Tinjauan Fiqih Muamalah Terhadap Jual Beli Sapi Sakit Akibat Penyakit Mulut dan Kuku (Studi Kasus di Desa Sambong, Kab. Pacitan)

Abstract

The spread of the Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) virus has had a major impact on the community's economy, especially cattle breeders. Due to a lack of knowledge, many cattle died as a result of this disease. Breeders choose to sell infected cattle at low prices to avoid greater losses if the cows die. Meanwhile, cattle brokers take advantage of this situation to make a profit by buying infected cattle, slaughtering them, and selling the meat at normal prices. This raises speculation in the community and requires an in-depth study of the practice of buying and selling FMD-infected cattle from the perspective of fiqh muamalah. This study used a qualitative descriptive methodology with a case study type. Data collection methods used were documentation, interviews, and observation. The results showed that the decision to sell infected cattle aimed to minimize losses. Scholars allow the practice of buying and selling FMD-infected cattle as long as it does not cause harm to other traders with the intention to harm them. This paper expands on the ethical dimensions of trading in times of crisis and explores the boundaries of profit-making in Islamic jurisprudence regarding defective goods.
