<![CDATA[The practice of interfaith marriage raises pros and cons in society, especially marriages between Muslims and non-Muslims. Therefore, it is very important to study the opinions of Islamic thinkers about interfaith marriage, including the thoughts of Yūsuf al-Qarḍᾱwῑ. In this study, the formulation of the problem raised is what is the meaning of interfaith marriage, what is Yūsuf al-Qarḍᾱwῑ's opinion about interfaith marriage and what are the similarities and differences in Yūsuf al-Qarḍᾱwῑ's opinion about interfaith marriage. This type of research is library research. The approach that the author uses is a qualitative approach. This study concludes that interfaith marriages are marriages of men and women of different religions, namely Muslims and non-Muslims. State law regulates this marriage clearly and firmly, especially for Muslims in the Compilation of Islamic Laws article 40 (c) and article 44 which prohibits the implementation of this marriage while Islam regulates this marriage in QS. al-Baqarah: 221, QS. al-Mumtaḥanah: 10 and QS. al-Mᾱidah: 5. Yūsuf al-Qarḍᾱwῑ argues that based on QS. al-Baqarah: 221 and QS. al-Mumtaḥanah: 10, marriage between Muslims and polytheists is absolutely prohibited while QS. al-Mᾱidah: 5 only provides an opportunity for Muslim men to marry ahl al-kitᾱb women. The similarity of opinion of the two figures lies only in the permissibility of Muslim men to marry ahl al-kitᾱb women, the rest have different opinions. In this case, the two figures use different methods. Yūsuf al-Qarḍᾱwῑ uses ijtihad tarjīḥ or intiqᾱ'ī by considering the benefit of the people.]]>
