Elderly Care in Nursing Homes: A Maqasid Shariah Perspective on Children’s Duty to Parents
Keywords:
Maqasid Shariah, Elderly Care, Nursing Homes, Financial Support, Social ChangeAbstract
This study examines the placement of elderly parents in nursing homes in Banten Province, Indonesia, from the perspective of Maqasid Shariah, focusing on children’s financial support duties (nafkah) and devotion (birrul walidain). The research aims to understand how these religious obligations align with the increasing trend of elderly individuals in nursing homes. A qualitative approach is used, involving observations and in-depth interviews. The study applies several theoretical frameworks, including Credo Theory, Legal Authority Theory, Social Change Theory, and Fatwa Evolution Theory, to analyze the factors influencing this decision. Fishbone analysis is employed to identify the main causes. The findings show that social, economic, and legal factors affect the decision to place elderly parents in nursing homes. The study concludes that this practice can be considered an act of birrul walidain if it aligns with the core principles of Maqasid Shariah.
