Abstract

Increasingly, industry observers are saying that “renting clothes is a great way to implement sustainable fashioncampaigns” which reflects the views held towards rental platforms (Amasawa et al., 2023). Renting clothes is a long-term life cycle that can be utilized in minimizing clothing waste even if it is only a small-scale clothing rental. This research aims to explore the implementation of ijarah muqayyadah contract in clothing rental as a solution for sustainable fashion from an Islamic economic perspective. The research method used is qualitative, with an observation approach, literature study, and short interviews. The case study was conducted at Abra Gallery, a clothing rental business in Balikpapan. The results show that the ijarah contract in clothing rental is able to support the maqashid sharia principle which emphasizes the balance between fulfilling human needs and preserving the environment. Clothing rental reduces the negative impact of the fashion industry on the environment by reducing the production of new clothes and extending the life cycle of clothes. These findings support the importance of implementing ijarah contracts in supporting sustainable fashion as part of the green economy movement that is in line with Islamic economic principles.
