Abstract

The contemporary global environmental crisis demands a normative ethical framework capable of balancing natural resource utilization with the obligation of preservation. This study aims to reconstruct a responsive and sustainable environmental jurisprudence through the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah approach. Utilizing a library research method, the collected data were analyzed qualitatively through normative fiqh and maqāṣid analytical frameworks. The findings reveal that classical jurisprudence provides foundational normative instruments, such as the concepts of khalīfah (stewardship), amānah (trust), ḥimā (protected conservation areas), ḥarīm (buffer zones), and legal maxims regarding harm prevention. However, partial textual approaches often fall short in addressing systemic, global ecological crises. The maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah framework expands environmental protection into a vital prerequisite for safeguarding life (ḥifẓ al-nafs) and wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl), thereby positioning ecosystem sustainability as a essential necessity (ḍarūriyyāt). This research formulates an integrative ecological jurisprudence model characterized by the halal–ṭayyib–sustainable parameters, combining traditional normative principles, public interest considerations, thematic rulings (fatwā), and sharia-based public policy (siyāsah shar‘iyyah). The implication of this reconstruction provides a solid epistemological and methodological foundation for establishing modern environmental governance rooted in Islamic transcendent values.
