Abstract
Environmental governance in Muslim majority societies continues to face challenges in translating Islamic legal principles into effective regulatory mechanisms that resonate with both international standards and local legal consciousness. While Islamic environmental discourse has largely been framed through ethical concepts such as stewardship and trust, these narratives remain predominantly normative and insufficient for addressing contemporary demands of environmental regulation and enforcement. This study responds to this gap by reframing Qawaid Fiqhiyyah Kubra from abstract legal maxims into a juridical foundation for environmental regulation.
Keywords: Qawaid Fiqhiyyah, Environmental Governance, Environmental Regulation
