<![CDATA[This research is motivated by the widespread phenomenon of content creators on the TikTok application exploiting negative actions, such as online begging or self-harm, to obtain virtual gifts. The problem arises when the funds cashed out from these gifts are used by the head of the family to fulfill the obligation of providing family support (nafkah). The purpose of this study is to understand the mechanism of obtaining money through TikTok gifts on negative content, analyze the muamalah contracts that occur, and examine the utilization of these funds for family support from the perspective of Maqashid Syari'ah. This study is library research using a normative juridical approach. Data were collected through a documentation method sourced from the Qur'an, Hadith, fiqh texts, and related literature, and were subsequently analyzed using content analysis. The results of this study indicate that TikTok employs a dual-currency ecosystem (coins and diamonds) where the platform deducts a massive commission of approximately 77% to 83%, meaning creators receive only a small fraction of the viewer's initial transaction value. Utilizing money generated from negative content as family support strongly contradicts maqashid syari'ah. From the aspect of Hifz al-Din (protection of religion), haram (unlawful) sustenance will damage the family's spiritual foundation, act as a barrier to the acceptance of prayers, and erode reliance on Allah. From the aspect of Hifzh an-Nasl (protection of lineage), providing for the family using the proceeds of exploitation will damage psychological resilience, create a role model crisis for children, and theologically nourish the body's cells from prohibited sources.]]>
