Abstract
Salt is a commodity that is really needed by society, both in food and raw. In April 2023 it was reported that the price of salt in Sampang Regency increased by more than 100%. The price of salt reaches IDR 8,000/kg. The normal price of salt ranges from IDR 1000 - IDR 3000/ kg., According to researchers, the increase in salt prices in Sampang Regency is not due to high demand. There is no data regarding the increase in demand. However, based on the data, salt production in Sampang Regency is getting smaller every year. At the end, the supply of salt is not being able to cover demand so that the price of salt rises. In this study, the phenomenon of increasing salt prices also will be viewed from the perspective of maqashid sharia.
