FORMULASI FUNGSI MASLAHAH DALAM PERILAKU KONSUMSI RUMAH TANGGA MUSLIM

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to discuss about how the function of maslahah (utility) could be fomulated in the consumtion behavior of a house hold. The function of maslahah in the consumtion behavior is formulated as this equation: M = f ( X, Y, Bx, By). Based on this model, it could be expalained that maslalah is the outcome of an activity which can bring about berkah (benediction). In consequence, each moslem house hold will pay a big attantion to maslahah to do his economic goals. A moslem house hold will select a good or service to consume if it will bring about berkah or not. It means that a moslem house hold doesnt see the utility of the good or service which he will consume only, but also berkah which the good or service has. The behavior of finding berkah for a moslem house hold could be seen through his characters such as not wastefull, paying attantion to another persons interest, not deceiving someone else, and rightfull.
