Implementasi Halal Tourism pada Destinasi Wisata Religi di Kabupaten Gresik dalam Perspektif Maqashid Syariah

Abstract

Religious tourism in Gresik Regency has potential to support halal tourism because of its Islamic historical heritage and continuing pilgrimage activities. This study examines halal tourism implementation at Sunan Giri Tomb, Sheikh Maulana Malik Ibrahim Tomb, and Siti Fatimah binti Maimun Tomb; analyzes the available evidence through the Maqashid Sharia framework; and identifies supporting and inhibiting factors. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with observation, interviews, and documentation involving destination managers, caretakers, traders, and pilgrims. The findings indicate that the three destinations share religious activities and basic facilities, but differ in service and management characteristics. Sunan Giri is marked by religious activities and a wider range of local economic activity; Sheikh Maulana Malik Ibrahim offers historical information and free rest facilities; while Siti Fatimah binti Maimun retains a quiet spiritual atmosphere and historical value but has limited written information and economic activity. The evidence most clearly supports discussion of the preservation of religion, life, intellect, and wealth, while claims concerning the preservation of lineage require more specific evidence. The study recommends improving service quality, historical information, sanitation, halal assurance for relevant products, and community economic opportunities.
