Understanding family fiqh plays a crucial role in shaping the dynamics of Muslim families, providing a structured framework for navigating marital relationships, parental responsibilities, and familial obligations in accordance with Islamic teachings. Family fiqh, which encompasses the Islamic jurisprudence pertaining to family matters, offers detailed guidelines on various aspects of family life, including marriage, divorce, inheritance, and child-rearing. The Quran provides a detailed discussion of family affairs, showing how important family is within the Islamic faith. 177 By adhering to the principles of family fiqh. Muslim families can foster stronger bonds, resolve conflicts amicably, and create a nurturing environment for the holistic development of each family The family is the most fundamental institution of human life. 178 Family harmony is one of the main pillars in forming a prosperous and civilised society, 179 Family harmony is one of the main pillars in forming a prosperous and civilised society. 180 A deep understanding Muhammad Yousuf and Farhat Aziz.

Family jurisprudence not only regulates the legal aspects of marriage, but also covers the ethics, rights, and obligations between husband, wife, and children. This knowledge is expected to be the foundation in building harmonious interactions and overcoming conflicts that may arise in the household. A good understanding of family fiqh is believed to contribute to the creation of harmony in the household, which in turn has an impact on the resilience of the Muslim family as a whole. Therefore, this research aims to fill the gap by quantitatively examining the extent to which understanding of family fiqh affects harmony in Muslim households. The results of this research are expected to provide a practical contribution for Muslim couples in improving the quality of husband and wife relationships as well as a reference for the development of premarital education and family counselling programs based on Islamic values. The results of the searches that have been carried out by researchers, there are several scientific studies found with the proximity of the problems studied in this research, including: First, research conducted by Tiara, et al, the approach used in the research was a qualitative approach with a case research type of research. The results showed that the planning of women's extracurricular activities in improving understanding of women's fiqh includes setting goals, namely to increase the understanding of female students about women's planning materials, namely menstruation, istihadah, nifas, female aurat. Muslim determining strategies and methods, namely expository strategies, lecture and question and answer methods. developing learning resources. Second, a research by Putri. The approach used in the research was a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The results showed that the experimental group had a higher average post test score . than the control group . The t-test analysis showed a significant difference between the two groups . <0. , which indicated that the PBL method was more effective in improving fiqh comprehension. The effect size analysis resulted in a Cohen's d value of 1. 23, which indicates the great influence of the PBL method on student learning outcomes. In addition. Tiara Anggraini Napitupulu.

The difference between this research and the previously mentioned studies is that this research examines the effect of fiqh understanding on Muslim family harmony. Researchers are interested in conducting research with quantitative methods to determine the extent to which understanding of marriage fiqh affects family harmony. Several previous studies have highlighted various factors that influence the harmony of Muslim households. For example, effective communication between husband and wife and emotional intelligence both play a significant role in creating a harmonious relationship. 187 However, studies that specifically examine the direct effect of understanding family fiqh on the level of Muslim family harmony are still limited. By investigating how comprehension of family fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence on familial relation. correlates with household harmony, this study addresses a notable gap in the literature: while factors such as communication and emotional intelligence have been examined, the direct influence of fiqh knowledge remains underexplored. The findings will offer empirical evidence to inform Islamic educational curricula, premarital counseling, and community workshops, enabling religious educators and counselors to design targeted modules that clarify spousesAo rights and responsibilities. Ultimately, this research will bridge theory and practice, providing data-driven recommendations to strengthen marital cohesion and reduce conflict in Muslim families. Modern socio-cultural shifts such as urbanization and changing gender roles have strained traditional Islamic family structures, often resulting in declining trust and increased disputes among Muslim couples. In light of rising divorce rates and intra-familial tensions, it is urgent to identify faith-based interventions that reinforce both spiritual and legal foundations of marriage. By quantifying the impact of family-fiqh literacy on domestic harmony, this study responds to immediate community needs, offering evidence needed to Hariadi Ahmad.

The length of marriage also shows significant variation, ranging from 0 to 35 years and averaging 18 years, indicating that the majority of families are at a mature phase of marriage. In terms of education, around 44 per cent of respondents have at least a high school education, while around 46 per cent have a bachelor's degree. for spouses, around 35 per cent have completed a high school education and 42 per cent have a bachelor's degree. Regarding the number of children, the data shows a variation from 0 to 5 children per family with an average of 2 to 3 children, reflecting the tendency of productive families that still prioritise family values. In terms of occupation, around 70 per cent of respondents were housewives, while their spouse's occupation was dominated by private employees . round 35 per cen. , followed by self-employed, civil servants, and other professions such as traders. These conditions illustrate a stable family structure, with a fairly good educational background and traditional division of roles, so that it has strong potential in supporting family harmony through a deep understanding of family fiqh. Based on the results of data collection collected by researchers from questionnaires distributed via Google Form and questionnaires, the validity is tested to ensure that each question or item in the questionnaire is truly relevant and measures the variable to be measured and gets data accurately from respondents' answers. The validity test was conducted using the correlation method with the help of JASP (Jeffreys's Amazing Statistics Progra.

After the validity test is carried out, the data obtained is tested for reliability which serves to assess the extent of the consistency of a questionnaire used in research. With this test, the questionnaire is reliable in measuring research variables, even though it is used repeatedly with the same instrument, such as a questionnaire or 192 The results of the reliability test of the family fiqh understanding variable (X) and family harmony (Y) can be seen in table 3 and table 4 below: Table 3.

Meanwhile, the remaining 80. 2% is influenced by other factors not discussed in this research. This research shows that understanding family fiqh has a significant effect on family harmony. The higher the individual's understanding of family fiqh, the higher the level of harmony in the household. The regression analysis results show a positive relationship between the two variables, with a regression coefficient value of 0. 740 and a very low significance value (<0. , which confirms that this relationship is not coincidental. This illustrates that the teachings of family fiqh provide clear guidelines in living a harmonious home life. According to Islamic teachings, the family is the main foundation for the creation of a healthy and prosperous society.
