The Strategic of the Ummah as Guardians of Family Food (Hifzh al-Ghidhā'): A Sharia Review of Improving Knowledge of Poultry Product Quality and Safety
Keywords:
Quasi-Experiment, Ummahat, Food Safety, Hifzh an-Nafs, Poultry ProductsAbstract
This study aims to measure the effect of educational interventions on increasing the knowledge of the ummahat (housewives) group regarding the quality and safety of poultry products, viewed from the perspective of Maqashid Syari'ah. Ummahat has a vital role in Hifzh an-Nafs (maintenance of the soul) through ensuring halal thayyiban. The method used is a quasi-experimental study with a One-Group Pre-test Post-test design. The research subjects are ummahat in Muhajirun Hamlet, South Lampung. This hamlet has an area of 90 hectares and is supported by educational facilities based on Islamic boarding schools (such as Shuffah Hizbullah Islamic Boarding School) and a religious center (An Nubuwwah Mosque), creating a religious environment with a strong culture of mutual cooperation. The results of the study showed a very significant increase in knowledge from a total average score of 43.13 in the pre-test to 90.43 in the post-test. The highest increase was recorded in the aspect of Characteristics of Good Eggs (49.80%). The results of the statistical test support the hypothesis that educational intervention Iḥtiyāṭ(caution) has proven effective in transferring food safety knowledge. Increasing the knowledge of the ummahat group regarding the quality and safety of poultry products is a sharia obligation summarized in the Maqashid Syari'ah framework, specifically Hifzh an-Nafs and Hifzh al-Mal. The ummahat plays a role as muḥāfizh al-ghidhā'(food guard) who ensures that every mouthful for the family is halal and thayyiban.
