Abstract

The strong emphasis on mothers in children’s character education may raise questions about gendered divisions of parenting responsibilities and the extent of paternal involvement. This study aims to analyze the role of mothers in children’s character education from an Islamic perspective. A qualitative library research approach was employed using thematic content analysis. Data from 35 scholarly sources published between 2014 and 2023 were analyzed through source triangulation, expert validation, and peer review. The findings reveal three interconnected dimensions of maternal roles. First, mothers function as the madrasah al-ula (first school) by introducing faith, habituating worship, and cultivating moral values from early childhood. Second, mothers employ family-based strategies for character formation, including giving meaningful names, praying for children, stimulating intellectual development, fostering independence, establishing healthy communication, and using the environment as a learning resource. Third, mothers implement Islamic character education through consistent role modeling in everyday life, reinforced by religious values concerning the dignity of motherhood and filial respect for parents. The study concludes that mothers emerge as key actors in Islamic character education through religious instruction, contextual parenting strategies, and everyday role modeling. These findings contribute to Islamic education scholarship by highlighting how maternal education integrates faith, worship, moral development, and character formation within family life, while also raising the need to consider more balanced parental involvement in contemporary family education.

Abstract

The increasing use of halal and contemporary cosmetic products among Muslim women has generated questions concerning waterproof cosmetics and their implications for the validity of wuḍūʾ in everyday religious practices. This study aims to analyze the relationship between wuḍūʾ and waterproof cosmetics from a hadith-based perspective, particularly concerning ritual validity and its implications for contemporary Muslim women’s religious practices. This study employs a qualitative literature review using thematic analysis, document-based data collection, and source triangulation to examine the validity of wuḍūʾ among users of waterproof cosmetics within a hadith and Islamic jurisprudence framework. The findings reveal three main results. First, wuḍūʾ encompasses spiritual, legal, and hygienic dimensions while intersecting with contemporary aesthetic practices, creating negotiation between ritual purity and personal appearance. Second, the cited hadiths emphasize that water must reach all body parts that must be washed; therefore, a cosmetic layer that prevents water from reaching the skin may affect the validity of wuḍūʾ. Third, waterproof cosmetics enhance makeup durability through water-resistant formulations but may have implications for skin health and ritual purification when their formulations create a physical barrier to water contact. The study concludes that the relationship between wuḍūʾ and waterproof cosmetics reflects tension between religious requirements and contemporary aesthetic needs. The relevant consideration is not merely whether a product is labeled “waterproof,” but whether its formulation prevents water from reaching the skin. This study contributes to understanding māniʿ (obstruction) in Islamic jurisprudence by connecting hadith-based principles with cosmetic science and provides practical considerations for Muslim women and beauty industry practitioners.

Abstract

Gender inequality within the family is evident in the unequal division of labor, where women engaged in productive work continue to bear a double burden because domestic responsibilities remain primarily assigned to them. This study aims to analyze how women’s dual roles in the domestic and productive spheres within the plantation sector are formed and reproduced within rural gender structures. This study employs a qualitative interpretative approach through field research involving observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed inductively using Bourdieu’s theoretical framework and validated through triangulation and member checking. The findings show that: (1) women perform dual roles, remaining primarily responsible for domestic work while also engaging in productive labor in the plantation sector, whereas men remain positioned as the main breadwinners within rural gender structures; and (2) women’s productive work is reproduced through the interaction of patriarchal habitus, socio-cultural capital, and the social fields of the family and plantation, which continuously sustain gendered divisions of labor in rural life. The study concludes that women’s involvement in plantation work does not necessarily transform unequal gender relations. Women continue to bear a double burden, while patriarchal relations are reproduced through the interaction of habitus, capital, and social fields. Theoretically, this study contributes to Bourdieu’s perspective by demonstrating how internalized patriarchal dispositions contribute to the reproduction of gender inequality without direct coercion. Practically, it calls for critical gender education and village-level policies aimed at transforming internalized gender norms and promoting a more equitable distribution of domestic labor.

Abstract

The Iranian legal framework formally recognizes principles of equality, yet gender-differentiated laws and policies continue to constrain women’s rights, creating tension between domestic legal practices and international human rights norms. This study aims to analyze the development of Iranian women’s position, state-imposed restrictions on their rights, and women’s resistance strategies in pursuing gender justice within the post-revolutionary theocratic context. The study employs a qualitative library research approach with thematic analysis based on the six-phase framework of Braun and Clarke (2006). Source triangulation was used to strengthen the credibility of evidence derived from primary and secondary sources. The findings reveal three interconnected patterns. First, women’s position shifted from state-led emancipation during the Pahlavi era to increased restriction following the 1979 Revolution, while reformist movements continued to advocate gender equality through alternative interpretations of Islamic law. Second, state regulations concerning education, public participation, compulsory hijab, and bodily autonomy constrained women’s rights and were accompanied by sustained resistance, particularly following the death of Mahsa Amini. Third, Iranian women developed diverse resistance strategies through human rights advocacy, cross-ideological feminist coalitions, digital activism, and public mobilization. Overall, the findings indicate that women’s rights in Iran are shaped by an ongoing contestation between state authority grounded in Islamic legal interpretations and women’s demands for equality, autonomy, and citizenship. The study contributes to progressive legal perspectives by identifying spaces for negotiation, reinterpretation, and gradual reform within a restrictive legal environment, while highlighting women’s collective agency in advancing gender justice through legal advocacy, digital mobilization, and transnational solidarity.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted family economies and affected households’ ability to meet daily needs. This study aims to analyze Muslim scholars’ perspectives on wives serving as primary breadwinners during the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify the factors contributing to this shift in roles. This study employed a literature-based research method with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through documentation and analyzed using thematic analysis, with validation through source triangulation, reference adequacy, and peer debriefing. The findings reveal two main points. First, Muslim scholars position financial maintenance (nafaqah) as primarily the husband’s responsibility, while wives may assume the role of primary breadwinner under particular circumstances, including husbands’ incapacity, illness, death, abandonment, or economic hardship. Second, four factors contributed to wives becoming primary breadwinners during the pandemic: economic pressure, husbands’ neglect of maintenance obligations, limited fulfillment of family responsibilities, and husbands’ inability to work due to illness. The study concludes that the pandemic accelerated changes in wives’ economic roles while their domestic responsibilities often remained, creating a double burden. The study contributes to role theory by demonstrating that role transformation may emerge as an adaptive response to crises and household vulnerabilities. It also highlights the importance of Islamic family law literacy, community-based marital counseling, and mechanisms for protecting wives’ economic rights.

