This study examines the application of the Ijarah contract in the conversion of forest land into agricultural land in Kaligede Village, focusing on the ethical, social, and environmental implications of the practice. The main problem lies in the tension between economic necessity and Islamic principles of justice and sustainability in land-use transformation. Using the Islamic Economic Justice Theory developed by Chapra (1985), Al-Ghazali, Asutay (2012), and Qardhawi (1995), the study interprets how the values of Tawhid, Khaliqiyyah, Akhlaq, and Ma’ruf are operationalized through the Ijarah mechanism. The findings reveal that the Ijarah contract successfully promotes economic justice (Adl) through equitable access to land, enhances sustainable development (Istislah) by encouraging responsible land use, fosters community empowerment (Ma’ruf) via cooperative management, and maintains environmental balance (Mizan) through ecological ethics. Overall, the research concludes that the integration of Ijarah principles in rural land management reflects a holistic Sharia-based framework for sustainable development. The study recommends that policymakers institutionalize Sharia-compliant leasing systems to balance productivity, justice, and environmental stewardship.
