Abstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kedudukan istri sebagai pencari nafkah dalam perspektif hukum Islam serta implikasinya terhadap keharmonisan rumah tangga pada keluarga Muslim modern. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi literatur dengan pendekatan kualitatif melalui analisis berbagai sumber, seperti Al-Qur'an, hadis, kitab fikih, Kompilasi Hukum Islam, buku, dan jurnal ilmiah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kewajiban memberi nafkah tetap menjadi tanggung jawab suami, sedangkan istri diperbolehkan bekerja selama sesuai dengan syariat dan tidak mengabaikan tanggung jawab keluarga. Peran istri sebagai pencari nafkah dipengaruhi oleh faktor ekonomi, pendidikan, aktualisasi diri, serta kondisi tertentu yang mengharuskan istri bekerja. Kehadiran istri sebagai pencari nafkah dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan dan ketahanan keluarga, namun juga berpotensi menimbulkan beban ganda dan konflik apabila tidak disertai komunikasi serta pembagian peran yang baik. Dengan demikian, keharmonisan rumah tangga lebih ditentukan oleh keseimbangan hak dan kewajiban, kerja sama, serta saling menghormati daripada siapa yang menjadi pencari nafkah utama.

Abstract
This study aims to analyze the position of wives as breadwinners from the perspective of Islamic law and its implications for household harmony in modern Muslim families. This research employs a qualitative library research method by examining the Qur'an, Hadith, classical Islamic jurisprudence, the Compilation of Islamic Law, books, and relevant scholarly journals. The findings reveal that the obligation to provide financial support remains the husband's responsibility, while wives are permitted to work as long as it complies with Islamic principles and does not neglect family responsibilities. Wives' participation in earning income is influenced by economic needs, education, self-actualization, and certain family circumstances. This role can improve family welfare and resilience but may also create dual-role burdens and conflicts if not supported by effective communication and balanced role distribution. Therefore, household harmony is determined not by who earns the family income but by mutual cooperation, balanced rights and obligations, and respect between spouses..
Keywords: Household Harmony, Islamic law, Modern Muslim Family, Working Wife.
