Abstract
The book "Al-Hisbah fi al Islam" is a classic because it was written 700 years ago by Shaykh Ibn Taimiyah, but its relevance is still felt today. There are many discussions that are beyond their time and are increasingly evident in their urgency in modern times. This shows that the verses of the Qur'an and the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad which are the main references are eternal and become the guidelines of human life throughout the ages. Hisbah can be defined as an institution for monitoring and controlling commodity prices in the market (price control) as well as monitoring the behavior of government officials. What is special about his work is that it does not only refer to texts as normative sources but also follows the history and practice of the people around him. So that apart from being scientifically qualified, new findings can also be discussed in the field. Although Ibn Taimiyah is known as an expert in kalam and fiqh, the book talks about public duties and market economy (issues that are the main concern of modern society today).

Summary
Nabi saw pernah diminta utnuk menetapkan harga di pasar Madinah ketika harga-harga mengalamikenaikan yang tinggi dan nabi menolaknya dengan alasan bahwa harga harus berkembang secara alami. Dan oleh sebagian fuqoha mengambil kesimpulan dari kasus ini bahwa tas‟ir tidak diperbolehkan dalam keadaan bagaimanapun. Namun lain halnya dengan Imam Ibnu Taimiyyah yang telah membahasnya panjang lebar dan disimpulkan bahwa tas‟ir tidak boleh dilaksanakan apabila tidak ada hambatan artifisial (tidak alami) dalam menentukan tingkat harga di pasar. Namun jika hambatan-hambatan tersebut ada di pasar sehingga tingkat harga dikendalikan oleh sekelompok orang yang secra ekonomi kuat demi keuntungan mereka, maka muhtasib memiliki kewajiban untuk menetapkan ukuran-ukuran yang benar. Artinya bahwa dalam konteks sekarang muhtasib harus harus selalu menguasai informasi tentang kondisi ekonomi secara keseluruhan dan juga struktur harga dalam ekonomi
