The word tabarruj in the Qur'an describes a phenomenon of society. Tabarruj is defined as the behavior of women who dress up excessively and show their beauty and body shape to the opposite sex; however, from various studies or interpretations that explain the prohibition of tabarruj in surah QS. Al-Ahzab verse 33 and Q.S An-Nur verse 60 have not reached the purpose or intention behind it. Therefore, the maqāṣidī tafsīr in this study is considered relevant to explain with a different understanding so that it can provide understanding to humans in depth and breadth, especially among Muslim women.
The author uses the type of literature (Library research) in this research. Primary data sources refer to the interpretation of surah Al-Ahzab verse 33 and surah An-Nur verse 60 in the book of Tafsīr Tahrīr wa Tanwīr by Ibn 'Āsyūr. At the same time, secondary data sources include books that discuss tabarruj, journals and other literature works that are still related to the theme of this research discussion. This research uses the maudhu'i method with analysis through the maqāṣidī tafsīr approach.
Maqāṣidī tafsīr is a contextual interpretation theory that tries to relate the text's meaning and the context's needs and tries to find out the maqāṣid element behind a text. The author is interested in studying using the maqāṣidī tafsīr method because he hopes to reveal broadly and deeply the implied meanings of a verse, not just explore the text's literal meaning.
From his interpretation of tabarruj, it can be concluded that one of the maqāṣid forbidden tabarruj is to maintain honor and position as a Muslim woman. According to Ibn 'Āsyūr thought, the prohibition of tabarruj can be seen from maqāṣhid 'ammah and maqāṣid khāṣṣah.
