Perbandingan Hukum Undian Berhadiah dengan Praktik Maisir dalam Perspektif Syariah

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal basis for prize draws and gambling (maisir) from a sharia perspective and to clarify the boundaries of permissible and prohibited transactions in Islam. The study employed a qualitative approach with library research. Data sources were obtained from the Quran, hadith, fatwas from the National Council of Indonesian Ulemas (DSN-MUI), books on Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh muamalah), and various relevant scientific journals indexed by Google Scholar. Data collection was conducted through documentation, while data analysis employed a descriptive-analytical method with a normative sharia approach. The results indicate that prize draws do not always constitute gambling (maisir). Lotteries are permissible if the prizes are provided by the organizer, there is no element of betting, there are no additional costs, and they do not result in losses for participants. Conversely, lottery practices that involve speculation, fixed payments, and the opportunity for unilateral profit fall into the category of maisir, which is prohibited in Islam. This study emphasizes the importance of public and business actors understanding sharia principles so that business promotion practices remain in line with the values ​​of justice, transparency, and blessings in Islamic economics.
