Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of maslahah mursalah in contemporary Islamic economic practices and examine its contribution to public welfare from the perspective of maqashid al-syari’ah. The research employed a qualitative approach using a library research method. Data were collected from the Qur'an, classical works on usul al-fiqh, scholarly books, and relevant journal articles, and were analyzed through content analysis using a descriptive-analytical approach. The findings reveal that maslahah mursalah has been implemented in various contemporary Islamic economic practices, including the digitalization of zakat management, Islamic banking, takaful, the empowerment of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), halal certification, business competition supervision, and Islamic financial technology (Islamic fintech). These practices fulfill the criteria of maslahah mursalah by promoting public benefit, remaining consistent with the Qur'an, Sunnah, and ijma', supporting the realization of maqashid al-syari’ah, and generating greater benefits than potential harm (mafsadah). Furthermore, the implementation of maslahah mursalah contributes to improving public welfare by expanding access to Islamic financial services, optimizing the management of Islamic social funds, strengthening economic empowerment, and promoting justice and equitable economic distribution. The study concludes that maslahah mursalah serves not only as a method of Islamic legal reasoning but also as an evaluative framework for developing Islamic economic policies and innovations oriented toward public welfare
