Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of sustainable household waste management by integrating environmental fiqh values with training in using waste separation bins. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving village officials, religious leaders, environmental cadres, and community members. The data were analyzed thematically, using triangulation to ensure the validity and credibility of the findings. The results indicate that integrating environmental fiqh principles into practical waste-sorting training enhances community ecological awareness, waste management skills, and environmentally responsible behaviors. Participatory training with hands-on practice and ongoing mentoring encouraged community members to separate household waste by type consistently. These practices improved environmental cleanliness, reduced waste accumulation, and improved environmental health conditions. The findings suggest that combining religious values with practical environmental education can provide a contextual, sustainable strategy for strengthening community participation in household waste management. This approach also demonstrates the potential of environmental fiqh as a value-based framework for fostering long-term ecological responsibility and supporting sustainable community-based environmental practices.
