Abstract
The principles of Islamic urban development planning and construction legal principles, deeply rooted in the al-Quran and al-Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), hold immense potential. They emphasise the responsibility of doing good, ensuring public welfare and sustainable development, and preventing evil. Despite the persistent issue of abandoned housing projects in Malaysia, Islamic urban development planning and construction legal principles offer a beacon of hope. However, the current legislation governing the housing industry in Malaysia has fallen short of protecting buyers' rights and interests against abandoned housing projects, highlighting the urgent need for alternative solutions. This paper aims to demonstrate how the principles of Islamic urban development planning and construction can effectively deal with and meaningfully mitigate the negative consequences of such projects. By doing so, they safeguard the rights and interests of buyers involved in housing development. The urgency of the issue is clear, and immediate action is needed. The research methodology employed in this paper is purely based on Islamic legal doctrinal methodology. The findings indicate that Islamic urban development planning and construction legal principles can indeed protect the rights of the public, including buyers, against occurrences of abandoned housing projects and their negative consequences. With its fresh perspectives and potential solutions, this paper represents a significant and impactful contribution to legal literature. It can provide valuable insights and perspectives for policymakers in dealing with the issue of abandoned housing projects in Malaysia.
