Reinterpretasi Hadis Hak dan Kewajiban Suami Istri dalam Kitab Uqud al-Lujjain: Perspektif Maqashid al-Syari'ah Yusuf Al-Qaradawi

Abstract

This study examines hadiths concerning the rights and obligations of husband and wife in the book Uqud al-Lujjain by Sheikh Muhammad Nawawi al-Bantani through the lens of Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah, drawing on the thought of Yusuf al-Qaradawi. The research is motivated by the persistently high divorce rate in Indonesia and the tendency among segments of society to interpret hadiths on marital relations literally, which risks producing inequality and even domestic violence. This is a library research study using a qualitative approach, employing documentation techniques and content analysis, with Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi's theory of Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah serving as the analytical framework. The findings show that five hadiths in Uqud al-Lujjain concerning wifely obedience, moral character and gentleness, kindness toward family, a wife's right to maintenance and protection, and leadership with distributive responsibility must be understood integratively rather than in isolation. A wife's obedience does not signify absolute compliance, and a husband's leadership is not a license for domination but a trust (amānah) aimed at achieving family welfare (maṣlaḥah). This study concludes that a maqāṣid-based approach offers a more contextual and relevant understanding of contemporary Muslim family issues.
