Ethics of Women's Social Interaction in Society from the Qur'anic Perspective
Keywords:
ethics, mawḍū’ī, society, social interaction, womenAbstract
Changing times have shifted the ethical values of social interaction, giving rise to various social problems such as promiscuity, premarital relationships, sexual violence, and bullying—signalling a deep moral crisis in society. This study aims to: (1) identify Qur'anic verses relevant to the ethics of women's social interaction in society, and (2) formulate the implementation of those values in contemporary social life. The method employed is qualitative library research (library research) using the mawḍū’ī (thematic) interpretation approach, with triangulation of at least three classical and contemporary commentaries per verse cluster (Tafsīr Ibn Katsīr, Tafsīr al-Mishbāh, and Tafsīr al-Munīr). Data were gathered through systematic searches of Google Scholar, JSTOR, and SINTA-indexed databases, prioritising publications from 2019–2025. The findings identify seven thematic clusters: (1) prohibition of sexual deviance (Q.S. Al-A'rāf [7]:81; Q.S. Al-Naml [27]:55); (2) ethics of speech with non-maḥram (Q.S. Al-Aḥzāb [33]:32); (3) interaction boundaries (Q.S. Al-Aḥzāb [33]:55; Q.S. Al-Nūr [24]:31); (4) Islamic dress code (Q.S. Al-Aḥzāb [33]:59; Q.S. Al-Nūr [24]:60); (5) social justice enforcement (Q.S. Al-Nisā' [4]:15); (6) gender equality and social roles (Q.S. Al-Nisā' [4]:32); and (7) fundamental social ethics (Q.S. Al-Ḥujurāt [49]:11). All clusters converge upon five core principles: iffah (chastity), ḥayā' (modesty), maintaining interaction boundaries, avoiding deviant behaviour, and cultivating mutual respect. The Qur'anic ethics of women's social interaction is universal and applicable, serving as a comprehensive guide for building a dignified, morally upright society.
