This research is motivated by the practice of the daily wage system for seasonal rice planting workers, which is still traditional and informal in agrarian communities, particularly in Bosso Village, North Walenrang District, Luwu Regency. The wage system, which is based on customary practices and verbal agreements, often does not fully provide certainty and legal protection for workers, thereby causing issues of justice in employment relationships. This study aims to analyze the mechanism of determining and implementing the daily wage system for seasonal rice planting workers and to examine it based on the principles of ijarah contracts from the perspective of Islamic economic law. This study uses a qualitative approach with a type of field research. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with seasonal rice planting workers and landowners, direct observation at the research site, as well as supporting documentation. The collected data were analyzed descriptively and analytically using a normative-juridical approach to assess the compliance of wage practices with the principles of ijarah contracts. The research results indicate that the determination of daily wages is carried out through verbal agreements before the work begins and has provided clarity regarding the amount of wages. However, in its implementation, weaknesses are still found, particularly in terms of the timeliness of wage payments as well as the clarity of working hours and employment duration. From the perspective of Islamic economic law, this wage system has fulfilled some of the principles of the ijarah contract, particularly the clarity of compensation and the consent of the parties, but it has not fully complied with the principles of justice and legal certainty due to the presence of elements of ambiguity and delays in wage payments. This study concludes that the daily wage system for seasonal rice-planting workers in Bosso Village needs improvement to better align with the principles of the ijarah contract in Islamic economic law. Further research is recommended to broaden the scope of study and examine a more formal and equitable agricultural employment contract model to strengthen the protection of workers' rights in the agrarian sector
