Abstract

The issue of infidelity in a household is one of the serious problems that can undermine family harmony and stability. One analytical framework for understanding how families respond to such crises is the concept of family resilience, which refers to the capacity of a family to overcome challenges and maintain its integrity. The hadith of al-Ifki, which narrates the slander against ‘Aisha and her response to the accusation, provides valuable insight into the construction of family resilience in the face of severe trials. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the application of family resilience to the issue of infidelity in a household from the perspective of the hadith al-Ifki. The research employs a qualitative approach through literature analysis, examining the sources of hadith and the interpretations of scholars regarding al-Ifki and its relevance to modern family contexts. The findings indicate that the Prophet showed highly relevant problem-solving strategies, including the collective confidence, problem anatomy, problem identification, open communication, and family supports. These elements serve as a foundational framework for families in dealing with the problem of infidelity. In conclusion, the application of family resilience based on the hadith al-Ifki provides a constructive approach for navigating marital crices while maintaining family harmony and dignity.
