<![CDATA[Environmental protection requires legal reasoning that clarifies its relationship with family rights and responsibilities. This article examines the position of ḥifẓ al-bī’ah within Maqāṣid al-Usrah and formulates the limits of Muslim families’ ecological responsibilities. This normative Islamic legal study employs library research with conceptual, Islamic legal theory, and maqāṣid approaches. Primary materials comprise the Qur’an, hadith, and works by ‘Aṭiyyah, al-Qaraḍāwī, al-Ghazālī, al-Māwardī, and Ibn Qudāmah, supported by research on the environment and family relations. The analysis classifies family objectives, examines underlying obligations and necessary means, and assesses responsibility holders and practical limits. The findings position environmental protection as a cross-cutting dimension supporting family safety, intergenerational continuity, property management, and tranquillity. The resulting principle, actor, action, limit framework distinguishes obligations, recommendations, and permissible choices according to harm, necessity, capacity, and control. Applications include household management, environmental education, and environmentally oriented mahr, distinguishing objects, services, and conservation commitments. The article contributes a framework linking environmental benefits to the protection of family rights. Its implications concern premarital guidance and family education; its effectiveness requires empirical investigation.]]>
