CHILDFREE IN THE CONTEXT OF ISLAMIC LAW AND INTERNATIONAL LAW: A COMPARISON AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Qorry Ulfah Lasia, Muhammad Bahagia

Abstract


The idea of childfree is examined in this study from the viewpoints of international and Islamic law, as well as its consequences for sustainable development on a global scale. With reference to an examination of primary and secondary legal sources, a normative approach is the research methodology employed. According to Islamic law, not having children is against the principle of maqashid sharia, particularly when it comes to preserving the continuity of offspring (hifz al-nasl), which is governed by the Qur'an (QS. An-Nisa: 1) and the Prophet Muhammad's Hadith, which encourage Muslims to have as many children as possible. In contrast, the principle of human rights, particularly Article 16 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Article 23 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which ensures individual freedom in establishing and structuring families, protects the freedom to choose not to have children under international law. The findings demonstrate the basic disparities between the two legal systems, with international law placing a higher priority on individual freedom and Islamic law on the collective duties of the ummah. However, the topic of childlessness has a big influence on sustainable development, particularly when it comes to social and demographic factors. Therefore, in order to maintain a balance between individual rights and group duty to the community, policies that may align local values with global principles are required.
