Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between Islamic bioethics and reproductive rights, focusing on contraceptive decisions made by Muslim couples in Indonesia. Using the maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah approach, this study aims to evaluate whether contraceptive use aligns with the objectives of sharia in preserving the life, health, and well-being of society. Through a literature review and analysis of current data, this article presents a comprehensive perspective on the challenges and opportunities faced by Muslim couples in accessing and using contraception.
