Its objective is to shed light on the Islamic Legal Maxims used to resolve family problems. The research especially centers on southern Iranian families and the maxims employed by the fatw? authorities in southern Iran to resolve family problems. The study also highlights insufficient research on Islamic Legal Maxims that can contribute to family preservation and the repair of troubled family relationships. By examining these maxims, the research seeks to provide solutions for contemporary family problems. The importance of this study lies in its attempt to formulate practical approaches for addressing emerging family problems. It emphasizes that, when combined with psychological insights, Islamic Legal Maxims can offer appropriate solutions for family problems. Consequently, communities in Islamic countries can enhance family sustainability by utilizing the expertise of the fatw? authorities in southern Iran by applying Islamic Legal Maxims to preserve and sustain families. To achieve the study's objectives, the researcher employed three methodologies: inductive and analytical approaches, as well as field study. The inductive approach involved a comprehensive review of Islamic jurisprudence literature to identify Islamic Legal Maxims related to family sustainability. The analytical approach focused on specific family-related Islamic Legal Maxims, outlining major maxims and their sub-maxims. Additionally, individual interviews were conducted with religious scholars, social activists, and members of the Sunni Fatwa authorities in southern Iran to address relevant questions. The study concludes that Islamic Legal Maxims play a significant role in family sustainability. These maxims can prevent family problems and, when issues do arise, help find solutions. The study reveals a significant correlation between Islamic Legal Maxims and family sustainability. These Islamic Legal Maxims can be employed to prevent family problems and resolve existing ones.arCopyright International Islamic University Malaysiadoctoral thesis
