Boycotting Products Supporting Crimes from the Perspective of Maqāṣid al-Syarī'ah

Abstract

Globalization is growing rapidly, the ease of access and mobility of products and resources brings many benefits, but at the same time creates new, very complex problems. One of the more significant global problems is the spread of crime. Boycotting is a concrete action taken by the community to stop a crime, but on the other hand it invites a dilemma because by boycotting a mafsadat can also be caused. This study aims to find out the concept of boycotting products that support crime and analyze boycotts from the perspective of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah. The type of research used in this study is library research, using qualitative research methods described descriptively with normative and sociological approaches. The results of this study are as follows: First, boycotting crime-supporting products is a non-violent action aimed at exerting economic and moral pressure on entities deemed to be involved in criminal acts. This concept involves a systematic rejection of products that are considered to contribute to a crime, in conducting boycotts there needs to be a systematic strategy so that boycotts can run effectively. Second, from the perspective of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah, boycotting products that support crime can be done after considering the benefits that will be obtained, namely, the realization of the objectives of the Shari'ah. As Imām al-Gazālī said that the essence of maslahat is to protect or maintain the objectives of the Shari'ah (maqāṣid al-syarī'ah), so if the boycott of products supporting crime is considered a benefit in an effort to maintain the objectives of the Shari'ah, then it must be done. This research is expected to encourage public awareness to be more critical of the products they consume, so that the boycott of crime-supporting products can be carried out after weighing the maslahat and mafsadat obtained.
