| Summary: | The spread of family problems in the contemporary period leads to divorce and family disengagement in society;
the study revolves around the emergence of social problems resulting from wife’s work outside home which
makes her neglects her certain rights and obligations. Moreover, cases of domestic violence have increased such
as beating and verbal abuse in all its forms. Accordingly, the study lies in building a happy family which is the
first nucleus of society whose integrity and corners must be protected, and also highlights the role of maqasid
shariah in solving problems of modern family; thus, the study aims at highlighting the rights and obligations
between spouses in accordance with Islamic law, and to identify the reasons and motivations that lead to the
existence of these problems and how to solve them from the maqasid shariah perspective. The study adopted the
inductive and analytical approach and looked into schools of Islamic jurisprudence, and discussed the views of
the jurists through explaining their authorities in the issue, and discussed the points of agreement and
disagreement, and then analyzed the texts and issues in the light of maqasid shariah. The result shows that the
main reason for having family problems is the lack of knowledge of the spouses with rights and obligations and
abiding by them. And that wife’s work is permitted within limits and restrictions that are not contrary to maqasid
shariah, and a working wife has to balance between her work and paying attention to family matters, and it also
shows that domestic violence within the family is contrary to maqasid shariah that is based on love and
compassion between the couple and that occurs as a result of ignorance of the shariah secret in building a family;
and it is compulsory on each of them to abide by the shariah teachings and stick to its maqasid (purposes) and to
implement them in the family life, and with this, family life will last in the obedience of Lord Allah (swt). |
