Abstract

This research explores the involvement of career women and its effects on achieving family unity using the Maqashid Shariah framework. The research approach in this article is normative and is analyzed qualitatively. The data analysis technique employed is deductive, used to determine the rights and responsibilities of husbands and wives in the gender concept, which is then further examined, developed, and described in more detail using the study of Maqashid Shariah. The findings are women pursuing careers have both positive and negative impacts. The negative impact includes reduced interaction with family members and potentially less affection for their children. On the positive side, career-oriented women can self-actualize, contribute their knowledge to society, build extensive networks and experiences, and help meet their family’s financial needs. Career women who effectively integrate their professional and family responsibilities can establish a harmonious balance between individual needs and familial obligations. Within the Maqashid Shariah framework, this research highlights the importance of ensuring that the role of career women aligns with Islamic values and principles, strengthening family unity, and promoting gender equality. The implications of this research underscore the need for policies and programs that promote gender equity, social support systems, and an awareness of Islamic values among career women. The findings serve as a valuable reference for policymakers and practitioners, aiding in developing strategies that support career women in attaining family unity per Islamic values and principles.
