The method used is literature analysis with a qualitative approach, examining the sources of hadith and the interpretations of scholars regarding al-Ifki and its relevance in the context of modern families. The results of the study show that the Prophet. Showed that very relevant problem-solving strategies, such as collective confidence, problem anatomy, problem identification, open communication, and family support, can be a foundation for families in dealing with the problem of infidelity. In conclusion, the application of the concept of family resilience based on the hadith al-Ifki can help families face the challenges of the issue of infidelity while maintaining family harmony and dignity.
