of discipline. Children receive religious education from their families, schools, and communities. These practices are consistent with the Qur’an, Hadith, and Indonesian positive law, particularly Article 45(1) of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage and Article 77(3) of the Compilation of Islamic Law. Mothers play a more dominant role in child-rearing, although fathers’ involvement remains essential. Community and government support is also necessary to foster a generation grounded in Islamic values.
