Employing a multidisciplinary approach, <strong>Parewa Saraq: Journal of Islamic Law and Fatwa Review </strong>seeks to explore how fatwas function not only as religious guidance but also as instruments of legal and social regulation in diverse Islamic contexts. This focus aligns with the journal’s broader scope, which includes critical areas such as Islamic family law, criminal law, gender, economic law, and political dynamics, as well as intersections with Qur’anic and Hadith-based legal reasoning, <em data-start="747" data-end="758">usul fiqh</em>, and responses to contemporary issues. Through these lenses, the journal contributes to the scholarly discourse on the evolving role of fatwas in shaping Islamic legal practices in both national and global settings <a href="http://ejournal.sulselmui.com/index.php/PS/FOCUS-AND-SCOPE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(See Focus and Scope)</a>.

By examining this fatwa, the study aims to contribute to the broader discourse on how Islamic legal reasoning adapts within pluralistic and socio-economically diverse contexts. The research employs a qualitative methodology that combines library research and field study. The library research encompasses Islamic legal sources, previous fatwas, and scholarly literature on<em> maslahah</em> (public interest) and transactions involving prohibited elements in Islam. The field study complements this with interviews involving MUI South Sulawesi scholars and Muslim community members in Toraja, providing insights into both the rationale behind the fatwa and the community’s reception. The findings demonstrate that the fatwa represents a shift from the conventional reliance on blocking the <em>sadd al-dharī‘ah</em> (means to harm) toward a more pragmatic application of <em>maslahah</em> (public interest) and <em>istihsān</em> (juridical preference). By allowing the sale of crops for pig feed, the fatwa acknowledges the socio-economic realities faced by minority Muslims in Toraja and highlights the adaptability of Islamic law in non-majority settings. The originality of this study lies in situating the fatwa within the lived experiences of minority Muslims, showing how <em>maslahah</em> (public interest) functions beyond abstract legal theorization. The implications extend to the development of a more contextual and responsive Islamic jurisprudence that remains relevant to diverse Muslim communities navigating pluralistic societies.</p> Islamul Haq Resi Muh.
