Abstrak
Tren thrifting, atau jual beli pakaian bekas, telah menjadi fenomena global yang populer, terutama di kalangan generasi muda. Fenomena ini didorong oleh berbagai faktor, mulai dari isu keberlanjutan lingkungan, ekonomi, hingga ekspresi gaya hidup. Namun, di balik popularitasnya, thrifting memunculkan berbagai pertanyaan etis dan moral, terutama ketika dianalisis dari perspektif Maqasid Syariah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji urgensi Maqasid Syariah sebagai kerangka evaluasi yang komprehensif untuk menilai tren thrifting. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan studi pustaka, tulisan ini menganalisis fenomena thrifting dengan menimbang maslahat (manfaat) dan mafsadat (kerugian) yang ditimbulkannya. Hasil Penelitian ini menjawab bahwa berdasarkan analisis menggunakan Maqasid Syariah, tren thrifting memiliki dua sisi yang kontras. Sebagai solusi, thrifting sejalan dengan prinsip hifz al-mal (menjaga harta) karena menawarkan akses sandang yang terjangkau dan mengurangi limbah tekstil. Hal ini juga mendukung hifz al-bi'ah (menjaga lingkungan) dengan mempromosikan ekonomi sirkular. Namun, sebagai ancaman, thrifting berpotensi merusak hifz al-mal makro karena mengancam industri tekstil lokal. Selain itu, aspek hifz al-nafs (menjaga jiwa/kesehatan) dapat terabaikan jika pakaian bekas tidak disanitasi, dan dapat mendorong perilaku israf (pemborosan) yang bertentangan dengan etika Islam. Dengan demikian, thrifting adalah solusi hanya jika dilakukan secara etis dan bertanggung jawab.

Abstract
The trend of thrifting, or buying and selling used clothing, has become a popular global phenomenon, especially among the younger generation. This phenomenon is driven by various factors, ranging from environmental sustainability issues, economics, to lifestyle expressions. However, behind its popularity, thrifting raises various ethical and moral questions, especially when analyzed from the perspective of Maqasid Syariah. This study aims to examine the urgency of Maqasid Syariah as a comprehensive evaluation framework for assessing the thrifting trend. Using a qualitative approach and literature review, this paper analyzes the thrifting phenomenon by weighing the maslahat (benefits) and mafsadat (drawbacks) it entails. The findings of this study indicate that, based on an analysis using Maqasid Syariah, the thrifting trend has two contrasting sides. As a solution, thrifting aligns with the principle of hifz al-mal (preserving wealth) by offering affordable clothing and reducing textile waste. It also supports hifz al-bi'ah (preserving the environment) by promoting a circular economy. However, as a threat, thrifting has the potential to undermine macro hifz al-mal by jeopardizing the local textile industry. In addition, the aspect of hifz al-nafs (preserving life/health) can be neglected if used clothing is not sanitized, and can encourage israf (wasteful) behavior that is contrary to Islamic ethics. Thus, thrifting is a solution only if it is done ethically and responsibly.
