Healthcare services, especially in childbirth management, are a crucial aspect of society that must be carried out with full responsibility and adherence to high professional ethics. One of the issues that often becomes a topic of discussion is the involvement of male nurses in childbirth procedures, which requires an evaluation of the appropriateness of ethics and culture within the context of Islamic society. In Islam, the protection of individual dignity, honor, and safety is a value that is highly guarded, and this is enshrined in the maqasid shariah, which aims to protect religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. Therefore, this article will analyze the application of maqasid shariah principles that can influence the childbirth management procedures by male nurses, especially in safeguarding the dignity of patients and meeting ethical needs in healthcare services. This study uses a qualitative approach by conducting content analysis on medical documents and interviews to gather insights into childbirth procedures involving male nurses. The analysis also includes professional guidelines and relevant fatwas. The findings of the study indicate that the application of maqasid shariah elements, namely the preservation of life and dignity, during childbirth procedures by male nurses is crucial in maintaining the honor, safety, and comfort of patients, as well as ensuring that medical practices align with Islamic principles.
