Samsarah in an Islamic Perspective

This article explains the law of samsarah from the views of the fuqahā. The fuqahā differed regarding the legal status of samsarah. The majority of fuqahā believe that the law of samsarah is permissible, while others believe that it is haram and makruh. The reason for granting permission was the opinion of the Fuqaha, based on the Qur'an, Sunnah, and Ijma, that there are elements of kindness and mutual cooperation in samsarah. In terms of characteristics, a samsarah contract is the same as an agent in the modern sense, so that the area of study in fiqh is included in the wakalah chapter. The fuqahā agree that the wakalah contract is permissible with certain conditions. This paper aims to examine how samsarah law is seen from the perspective of Islamic law, whether it is permissible or not, especially concerning buying and selling. The method in this paper uses a descriptive approach which is oriented towards the phenomena or symptoms being observed.
