Abstract

A child is someone who is still under age, whether male or female. The phenomenon of children as workers often occurs. The reality shows that poor families really need jobs for their children to help the family economy and for their own lives. In the Mampir Pawon Purwokerto Restaurant area, researchers found many underage children working as hawkers. Based on the description above, it is said that children are allowed to work when the child is 13-15 years old, however, the fact that researchers found is that some of the child workers at the Mampir Pawon Restaurant are still in the age range between 6-11 years and their working time is longer. from 3 hours in 1 day, and supervision from parents is still lacking. These child workers are not directly monitored by their respective parents. This has an impact on children's work safety because the Mampir Pawon Restaurant is also a place where other adults work and there are many visitors. The possibility of children experiencing violence cannot be denied because of the hard work life as well as competition in trade or the danger of being kidnapped. So the researcher focused on the research which was outlined in the problem formulation, namely how child labor practices as hawkers at the Mampir Pawon Restaurant in Purwokerto and how Maqasid Syariah reviewed the practice. child laborers as hawkers at the Mampir Pawon Restaurant. The research used is descriptive qualitative field research with data collection techniques using unstructured interviews, observation and documentation. Based on the research results, the author concludes that children are not allowed to work unless the work they do is light and does not interfere with the child's physical, social development and mental health. If you allow children to work in conditions that endanger their lives both physically and psychologically, because long working hours will threaten the child's life, this is not in accordance with maqasid sharia which is a dharuriyyah (primary) need, including protecting the souls of children because children still need them. strict parental protection. Employing children without paying attention to the child's rights is not in accordance with the maqasid sharia, this can make the child mentally weak as contained in the Qur'an, Surah AnNisa' verse 9. Meanwhile, if the child's rights are in accordance with the maqasid sharia, including that is, parents are obliged to provide for their children until the child has the ability to support himself, so that children can explore the potential that exists within them because children are national assets that must be looked after and protected because employing minors can affect the child's growth and development. -children who should get an education but are forced to do a job
