Abstract: This study analyses fraudulent behaviour in weighing goods in traditional markets in Indonesia based on the theory of al-Maqashid asy-Syariah. This study uses a qualitative methodology approach that is normative-empirical and involves 60 traditional markets in three provinces, namely South Sumatra, DKI Jakarta, and Bali. The study’s findings indicate a non-linear relationship between legal compliance and social practices where fraudulent practices still occur although there are regulations that govern them. Fraud in weighing goods is considered legitimate by the community. This is detrimental to consumer protection. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the need to strengthen regulations by incorporating the values ​​of al-Maqashid asy-Syariah to create legitimate compliance with consumer safety in traditional markets. The practical implications of this study include the importance of socialization and training for business actors regarding legal compliance and business ethics to increase awareness of the importance of consumer protection. A fairer and more transparent market environment can be created, protecting consumer rights and encouraging business practices with integrity through a multi-party approach.
