<![CDATA[Reproductive health services for adolescents and school-age children are a crucial issue in the national health system, especially following the enactment of Government Regulation (PP) No. 28 of 2024, which implements Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health. This regulation contains provisions regarding reproductive health communication, information, and education (KIE) and the provision of services, including contraception. However, provisions regarding the provision of contraception for adolescents have sparked controversy, due to concerns that they could open up space for practices that conflict with social, cultural, and religious norms. Therefore, reformulation is needed to ensure that policy objectives remain aligned with health protection without violating moral and sharia principles. From an Islamic legal perspective, reproductive health services for adolescents must be directed towards the principles of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah, specifically the protection of life (ḥifẓ al-nafs) and offspring (ḥifẓ al-nasl). Islam permits preventive and curative reproductive health education and services, but contraception can only be justified within the context of marriage for specific medical or economic reasons. Reformulation of the relevant articles in Government Regulation No. 28/2024 needs to explicitly emphasize that contraceptives are only intended for married adolescents, with medical supervision and guardian approval. Therefore, this analysis confirms that synchronization between positive law and Islamic law is crucial for maintaining adolescent reproductive health, while protecting moral and religious values. Reformulating the regulations will provide legal certainty, avoid multiple interpretations, and ensure reproductive health services are oriented toward the well-being of Indonesia's young generation.]]>
