Abstract: Every woman has the right to determine her reproductive role. This right entitles a special emphasis on women’s ability to make decisions and choices about controlling their bodies, sexuality, and reproductive functions. However, the practice of these rights must be in line with Islamic principles and, at the same time, celebrate existing human rights. People often misunderstand this right as a license for women to control their husbands. Significantly, this right is examined within the Syara framework and implemented following muâ€™Ä sharah bi al-ma’rÅ«f recommendations. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, incorporating research from scholars and religious interpretations on the equality and harmony of these rights in the lives of Muslim women. This initiative provides a balanced interpretation of the implementation of Muslim women’s reproductive rights by Islamic teachings.
