Abstract

This study examines the role of men in the family from the perspective of the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and Minangkabau culture. The method used is a qualitative analysis of religious and cultural literature, as well as interviews with religious and traditional leaders of Minangkabau. The results of the study indicate that male leadership in the family is a responsibility governed by Islamic teachings through the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), encompassing spiritual, moral, and material aspects. Minangkabau culture, with its matrilineal kinship system, provides a unique dimension to the role of men, who also have social responsibilities within the community. The financial responsibility of men as heads of the family is regulated by Islamic teachings and reinforced by Minangkabau cultural values. Men are expected to meet the basic needs of the family and contribute to traditional and social activities. Education and moral upbringing are the primary responsibilities of men, ensuring that family members receive good religious education and strong moral values. The conclusion of this study shows that the integration of Islamic teachings and Minangkabau culture creates balance and harmony in the role of men within the family. By understanding and implementing these roles, men can better fulfill their responsibilities, contribute positively to family and community life, and achieve better spiritual, moral, and material well-being. This study provides important insights into the integration of Islamic teachings and Minangkabau culture in shaping the role of men in the family, which is expected to serve as a guide for men in effectively fulfilling their responsibilities and creating a harmonious and prosperous family environment.
