Abstract

This article examines the reformulation of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah by integrating Ibn ‘Ashur’s concept of freedom with Jasser Auda’s systems approach, particularly in relation to human rights and gender issues. The study employs a library research method with conceptual and comparative analysis. The findings indicate that Ibn ‘Ashur’s concept of freedom expands maqāṣid beyond a merely protective framework to emphasize autonomy, participation, and human dignity. Meanwhile, Auda’s systems approach provides a more dynamic and context-sensitive method for interpreting Islamic law in response to evolving social realities. The integration of these two perspectives results in a more adaptive, humanistic maqāṣid paradigm oriented toward justice and equality in the modern context.

Abstract

This research examines the tension between the concept of gender neutrality in contemporary Human Rights (HR) discourse and the principle of fitrah (innate human nature) in Islam. Background: The emergence of gender neutrality aims to deconstruct biological and social identities, which potentially disrupts the Islamic theological values regarding the duality of human creation. Methods: This study is a normative legal research employing syar'i and conceptual approaches through critical content analysis of Islamic legal sources and international human rights instruments. Results: The study finds an epistemological conflict where universal human rights are rooted in relative secular humanism, while Islam is based on absolute revelation. Gender neutrality creates legal ambiguity within the Islamic inheritance system (faraid), marriage guardianship (wilayah), and the structure of the Islamic family. Conclusion: The rejection of the deconstruction of fitrah in Islam is an effort to uphold maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly ḥifẓ al-nasl (preservation of progeny), because gender identity in Islam is immutable and biologically based, carrying clear legal consequences.
