This study aims to reinterpret the legal status of contraception in contemporary Islamic jurisprudence using the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah framework. With the advancement of technology and growing social challenges, contraception has become a central issue in Muslim reproductive health discourse. This research uses a qualitative approach through library research, examining classical and contemporary literature as well as authoritative fatwas. The findings reveal that contraception is permissible in Islam if it is non-permanent and used for legitimate reasons such as maternal health or birth spacing. The maqāṣid principles of preserving life (ḥifẓ al-nafs) and lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl) serve as the core justification. Classical scholars generally allowed the method of ‘azl under specific conditions, while contemporary scholars show broader acceptance of modern contraceptive methods. The study concludes that contraception can be a legitimate instrument of public welfare (maṣlaḥah) in Islam if implemented responsibly and in line with syari’ah objectives.
