Abstract

The concept of childfree represents a multifaceted issue, influenced by a diverse array of factors, including economic, cultural, social, and philosophical considerations. A comprehensive understanding of the childfree phenomenon necessitates an approach that extends beyond strict reliance on religious interpretation, incorporating other scientific disciplines. Therefore, the integration of morals and science through a multidisciplinary framework becomes imperative. In this context, the mubadalah approach, aligned with the integration-interconnection paradigm, emerges as a suitable methodology for unravelling the complexities of childfree within society. This article endeavours to analyse childfree from the perspective of mubadalah, prioritizing the dialogue between science and morality within the context of marriage. The research methodology employed is descriptive qualitative, employing a literature study approach. The findings reveal that employing the semipermeable mubadalah method to analyse the position of childfree in society has led to the emergence of three new perspectives: the just perspective, the humanist perspective, and the perspective rooted in the value of tawhid. These three perspectives encompass the following notions: firstly, the presence of children assumes a central role in the marital union, requiring thoughtful consideration by both partners; secondly, childfree is not solely a matter of fitrah (innate human disposition), but also involves psychological and moral dimensions; and finally, childfree, from a medical standpoint, is permissible within the context of Islam. These perspectives, derived from medical disciplines, moral frameworks, and religious interpretations, contribute to a nuanced understanding of childfree.
城市穆斯林中的无子女现象:科学与道德的多学科考察
无子女的概念是一个多方面的问题,受到各种因素的影响,包括经济、文化、社会和哲学方面的考虑。对无子女现象的全面理解需要一种超越严格依赖宗教解释的方法,结合其他科学学科。因此,通过多学科框架将道德与科学相结合变得势在必行。在这种背景下,mubadalah方法与整合-互连范式相一致,成为揭示社会中无子女复杂性的合适方法。本文试图从mubadalah的角度分析无子女,优先考虑婚姻背景下科学与道德之间的对话。采用的研究方法是描述定性,采用文献研究法。研究结果表明,运用半渗透的mubadalah方法分析无子女的社会地位导致了三种新的视角的出现:正义视角、人道主义视角和根植于tawhid价值的视角。这三种观点包括以下概念:首先,孩子的存在在婚姻中扮演着核心角色,需要双方深思熟虑;其次,无子女不仅仅是一种欲望(人类天生的性格),还涉及心理和道德层面;最后,从医学的角度来看,没有孩子在伊斯兰教的背景下是允许的。这些来自医学学科、道德框架和宗教解释的观点有助于对无子女的细致理解。
