Summary
Human trafficking is prohibited in Islam and is regarded as a cruel act that goes beyond the bounds of humanity. The prohibition is more serious when the victims are free persons living freely in their own country. The statement cites a hadith qudsi about those who sell a free person and consume the proceeds, and the verse on the honouring of the children of Adam. According to the stronger view among most scholars, the seller of a free person is not treated as a thief and his hand is not cut off, but he is punished.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam konteks Islam jelas menunjukkan haram hukumnya pemerdagangan manusia apatah lagi mereka yang merdeka dan hidup dalam negara sendiri dengan bebasnya.
