Implementasi Maqasid Syari'ah Terhadap Konsumsi Makanan Sesajen

Implementation of Maqasid Shari'ah on Eating Offerings Food

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the implementation of Maqasid al-Shariah in the consumption of food, specifically offerings that remain prevalent in Indonesian cultural traditions. This study employs a qualitative research methodology using a literature review with a normative juridical approach and content analysis to understand the views of scholars and Shariah texts related to the consumption of offerings. The implementation of Maqasid al-Shariah in the consumption of offerings is as follows: consuming offerings does not align with Maqasid al-Shariah because, from the perspective of Hifz al-Din, it leads to practices of polytheism; from the perspective of Hifz al-Nafs, Allah commands the consumption of halal and good food; from the perspective of Hifz al-'Aql, this practice does not align with the principle of rationality in Islam; from the perspective of Hifz al-Nasl, it contributes to the formation of strong character and Islamic values to be inherited by future generations; and from the perspective of Hifz al-Mal, there is no direct impact on this aspect, as the impact is on those who provide the offerings, who spend their wealth on purposes other than for Allah Swt.
