A Qualitative Study On The Islamic Work Ethic Of Halal Slaughterers At Animal Slaughterhouses In Sampang Regency

Abstract

The Islamic work ethic is a personal ethic that believes that

work is not merely a means of fulfilling worldly needs, but

also a means of doing good deeds because it contains high

values of worship that will later become provisions in the

hereafter. The Central Statistics Agency has shown that the

demand for meat in the Madura region has increased except in Sampang, where the demand for meat has declined

dramatically in 2024. Even so, this can explore how the

Islamic work ethic is maintained amid a simple scale of

operations, where the majority of Sampang residents are

Muslim, and whether the meat is managed in accordance

with Islamic law. The objective of this study is to add new

knowledge about good work ethics based on Islamic

teachings in the world of animal slaughter by a halal

slaughterer. This study uses a descriptive qualitative

method. The data collection techniques used are

observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of

this study show that halal slaughterers at Rumah Potong

Hewan in Sampang Regency already have Juleha

competency certification, so they have successfully

implemented an Islamic work ethic that is in line with

Islamic law. Thus, the 10 indicators of the slaughtering

process in SKKNI No. 147 of 2022 are also optimally

implemented even though the demand for meat has

decreased.
