Concerning the alarming pace of environmental pollution globally, it is crucial to consider any points of view, especially faith-based perspectives, to tackle this complex situation. This research analyses the current consequences of Islamic environmental regulations, specifically examining jurists' views on ecological sustainability, private property, and penalties for individuals causing environmental damage. Scholars in the Islamic faith have expressed different judgments and concepts regarding environmental pollution. The instructions cover conserving the planet, securing private belongings, and outlining penalties for individuals harming their surroundings. The article analyses how jurists handle ecological problems within Islamic law by drawing from conventional Islamic legal texts and modern interpretations. The investigation uncovers a variety of legal decisions that highlight the significance of ecological preservation as a matter of faith and ethical need. Jurists emphasize the interdependence between humans and larger ecosystems and promote ethical handling of earth's resources. Moreover, they emphasize the concept of transparency, stating that people are responsible for the outcomes of their choices in their surroundings. This article aims to clarify the legal viewpoints on environmental pollution to enhance current debates on environmental ethics and policy development. The importance of Islamic jurisprudence in dealing with current environmental issues is highlighted, emphasizing the need for more focus on the moral aspects of protecting the environment in various cultures and religions. Eventually, it supports an integrated strategy that combines moral, legal, and theological factors in protecting the earth for subsequent generations.
