This research intends to evaluate Family Expectation Program to alleviate poverty through the lens of Population and Family Development Laws, Sustainable Development Goals, and Maqāṣid Sharīa. Poverty becomes a problem in human life and brings implications for individual and social lives. This condition has made the United Nations initiate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) program, which among others, aims to alleviate poverty worldwide. As a member country of the United Nations, Indonesia welcomes this initiative by preparing several national poverty alleviation programs, including Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH)/ Conditional Cash Transfer Program. This study used a qualitative research approach with a case study and multi-site design to evaluate this program. Through the study locus in Tulungagung and Trenggalek Regencies, East Java, the results of this study indicate that the PKH program in the two locations is following the objectives of Islamic law, including the protection of religion (hifẓ al- dīn), the protection of human soul and body (hifẓ al-nafs), the protection of wealth (hifẓ al-māl), the protection of mind (intelligence) (hifẓ al-'aql), the protection of lineage (hifẓ al-nasl), and the protection of honor (hifẓ al-'irḍ). The results of this research hopefully contribute to setting up the poverty alleviation-based -government policies through family development programs to pursue Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) based on the values of maqāṣid sharīa.Kajian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan evaluasi terhadap Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) dalam mengentaskan kemiskinan melalui pendekatan Undang-Undang Perkembangan Kependudukan dan Pembangunan Keluarga,  Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), dan maqāṣid sharīa. Kondisi kemiskinan telah menjadi masalah dalam kehidupan manusia dan berimplikasi terhadap kehidupan individu maupun sosial. Kondisi ini membuat PBB menginisiasi program Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) yang antara lain bertujuan untuk mengentaskan kemiskinan di seluruh dunia. Sebagai salah satu negara anggota PBB, Indonesia menyambut positif inisiasi ini dengan menyiapkan beberapa program pengentasan kemiskinan yang dijalankan secara nasional, antara lain Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH). Sebagai upaya evaluasi Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) dalam pengentasan kemiskinan, kajian ini merupakan kajian dengan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif dengan jenis studi kasus dan rancangan multisitus. Melalui lokus kajian di Kabupaten Tulungagung dan Trenggalek Provinsi Jawa Timur, hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa program PKH di kedua lokasi tersebut sesuai dengan tujuan syariat Islam antara lain perlindungan terhadap agama (hifẓ al- dīn), jiwa dan raga (hifẓ al-nafs), harta (hifẓ al-māl) , kecerdasan (hifẓ al-'aql), keturunan (hifẓ al-nasl), dan kehormatan (hifẓ al-'irḍ).

Up to this contemporary era, the concept of maṣlaḥah developed by several leading Moslem scholars seems to be rather theocentric in a way that it is transfixed on the maṣlaḥah considerations contained in the texts (naṣṣ). This means that the concept of maṣlaḥah has so far been shadowed in the textual confinement so that the resulting maṣlaḥah becomes an old-fashioned, stagnant, and less-able concept for responding to the times’ challenges. This study aims to open up discourses and opportunities for the development and reformulation of maṣlaḥah in the current contemporary era. This qualitative study is library research. The data used were obtained from book literatures, journals, and other writings related to maṣlaḥah and were analyzed using a content analysis method. The discussion was done by describing the historical data of previous thoughts on maṣlaḥah from the process of textual confinement to logic determination which was then formulated with the reality of today's modern era life. The results of this study indicate that: 1) from its historical aspect, the reformulation of maṣlaḥah is one which has so far only been assessed in the perspective of Shāri' (the Law Maker), hence, it is necessary to reformulate it in the perspective of mujtahīd by referring to maṣlaḥah associated with the issues’ reality context, 2) there is a need to incorporate the concept of ethics and humanity into the structure of maṣlaḥah, and 3) there present a necessity to formulate a collective-based ijtihād in probing of maṣlaḥah to create a scientific maṣlaḥah-based ijtihād methodology.Hingga pada era kontemporer sekarang ini, konsep maṣlaḥah yang dikembangkan oleh beberapa tokoh ilmuwan Muslim tampak lebih bersifat teosentris yang terpaku pada pertimbangan maṣlaḥah yang terdapat pada teks (naṣṣ). Artinya, konsep maṣlaḥah selama ini masih terbayang-bayang dalam kungkungan teks sehingga maṣlaḥah yang dihasilkan menjadi konsep yang jumud, stagnan, dan kurang bisa merespon tantangan zaman. Penelitian ini berusaha membuka wacana dan peluang terhadap perkembangan dan reformulasi maṣlaḥah pada era kontemporer saat ini. Penelitian ini adalah sebuah studi pustaka (library research) yang dilakukan dengan metode kualitatif. Data yang dipakai berasal dari literatur buku, jurnal, dan tulisan-tulisan lain yang berkaitan dengan maṣlaḥah dan dianalisa menggunakan metode content analysis. Pembahasan dilakukan dengan mendeskripsikan data sejarah pemikiran maṣlaḥah dari proses kungkungan teks hingga determinasi akal yang kemudian diformulasikan dengan realitas kehidupan era modern saat ini. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: 1) reformulasi maṣlaḥah dari aspek sejarah adalah maṣlaḥah yang selama ini hanya dinilai dalam perspektif Syari’, karena itu perlu mereformulasinya dalam perspektif mujtahid dengan mengacu kepada maṣlaḥah yang dikaitkan dengan konteks realitas permasalahan, 2) perlu untuk memasukkan konsep etika dan kemanusiaan dalam struktur maṣlaḥah, dan 3) perlu untuk mereformulasikan ijtihād berbasis kolektif dalam pengambilan maṣlaḥah guna menciptakan metodologi ijtihād berbasis maṣlaḥah yang ilmiah.
