Magister Theologiae - MTh / This study will research one of the objectives of Maqāsid al-
Sharī’ah (Objectives of the Islamic Law) namely Ḥifẓ al-Nasl better
known as the protection of progeny as well as family planning.
1. Sharī’ah (Islamic Law) has provided the principles that
govern any human activity and ensures protection of life,
ease and pleasure. The Qur’ān and the Sunnah (Prophetic
tradition) both emphasize flexibility and general principles
and guidelines that may be applied to all areas of life. Thus,
issues relating to marriage, protection of progeny, sexuality,
and even contraception in Islām have also been
accommodated in the Qur’ān and Sunnah. Moreover,
contraception in relation to family planning have a long
history in Islām and has significance within the broader
Islamic ethos of marriage and sexuality.
This study aims to sketch the historical development of Maqāsid
al-Sharī’ah as well as its formulation and subsequent development.
