Abstract

This study aims to examine the cooperative mechanisms of cattle management from a Shariah economic perspective, with a specific focus on the practices of cattle farmers in Janapria Village, Central Lombok Regency. The research seeks to analyze how local cooperative arrangements align with the principles of Islamic economics, particularly those emphasizing justice (‘adl), partnership (musharakah), and mutual benefit (ta‘awun). Using a qualitative descriptive approach and a case study design, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation with key stakeholders, including cattle owners and managers. The findings reveal that the cooperation system implemented by farmers in Janapria Village embodies several elements consistent with Shariah principles, particularly in the distribution of profits and the avoidance of riba (interest) and gharar (uncertainty). However, certain practices still lack full compliance due to the absence of written agreements and unequal bargaining positions between the parties involved. From an Islamic economic standpoint, these cooperation mechanisms can be optimized by formalizing contracts (akad) that ensure fairness, transparency, and accountability. The study concludes that integrating Shariah-based principles into local livestock management not only enhances economic sustainability but also strengthens ethical and social responsibility among rural farming communities.
