Masjid Penghasil Sampah Selama Ramadan: Evaluasi Kualitatif Pelatihan Masjid BERKAH (Bersama Kurangi Sampah) dan Hambatan Relasi dengan Donatur di Bandung
Keywords:
Ecotheology, Grassroots Innovation, Islamic Philanthropy, Waste ReductionAbstract
Every Ramadan, mosques turn into some of the largest seasonal waste generators in their communities, primarily because the iftar meals donated come in single-use packaging. This contradicts the Islamic teachings prohibiting israf and tabzir. This qualitative evaluation study of the BERKAH Mosque Training (zero waste mosque) in Bandung aimed to analyze how donors, as actors outside the mosque, hinder the waste reduction innovations pursued by trained mosque managers. In-depth interviews with eight alumni and structured observations at their respective mosques were analyzed thematically. The results revealed that negotiations succeeded when donations kept the form donors intended, but failed when donors were asked to change the form of their donations. The training also widened the gap in perspectives between managers and donors, because it equipped managers to uphold the values of generosity and environmental sustainability at once (values the donors may never have embraced). This study concludes that the constraints are paradigmatic in nature. Therefore, interventions must be able to address the whole chain of donation, and religious institutions also need to formulate guidelines for zero waste charity through the framework of environmental fiqh.
