Abstract

The reinterpretation of the concept of alimony plays a pivotal role in defining familial roles. This article delves into the epistemological reasoning of Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir in redefining the concept of alimony within a modern context. Employing conceptual and philosophical approaches, the article reveals that the alimony concept introduced by Kodir is a product of epistemological reasoning encompassing bāyani, burhāni, and irfāni dimensions. Bāyani reasoning is demonstrated through an understanding approach and the tabdīl (replacement) method used to analyze alimony texts. Burhāni reasoning is supported by rational thinking, utilizing primary and minor premises derived from the current phenomena within family dynamics. Irfāni reasoning is evidenced through the elucidation of meaning by Kodir, specifically regarding alimony texts as a project for the development of divine law (al-aḥkām al-ilāhiyyah) based on the values of love and compassion (raḥmatan lil 'ālamin). This reformulation has implications for methodological and practical innovations regarding alimony in local and global contexts.
