<![CDATA[This article aims to examine the right to breastfeed within the framework of Maqashid Sharia and to analyze the extent to which lactation room policies in Indonesia reflect the principles of public benefit and protection. This study uses a normative-juridical method supported by conceptual and comparative approaches. Data were obtained through literature research on statutory regulations, Islamic legal sources, fiqh literature, and relevant scientific publications. The findings show that breastfeeding rights are closely related to hifz al-nafs, hifz al-nasl, and hifz al-‘aql because breastfeeding contributes to the protection of life, lineage, health, and child development. Although Indonesian regulations have normatively supported the provision of lactation rooms, their implementation remains limited due to weak enforcement mechanisms and the absence of strong institutional commitment. This article concludes that lactation room policy should not only be understood as an administrative obligation, but also as a manifestation of Maqashid Sharia that protects mothers and children. The novelty of this study lies in integrating Islamic legal philosophy with Indonesian positive law to strengthen the ethical and normative basis of lactation room policy. ]]>
