| dc.description.abstract | This study will research one of the objectives of Maqasid al- Shariah (Objectives of the Islamic Law) namely Ḥifẓ al-Nasl better known as the protection of progeny as well as family planning. Shariah (Islamic Law) has provided the principles that govern any human activity and ensures protection of life, ease and pleasure. The Quran 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 Islam have also been accommodated in the Quran and Sunnah. Moreover, contraception in relation to family planning have a long history in Islam and has significance within the broader Islamic ethos of marriage and sexuality. This study aims to sketch the historical development of Maqasid al- Shariah as well as its formulation and subsequent development. | en_US |
