This study explores the welfare conditions of non-ASN (non-civil-servant) lecturers and their implications for the sustainability of Islamic Higher Education Institutions (IHEIs) in Indonesia. Using qualitative document analysis, the study examines judicial review hearing documents related to Law Number 14 of 2005 on Teachers and Lecturers before the Constitutional Court, including statements from petitioners, the Government, and the House of Representatives. The findings indicate that non-ASN lecturers experience several welfare challenges, including income uncertainty, employment-status issues, and dependence on additional sources of income. These conditions are analysed through social exchange theory and maqashid al-shari'ah, highlighting the importance of justice, fair compensation, and institutional responsibility in Islamic educational human resource management (HRM). The study proposes a multi-level welfare governance framework involving state, institutional, and lecturer-level factors to support sustainable HRM practices in IHEIs.
