Abstract

The increase in the price of fuel oil or fuel occurred many times due to many factors. For this reason, this study aims to analyze the increase in the selling price of fuel oil from an Islamic perspective. The method used is case studies and literature or literature review with the latest data on price increases in August 2022. The results of the analysis are that according to the government the factor in the increase in the selling price of fuel oil in Indonesia is the revocation of subsidies, there are 5 reasons: (1 ) State Budget “Earned” by subsidies; (2) subsidies reduce people's independence; (3) subsidies reduce smuggling; (4) subsidies are only enjoyed by the upper class; and (5) subsidies to reduce poverty. However, the reality is that fuel subsidies have never been given to the people, instead it is the people who subsidize the government. So the term subsidy was replaced by the difference between the international oil price and the price imposed by the government on its own people. To overcome the problem of rising fuel prices, there are two solutions that can be proposed, namely tactical solutions and strategic solutions based on Islamic law.
