Praktik Pembayaran Jasa Cukur Rambut di Barbershop Ma’had Al-Zaytun dalam Perspektif Teori Al-Maslahah

This study examines the payment practices for haircut services at the Ma’had Al-Zaytun Barbershop through the lens of al-maslahah theory. Employing a qualitative field‐research design, data were collected via observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation analysis. Findings reveal a centralized payment system handled at the Al-Zaytun Store, accommodating both cash and cashless transactions. Cashless payments are processed by deducting students’ savings or via mobile banking for the general clientele. Classified as ḥājiyyah maslahah, this system facilitates financial record-keeping and offers flexible payment options. It also attains the ḍarūriyyah level by preventing losses and safeguarding the barbershop’s assets. The provision of receipts and precise financial reporting embodies the principles of justice, clarity, honesty, and social welfare. Nevertheless, the absence of a written policy on receipt validity may generate misunderstandings and weaken these principles. Overall, the payment practice aligns with the objectives of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, particularly the protection of wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl).
