Abstract
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a narcissistic personality disorder that can trigger problems for individuals, both in family and social relationships. This qualitative study aims to identify NPD problems through a maqasid shariah approach. Data was obtained from observations of Raehanul Bahraen's YouTube channel, which examines solutions to NPD problems using a content analysis approach. The results of the study show that NPD is a mental disorder that can lead to negative behaviours, such as craving praise, being manipulative, being anti-criticism, and feeling superior. NPD can be said to contradict the values of maqasid syariah, namely social and spiritual neglect (hifz al-din), physical and psychological violence (hifz al-nafs), rationality (hifz al-'aql), and family harmony (hifz al-nasl). Therefore, the maqasid sharia paradigm can be used as an approach in Islamic law to respond to psychological disorders in people with NDP. This research contributes to an integrative approach between Islamic law and clinical psychology in responding to mental health problems.ychology in responding to mental health problems
