Digital technology has transformed family life, communication, childcare, and relationships among family members. Although it facilitates information access and connectivity, digitalization also presents challenges, including declining communication quality, gadget addiction, cyber-based violence, harmful content exposure, and threats to child protection and family resilience. This study aims to analyze Muhammad al-Tahir Ibn Ashur’s concept of maqāṣid al-syarī’ah and examine its relevance as a foundation for family protection in the digital era. This research employs normative legal research using library research, with conceptual, philosophical, and statutory approaches. Primary materials include the Qur’an, hadith, Ibn Ashur’s works, and legislation, while secondary materials consist of books, journals, and previous studies. Data are analyzed descriptively and qualitatively through content analysis. The findings indicate that Ibn Ashur’s maqāṣid al-syarī’ah emphasizes family welfare through the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property, reflected in sakinah, mawaddah, raḥmah, justice, responsibility, and balanced family rights and obligations. The principal challenge to family protection lies not in technological development itself but in the weakening implementation of these values in family life. This study contributes a philosophical foundation for adaptive family protection by promoting Islamic digital literacy, character education, women’s and children’s protection, and family resilience oriented toward maṣlaḥah.
