This research explores the application of maqāṣid al-sharia in Fatwa No. 151/DSN-MUI/VII/2022 issued by the National Sharia Board of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) regarding the samsarah contract. Employing a qualitative research method involving a literature review, this study conducts a philosophical analysis of the six Qur'anic verses cited in the fatwa, focusing on the application of maqāṣid al-sharia, which encompasses the preservation of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. Through a maqāṣid al-sharia analysis, this research reveals the relevance of progressive interpretation, particularly from the perspective of Ibn ‘Ashur, in explaining the sharia principles underlying the samsarah contract. The findings indicate that the DSN-MUI fatwa strives to establish justice and transparency in Islamic economic transactions, aligning with Islamic values. Consequently, this research contributes to a more holistic and contextual understanding of Islamic law and bridges the gap between classical teachings and contemporary societal challenges. This research is expected to enrich academic discourse and Islamic legal practice in the field of Islamic economics.
