Abstract

The destruction of 14.6 tons of illegally imported mangoes from Thailand in Asahan Regency presents a normative issue that has not been studied academically: how Islamic economic law assesses the legitimacy of the policy of destroying food commodities within the framework of protecting the domestic market. This study aims to analyze the policy of destroying illegally imported goods from the perspective of Indonesian positive law and Islamic economic law, particularly through the principle of dar'ul zakat. mafasid muqaddamun 'ala jalbil mashalih and its supporting principles, while also offering a conceptual formulation regarding the limits of sharia legitimacy in implementing the policy. The research uses a normative-qualitative approach combined with three approaches: legislation ( statute) approach ), conceptual ( conceptual approach ), and case studies ( case approach ). The results of the study indicate that the destruction policy has a strong legal basis in the Trade, Quarantine, and Customs Law , and can also be justified according to sharia because the harm caused by the circulation of illegal mangoes is greater than its partial benefits. The principle of al-dhararu yuzal , akhafu adh-dhararain , and tasharruf al -imam manutun bill Maslahah strengthens this legitimacy while also providing a guideline for proportionality and accountability for state actions. However, Sharia economic law also requires that destruction be considered as a last resort, with more socially beneficial alternatives considered to avoid the practice of israf, which is prohibited by Sharia.
