| description | The polemic on the issue of child marriage has not only been debated among human rights groups in recent decades but
has also been included in the discourse of contemporary Muslim scholars. Yusuf al-Qaradawi is a contemporary scholar
who is responsive in discussing issues of women and girls that concern the international community, including child
marriage. This article explores issue of child marriage from al-Qaradawi’s fiqh methodology, which offers solutions to
contemporary societal issues according to the Islamic legal framework. Qualitative methods through a content analysis
were used in al-Qaradawi’s work on Islamic law and child marriage. This article shows that al-Qaradawi’s position on
the issue of child marriage is centred on the priority of protecting children’s rights from harmful traditional practices
based on the Siyasah al-Shar’iyya. The government should adopt al-Qaradawi’s point of view to reforming the Islamic
Family Law Enactment to protect the child’s best interest from this harmful practice. |
