Abstract

This research aims to uncover the operational mechanism and the Islamic Economic Law (Hukum Ekonomi Syariah) perspective on the sale and purchase of articulated skeletons (animal bone assembly) at the Alghi Artskeleton Shop in Sumedang. The approach used is empirical-juridical with a descriptive analytical method and qualitative data. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews with the shop owner, and documentary studies. The results show that the bone assembly mechanism involves complex technical stages, ranging from manual fleshing, clearing tissue using Dermestid beetle colonies, to degreasing and oxidation processes for sterilization. From the perspective of Islamic Economic Law, this practice is categorized under the Ijarah al-Amal (labor/service) contract, where the compensation provided constitutes wages (ujrah) for technical expertise and the service of processing waste into educational media, rather than merely a price for the physical bone material. This transaction is deemed valid because it fulfills the principle of public interest (maqashid shariah), particularly in preserving the intellect (hifdh al-'aql) for research and educational purposes, and has undergone a purification process (tathir) that removes any elements of impurity (najis).
