Abstract

This study was intended to respond to the egg-freezing phenomenon, a growing issue in contemporary society, by formulating the fiqh of reproduction. As seen in the culture of modern society, technological advancement affecting the culture of people is a certainty. Along with the advancement of technology in today's contemporary era, the phenomenon of egg freezing and its impacts cannot be ignored. As in the study of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), every action is always considered to have an effect caused by the act, both positive and negative. This study used a literature review with data on egg freezing as a new reproductive phenomenon in contemporary society. The data then became the basis for interpreting the concept of the principle of maqāṣid sharī’ah (objectives of Islamic law) in the study of uṣūl fiqh (the foundation of Islamic jurisprudence) as the basis for the formulation of fiqh of reproduction. The findings in this study show that egg freezing, according to the study of fiqh of reproduction, may be performed with the proper reasoning of benefit for women.
