The Implementation of Maqasid Al-Sharia Values in Economic Transactions of The Java Community

Abstract

Indonesian people use the profit-sharing system in the villages, especially in the fishing, agriculture and trade sectors. Farmers implement the profit-sharing system that refers to the values in sharia. The Islamic Sharia aims to realize human benefit in realizing kindness in the world and the hereafter because the benefit principle is the primary goal of Maqasid Al-Sharia. The benefits from Maqasid Al-Sharia have five principles of human interest called al-mabadi’al-khamsah or usul al-khamsah, including: guarding religion (hifz al-din), guarding the soul (hifz al-nafs), guarding reason ( hifz al-’aql), guarding property (hifz al-mal), guarding descendants (hifz al-nasl). The implementation of Maqasid Al-Sharia on the economic transactions of the Javanese community makes cooperation in the agricultural profit-sharing (paron). This research is library research using juridical-normative research type that is a research focused on examining the values of maqashid sharia in economic transactions of indigenous peoples. The research method used is juridical-normative using the positivist conception of legis. This conception views law as a normative system that is independent, closed, and detached from society’s real life. This research collects secondary data; library materials include official documents, journals, books, libraries, scientific works, articles, and documents. The results show that 1) The ”paron” cooperation carried out by farmers in Ngadiboyo Village is a cooperation agreement using verbal agreement and trust without a written agreement; 2) The ”paron” cooperation carried out by farmers in Ngadiboyo Village is following the view of sharia economic principles. It is because the ”paron” cooperation of the two parties has implemented sharia principles that are the principle of justice, the principle of voluntary, the principle of benefit, the principle of helping, the principle of honesty, the principle of trust, the principle of responsibility and the principle of permissibility. Referring to the main purpose of Maqasid Al-Sharia, it becomes the primary support in every economic transaction of the Javanese community.
