Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of sound horeg in the Tapal Kuda region of East Java from the perspective of Islamic law using the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah framework. The research employs a qualitative method by integrating a normative approach, which analyzes the Qur’an, hadith, and classical Islamic legal scholarship, with a socio-legal approach based on the examination of social media content and public discourse. The results show that sound horeg functions as a popular form of entertainment and contributes to local economic activities; however, excessive noise intensity generates significant harm, including health disturbances, social tension, and ethical violations. From the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah perspective, these impacts indicate a conflict between public benefit and the protection of essential human interests.
