<![CDATA[Agricultural profit-sharing is a form of cooperation widely practiced by rural communities to optimize land utilization and improve the welfare of both landowners and cultivators. In Lubuak Talang, the profit-sharing arrangement has changed from one-third to one-fourth of the harvest for landowners due to the increasing production costs borne entirely by the cultivators. This change has raised legal and ethical concerns regarding the implementation of the agreement, particularly with respect to fairness, mutual consent, and risk allocation. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the profit-sharing system and evaluate its conformity with the principles of fiqh muamalah. This research employed a qualitative field research approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed descriptively. The findings reveal that the cooperation is based on the mukhabarah contract, in which the landowner provides the agricultural land while the cultivator bears all production costs until harvest. Although this contract is generally permissible under fiqh muamalah, its implementation has not fully reflected the principles of ar-ridha and al-‘adalah, as the revised profit-sharing ratio was not established through an equal bargaining position. In addition, no clear agreement exists regarding the allocation of risks in the event of crop failure. Therefore, clearer provisions concerning the rights and obligations of both parties, the profit-sharing mechanism, and risk allocation are required to ensure that the agreement is implemented in accordance with the principles of justice, mutual consent, and public benefit in fiqh muamalah.]]>
