<![CDATA[This study analyzes the Islamic legal legitimacy regarding the commodification of sacrificial animal hides within a rural community setting (Village X), driven by limited local processing capacity and the urgency of utilizing sale proceeds for public benefit (mosque funds). Employing a qualitative-sociological approach with field research methods, primary data were gathered through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving the qurbani committee, religious leaders, and local residents. Data were analyzed descriptively-analytically by confronting empirical practices with contemporary fiqh muamalah doctrines and Maqashid Shariah. The findings reveal a normative tension: while the majority of scholars (jumhur ulama) strictly prohibit the sale of any sacrificial animal parts based on textual Hadith prohibitions, local practices redirecting the economic value of hides to mosque infrastructure incorporate istihsan and maslahah mursalah principles to prevent waste (tzayyi’). This study recommends reconceptualizing the role of the qurbani committee not as vendor-owners (ba'i), but as proxy managers (wakalah) who administer property utility for collective welfare transparently.]]>
