Abstract

Income and wealth inequality in Indonesia persists despite efforts by central and local governments to address it. maslahah mursalah provides a strong theoretical foundation for creating policies that are both religious and highly beneficial. This study aims to explain the history of using maslahah mursalahin income and wealth policies, provide evidence of income and wealth inequality in Indonesia, and explore the potential of using maslahah mursalah to address this inequality. This study examines two key facts: the history of maslahah mursalah's policies on income and wealth, and income and wealth inequality in Indonesia. They were obtained from Arabic usul al-fiqhliterature and the analysis of the Gini ratio and palm index. The data were compared to determine the most urgent policy needs and thepossibility of using maslahah mursalah as the basis. This study found that maslahah mursalahhas been widely used in income and wealth distribution policies. Since income and wealth inequality in Indonesia still exists and continues to increase in the ratio, maslahah mursalah willlikely be the basis of settlement policy. This study aims to provide a robust theoretical foundation for the Indonesian government to design and implement maslahah mursalah-based policies to address income and wealth inequality, including human capital development, labour market opening for women, labour rights protection, improved access to finance, social transfer programs, zakat and tax optimisation, housing policy reform, and increased transparency and corruption eradication.

Abstract

This study reconstructs the chronology and historical context of the qibla change – the redirection of Muslim prayer from Baitul Maqdis to the Ka‘bah – through a rigorous textual analysis of Ibn Ḥajar al-‘Asqalānī’s hadith commentary, Fath al-Bārī. While previous Islamic historiography has rarely treated hadith commentaries as viable primary sources, this study addresses that gap. Employing a qualitative framework that integrates historical-hermeneutic analysis with an interpretive-historical approach, it examines Fath al-Bārī to produce a chronologically precise and contextually grounded account. To reconcile conflicting reports on the date of the change, Ibn Ḥajar applied al-jam’ wa al-tawfīq (compromise) by specifying the lunar count from Rabī‘ al-Awwal to Rajab, explaining the 16‑ versus 17‑month discrepancy through inclusive and exclusive calculations. He then used tarjīḥ (critical selection) based on sanad quality to establish mid‑Rajab of the second Hijri year as the definitive moment of transition. The research also illuminates the socio‑political climate of Madinah, including Muslim‑Jewish relations, the Companions’ role in transmitting the news, and the event’s impact on consolidating early Muslim identity. The study concludes that Fath al-Bārī functions not merely as hadith exegesis but as a significant historiographical document, offering a methodological model for integrating hadith scholarship with historical inquiry.
