The Fatwa of Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) on deforestation has significant implications in the context of environmental protection in Indonesia. In this abstract, an analysis of the background, content, implications, and relevance of the MUI fatwa is conducted. The background of this fatwa is influenced by the trend of increasing deforestation in Indonesia, the influence of Islamic cultural values, community demand, ulama consensus, and global environmental concerns. The MUI fatwa states that actions harming the environment and contributing to the climate crisis are considered forbidden, including uncontrolled deforestation and forest burning that damage natural ecosystems. Implications of the MUI fatwa include changes in government policies, influence on industrial practices, strengthening public awareness, and collaboration among institutions to achieve environmental protection goals. However, challenges in implementing and adhering to this fatwa include diverse interpretations, resource limitations, alignment with existing policies and practices, behavioral and habit changes, adaptation to local conditions, and education and awareness of the public. To effectively and sustainably address deforestation, measures such as the strict implementation of forest and land management policies, promotion of sustainable agriculture, and increasing public awareness through education and outreach campaigns are necessary. With solid cooperation among the government, civil society, private sector, and religious institutions like the MUI, we can preserve Indonesia’s natural environment for future generations.
