Abstract

This study examines the integration of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah into Islamic economic governance within pesantren, focusing on business-unit management as a means to promote community welfare. Four dimensions are explored: normative foundations from fiqh mu'āmalah and maqāṣid; implementation of business management; legal-institutional challenges; and development of a sustainable governance model. Using a descriptive qualitative multi-case study design, four pesantren in West Java were examined: MA Darul Ulum PUI Talaga (Majalengka), MA Al-Urwatul Wutsqo (Indramayu), MA Husnul Khotimah (Kuningan), and MA Madinnatun Najah (Cirebon). Data from documents, interviews, and observations were analyzed thematically using maqāṣid and sharī'ah governance principles. Findings reveal that while maqāṣid values—justice, public benefit, sustainability, prudence, and resource protection—are evident in practice, they remain insufficiently institutionalized within systematic governance frameworks. Key limitations include weak legal arrangements, standardized procedures, financial reporting, supervision, and accountability. The study proposes an integrated governance framework linking fiqh mu'āmalah, maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, and sharī'ah governance to enhance legal certainty, accountability, professional management, and sustainable economic development. This contributes to Islamic economic law by offering a contextual model to strengthen pesantren's economic independence and social impact in Indonesia.
