This study aims to investigate the presence of halal tourism in the Maldives through the lens of Maqasid Shariah. It seeks to link halal and community-based tourism for marketing, attracting more halal tourists through shared objectives and aspirations. Despite a Muslim-majority population, Maldives' tourism sometimes conflicts with Shariah law. The study employed a qualitative approach, specifically surveys were employed to evaluate the extent of adherence to the Maqasid Shariah objectives in tourist establishments, while interviews were conducted with experts in Islamic finance & tourism industry in Maldives. And literature review was used to investigate prior research conducted in other jurisdictions. The topic of halal tourism in the Maldives has elicited divergent perspectives. However, the implementation of community-based tourism (CBT) has the capacity to stimulate economic advancement and enhance the agency of Indigenous communities. The study revealed that CBT has a limited but some impact on the advancement of halal tourism.
Kajian ini bertujuan menyelidik kewujudan pelancongan halal di Maldives menurut perspektif Maqasid Syariah. Ia bertujuan menghubungkan pelancongan halal dan pelancongan berasaskan komuniti untuk pemasaran, menarik lebih ramai pelancong halal melalui objektif dan aspirasi yang sama. Walaupun penduduk Maldives secara majoritinya beragama Islam, pelancongan di Maldives kadangkala bercanggah dengan undang-undang Syariah. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, khususnya tinjauan digunakan untuk menilai sejauh mana pematuhan kepada objektif Maqasid Syariah di tempat penginapan pelancong, manakala temu bual dijalankan dengan pakar dalam industri kewangan & pelancongan Islam di Maldives. Manakala tinjauan literatur digunakan untuk mengkaji penyelidikan terdahulu yang dijalankan di negara lain. Topik pelancongan halal di Maldives telah menimbulkan perspektif yang berbeza. Walau bagaimanapun, pelaksanaan pelancongan berasaskan komuniti mempunyai keupayaan untuk merangsang kemajuan ekonomi dan meningkatkan komuniti masyarakat orang asli. Kajian itu mendedahkan bahawa pelancongan berasaskan komuniti mempunyai kesan terhad tetapi memberi sedikit impak kepada kemajuan pelancongan halal.
