THE MAQASID AL-SHARI'AH IN MULTICULTURAL FAMILY CASES: A PERSPECTIVE ON INTERFAITH MARRIAGE
Keywords:
Maqasid al-Shari'ah, Multicultural Family, Interfaith MarriageAbstract
This study examines the application of Maqasid al-Shari'ah in the context of interfaith marriage within multicultural families. Employing a descriptive-analytical qualitative method, this research explores how the principles of Maqasid al-Shari'ah provide an ethical and legal framework for addressing the complexities of interfaith marriages. The findings indicate that Maqasid al-Shari'ah offers a holistic approach through three primary aspects of protection: hifz al-din (protection of religion), hifz al-nafs (protection of life), and hifz al-'ird (protection of dignity). In its implementation, this approach considers three levels of needs: dharuriyyat (essentials), hajiyyat (complementary needs), and tahsiniyyat (embellishments). The main challenges identified include divergent interpretations of Islamic law, social pressures, and regulatory limitations. To address these challenges, solutions based on Maqasid al-Shari'ah—such as enhancing religious literacy, promoting multicultural education, and enforcing fair and flexible legal practices—are proposed. The study concludes that Maqasid al-Shari'ah can serve as a bridge between religious norms and social needs in fostering harmony within multicultural families while upholding the core principles of Islamic law.
