From Classical Fiqh to Legal Codification: The Legal Transformation of Child Custody Age Limits in Indonesia and Egypt
View through CrossRef
Determining the age limit for child custody (ḥaḍānah) remains a significant issue in Islamic family law because of the divergent juristic interpretations of the termination of maternal custody and the transfer of custodial rights. This study critically examines the determination of child custody age limits within Islamic legal theory by comparing codification in the legal systems of Indonesia and Egypt. It employs a normative-comparative approach to analyze the transformation of classical fiqh principles into positive law and its implications for legal certainty and child protection. ḥaḍānah. This research adopts a normative legal method using statutory and comparative law approaches. The findings reveal that Islamic jurisprudence does not prescribe a universal age limit for child custody, but instead accommodates diverse juristic opinions based on different schools of legal reasoning. Indonesian law grants maternal custody until the child reaches the age of 12 years, whereas Egyptian law generally extends maternal custody until the age of 15 years, after which the child may choose the custodial parent. Despite these differences in legal formulation and approach, both countries codify child custody age limits to promote legal certainty and safeguard the best interests of children. The study concludes that the modern codification of ḥaḍānah reflects a dynamic adaptation of classical fiqh, balancing doctrinal diversity, contemporary social needs, and the effective protection of children's rights.
