Abstract

Low-income Muslim households in Rengas Condong Village face various economic challenges, including fluctuations in palm oil commodity prices and high production input costs, particularly fertilizer. This study aims to analyze the economic adaptation strategies of Muslim households in dealing with economic uncertainty from an Islamic economic perspective. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with residents and the Head of Rengas Condong Village, observation of economic activities, and documentation of demographic data and regional profiles. The findings indicate that Muslim households implement adaptation strategies through financial management based on the principle of qana’ah, prioritizing dharuriyat needs, and strengthening ta’awun practices in socio-economic life. These strategies help households maintain economic resilience amid income uncertainty. Sustainable adaptation requires strengthening Islamic values, economic access, infrastructure, and supportive government policies for low-income communities.
