Bridging Sharia and Tarbiyah: Character Education Values in the Determination of 'Iddah Law
Main Article Content
Abstract
The provisions of 'iddah for women after divorce or the death of their husbands in Islam are not merely understood as a legal formality, but also contain important Islamic educational values that must be understood. This qualitative research in the form of a literature study aims to explore the dimensions of character education values in the obligation of 'iddah. This study uses content analysis with a normative-philosophical approach. Data was obtained through documentation techniques. The results of the study show that that through educational interpretation, the legal provisions regarding the obligation of 'iddah serve as a transitional period that can be a medium for transforming character education values, such as social responsibility, self-reflection, and spiritual obedience. The contribution of this study confirms that 'iddah is not merely exoteric (sharia) legal, but also has an esoteric dimension in the transformation of educational values (tarbiyah).