Abstract

Moderate Islam is often understood primarily as a counter-discourse to radicalism and conservatism, yet it also provides an important framework for women’s empowerment through Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, major institutional actors in Indonesia’s moderate Islamic landscape. This study examines patterns of moderate Islam, women’s empowerment initiatives within NU and Muhammadiyah, and the role of moderate Islamic orientations in advancing women’s liberation and gender equality. The study employs a qualitative library research approach, using the interactive qualitative analysis model of Miles and Huberman, source triangulation, and data from books, journal articles, and relevant institutional documents. The findings reveal three interconnected patterns. First, NU and Muhammadiyah demonstrate a shift from the traditionalist–modernist dichotomy toward a more inclusive, dialogical, and maslahah-oriented model of moderate Islam. Second, their women’s organizations promote empowerment through education, advocacy, leadership development, socio-economic initiatives, and gender-responsive Islamic jurisprudence. Third, moderate Islamic approaches grounded in maqāṣid al-sharīʿah support contextual interpretations of Islamic teachings that challenge patriarchal interpretations and religious justifications for violence while affirming gender equality and women’s empowerment. The study concludes that moderate Islam functions not merely as a religious identity but also as an institutional and epistemological framework that connects Islamic normative commitments to women’s empowerment and gender justice. Its contribution lies in linking maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, contextual interpretation, and institutionalized women’s empowerment practices within the Indonesian Islamic context.

Abstract

The determination of nasab for children born of zinā through ilḥāq remains a contested issue in Islamic family law. Divergent interpretations of scriptural texts have led Muslim jurists to differ on the validity of paternal acknowledgment and its legal consequences. This study aims to analyze juristic opinions on the establishment of nasab for children born of zinā through ilḥāq, examine Muhammad Abu Zahrah’s position, and explain the legal evidence and methods of istinbāṭ underlying his view. This qualitative library-based study focuses on Abu Zahrah’s legal thought, with data analyzed through thematic analysis and validated through source triangulation and referential adequacy. The findings reveal three main points. First, juristic disagreement indicates that ilḥāq in cases of children born of zinā remains within the domain of ijtihād: some scholars permit it to protect the child’s legal and social interests, whereas others reject paternal attribution because zinā does not constitute a valid basis for establishing nasab. Second, Abu Zahrah permits ilḥāq through acknowledgment by the biological father under specified conditions, particularly where zinā is not explicitly acknowledged, thereby allowing recognition of nasab and establishing maintenance as a consequence of kinship. Third, Abu Zahrah’s istinbāṭ integrates bayānī, taʿlīlī, and istiṣlāḥī reasoning, drawing on the ḥadīth al-firāsh, Qur’anic indications concerning the six-month minimum gestational period, and considerations of the child’s interests. The study concludes that Abu Zahrah’s approach represents an ijtihādī framework that reconciles the legal integrity of nasab with child protection and legal certainty through an integrative maqāṣid al-sharīʿah-oriented approach.

Abstract

Gender equality in Islam remains a central concern in contemporary Islamic family law scholarship, particularly regarding women’s reproductive roles, inheritance law, and the provisions of ʿiddah and iḥdād, which are frequently perceived as sources of injustice toward women. While previous studies have explored these issues through hermeneutical, Islamic feminist, and social constructionist perspectives, most have examined them in isolation and have not sufficiently addressed their interrelationship as components of a unified process of family law transformation rooted in Qur’anic values. This study analyzes the concept of gender equality from a Qur’anic perspective and examines the transformation of Islamic family law as a means of advancing gender justice. A qualitative library research design is employed, using the thematic exegesis method (tafsīr mawḍūʿī) alongside qualitative content analysis. Data sources include the Qur’an, hadith, classical and contemporary Qur’anic commentaries, and scholarly literature on gender and Islamic family law. The findings indicate that the Qur’an establishes gender equality on three foundational principles: piety, shared human origin, and human dignity. These principles are reflected in family law reforms through the transformation of women’s reproductive roles, the recognition of women’s economic rights within inheritance law, and the establishment of social protection mechanisms through the provisions of ʿiddah and iḥdād. The study develops a conceptual framework that situates these three dimensions as interconnected mechanisms of Islamic family-law transformation from patriarchal traditions toward gender justice grounded in Qur’anic values. The findings support a contextual and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah-oriented approach to Islamic family law that promotes justice, public welfare, and respect for human dignity in contemporary Muslim societies.
