The study addresses the relationship between Islamic legal principles, constitutional guarantees, and the practical protection of vulnerable groups within the Indonesian legal system. A qualitative field research approach is employed to explore students' interpretations of justice, public welfare, constitutional rights, and the integration of Islamic law with Indonesian positive law. Data are collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis, then examined using thematic analysis to identify patterns of interpretation and legal reasoning. The analysis focuses on substantive justice, the application of maslahah, the state's responsibility to protect constitutional rights, and the challenges of reconciling Islamic legal interpretations with constitutional principles. The study is expected to contribute to Islamic legal studies and constitutional law by providing an empirical perspective on how postgraduate law students understand the relationship between religious values and rights protection. Its findings may also inform legal education by highlighting the importance of critical reasoning, constitutional awareness, and sensitivity to the needs of women and children. The study emphasizes that the integration of justice and maslahah should be evaluated in accordance with constitutional guarantees, applicable legislation, and the principles of human dignity and non-discrimination.]]>
