Abstract

The utilization of agricultural land along the Pelus River has become an informal livelihood source for local residents, who cultivate government-owned land adjacent to the Darul Arqam boarding school without formal permission. This study aims to analyze this practice from the perspective of Islamic law, particularly the concepts of ijarah and maslahah. This qualitative field research employs an empirical juridical approach, with primary data collected through semi-structured interviews and documentation involving two farmers and two representatives of the Darul Arqam boarding school. The findings reveal that although land use provides significant social and economic benefits for farmers, the cooperation does not meet the legal requirements of a valid ijarah contract, rendering it fasid (invalid) in Islamic jurisprudence. However, from a maslahah perspective, the activity fulfills essential community needs and supports welfare. The study concludes that formalizing contractual agreements would ensure both legal compliance and sustained community benefits.
