Abstract

This paper conducts a comprehensive Shariah review of contemporary marital issues through the lens of expediency (maslahah), aiming to address the challenges faced by modern couples while aligning with Islamic jurisprudential principles. The review explores how traditional Shariah concepts can be applied to current marital problems, such as issues of equity, financial obligations, and interpersonal conflicts, within the framework of expediency. By analyzing classical texts and contemporary interpretations, the study assesses the adaptability of Shariah rulings to modern marital dynamics and societal changes. It also evaluates the role of maslahah in reconciling traditional Islamic values with the practical needs of today’s families, offering insights into how expediency can guide marital harmony and resolve disputes in a manner that preserves both Islamic integrity and the well-being of the family unit. This investigation provides a nuanced perspective on the intersection of religious law and modern marital realities, contributing to a more informed approach to Shariah compliance in the context of contemporary relationships.
