Abstract

The research objectives is to explore the preventive measures against the crime of femicide for achieving the stability of family security in the light of the Prophetic Hadiths. Femicide is considered the most dangerous form of gender-based violence, manifested in the killing of women solely due to their gender identity. This research employing a qualitative, library-based approach, the research draws on both primary and secondary sources, analyzed descriptively within the frameworks of critical discourse analysis with conclusions reached deductively. The study concludes that Islam, through the Prophetic Hadiths, offers both ethical and practical guidance to prevent such crimes. This includes strengthening religious education, the Prophet’s exhortation to treat women kindly, showing gentleness towards them, prohibiting their physical abuse, and cultivating individual awareness of the severity of injustice—especially toward women—due to its detrimental consequences for the oppressor in both this world and the hereafter.
