Maslahah means benefit or interest and it is divided into three types. First, ‘essential maslahah’, it consists of the five values which are religion, life, intellect, lineage and property and it must be preserved wholly by enforcing shari’a laws which intended to save Muslim community. Next, ‘complementary maslahah’ is supplementary to ‘essential maslahah. Whoever denies it will face hardship. That is why Allah has granted us concession to ease people’s live. That can be proved in the Quran, “Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you.” [2:185]. Lastly, ‘embellishment maslahah’ is basically to perfect and improve muslim’s deeds in every aspects by practicing moderation (wasatiyyah) in life.
