Abstract

This study investigates the phenomenon of gharar (uncertainty) in the practice of selling es campur Gitok in Lagan Ulu Village, where the absence of standardized measures leads to variations in portion sizes despite fixed pricing. The primary objective is to describe the local sales practices and to analyze them within the framework of Islamic law, particularly regarding the principle of contractual clarity in muamalah. Employing a qualitative descriptive case study approach, data were collected through observation, interviews with sellers, buyers, and religious leaders, as well as documentation. The findings reveal that sellers rely on simple containers without fixed standards, resulting in inconsistent portions among customers. Despite this uncertainty, transactions continue due to mutual consent (‘an-taradhin) and trust between parties. From the perspective of Islamic law, such practices reflect elements of minor gharar that remain permissible as long as they do not cause substantial harm or involve deception. The study contributes to the broader discourse on Islamic economic law by extending the analysis of gharar beyond modern financial and digital contexts to traditional rural trade practices. It also offers practical implications for small-scale food vendors and local communities, emphasizing the importance of transparency and fairness in everyday transactions to align with Islamic principles.
